Export/Import Preferences
There are no longer Global Preferences, which you could set from the Welcome screen in Captivate Classic. That is already very bad, but not being able to export a set of Preferences and import it in a new project is really CRITICAL for localisation. I always had a set of Preferences for French, Dutch, Italian, German ready to import if I needed to have Quizzing labels in that particular language. This is more important than missing the spell control for those languages.

Bug: Closed Captions Variable doesn't work
If you hide the closed captions by setting the variable $$Project.ClosedCaptions$$ to false, the closed captions can no longer be displayed even if you set the variable to true again. This means you cannot use your own button to hide and show the Closed Captions.

Block for "previous" and "next" buttons in Interactions.
Create a block for previous and next buttons that can be added to any slide. This appears along with the widgets, but a fast way to add that same design to any slide would be great. Currently you have to create 2 buttons and the change the design as well as program the 2 buttons.

Software simulation settings should be sticky
In 2019, when you created a software simulation it remembered size, location on screen and other settings. Now, each time I create a simulation, it asks me for the same details. This means if I have forgotten to take a screen or series of actions, the capture area is not in the same place. This means a lot of messing around to get the capture lining up with the software window. It's incredibly frustrating. Also, please remember the tracking setting! I don't want or need automatic tracking, so having it reset each time is irritating.

Multiple failure captions
Give back the multiple Failure captions for questions with multiple attempts. It used to be 3 in all older versions, but I wouldn't mind more than 3.
Since the captions are now states in a multistate object. But is impossible to add states to this object and even if that was possible, there is no way to address that object with an interaction, since it is an embedded object without ID.
Look at this workflow which I recently demonstrated for a user. The workflow with the failure captions works also in a responsive project with Fluid Boxes, but not in…1 vote -

Captivate 12..1.0.16 (German Version, Windows)
I can't enter a number in "Custom". It switch only to 2 answers and my Answers 3 to 5 are emty again, when I reselect 5 Answers.
Please repair it and please more design options.

Feedback messages issues
Due to the deprecation of Themes there are no object styles for the Feedback messages on quizzes. They have terrible color combinations which make them unreadable. It is possible to edit the style of the Shape/Text when finding the Hide button next to the barely visible because dimmed 'Caption' option. However I didn't find a way to transfer the new styling to all the feedback messages in the project. Is that possible?

Deleting item on Timeline
The only way to delete it at this moment is by using the right-click menu. I cannot use the Delete key on my keyboard. This may be due to the fact that I am NOT on a US keyboard, but on an AZERTY Belgian keyboard.

Typewriter bugs
When applying an Entrance Typewriter animation on more than one text in a slide, and the texts are staggered on the timeline, only the first animation will appear. Sometimes it will only appear if the first text starts from the first frame. If you delete the animation on the first text, and keep it on the second text which appears later the animation never plays. It is a rather inconsistent bug, which I explored with multiple slides, Text Blocks and Media Blocks containing text components.

blur
Blur does not seem to be working properly. Blur is very subtle for most values. It's not until 50 that anything really happens. Then maybe 80 for the next. But the most significant is between 90 and 91. This occurs for all images and anything that blur applies. Seems like a bug that blur isn't very significant until 91. By then, it's too significant of a difference. 91 is probably appropriate, but the lower values should increase blur more

Enable rounded corner in theme customization
Please, could you enable the option to add rounded corners in theme customization? Where in the "Adobe Captivate>HTML>index.html" I can inject or force the same value for rounded corners or to edit the border style?
Thanks

Don't gray-out buttons when not disabled
When a UI button has grayed-out text, the assumption is that the button is disabled and not able to be clicked. The states button is grayed out by default and yet it's still clickable. This does not conform to the expected use of this UI design. Don't gray out a button that is clickable.

Review Quiz: why dimming?
When reviewing the quiz, the answers remain dimmed like they are after submitting. Not very friendly for older eyes: light grey on a white background. If you use images as answers, a state is applied to them during Review, state which is not editable because I cannot even figure out which one it is. It looks like the original Hover state, but - since disable has no effect for that state - I always make it identical to the Normal state. Where is the state visibble in the Review mode?

Click and holding playhead
Part of my workflow in Cp11 was clicking and holding on the playhead to preview slide audio from that point on the timeline. I would love if this feature returned. It was very useful when working on the timing of objects on the timeline.

Deleting second step Submit Process
The only way to get rid of the feedback messages, a question I often get all over social media, is a clumsy workaround (will post a blog post and add the link here). To achieve this for a complete quiz, you can take out the Default labels, and set the system colors for Success and 'Error' (why do you use that term is a mystery) in the Theme to 0%. But... contrary to previous versions where taking out the feedback messages resulted in getting rid of the second step of the Submit process (click on slide or Y) tthat is…

Translations from one language to another
A great feature in keeping with the Sneak Peeks we were shown at ALS would be translating on-screen text from one language to another. In Canada, we are required by law to make learning available in both French and English. Automating as many of these processes would be beneficial. A one button solution for an entire project would be great.
