Option to remove blur from overlays
I have experimented with clear backgrounds on overlays but when an overlay is shown the slide below is automatically blurred and there seems to be no way to control this.
You should be able to make an overlay clear so that the image below can be seen.

Make it possible to change the state of cursor on hover over a hotspot
If you want to have an invisible hotspot but still reveal it on a hover the only option is to change the initial state of the hotspot to invisible but make the hover state visible.
You should be able to change the state of the cursor instead. For example, change it from a white arrow to a grey or black one, or from a white arrow to a finger pointer.

Allow multiple textboxes within groups
Often designers want bullet points or small blocks of text to appear as they are spoken in the narration, so you might want 5-10 short pieces of text appearing at different points on a slide. It's extremely common. I don't see a way to do that on a single slide since you're limited to one text element. THe only way would be for them to be stacked and have virtually 10 slides worth of material for the user to scroll down through as the narration progresses, requiring extremely active scrolling along with the narration - which will NEVER happen. This…

Bug: Video slide and 'go to next slide'
If a video slide is created, and then an interaction to 'go to next slide' is added, although the testing in edit mode shows it working, when the project is previewed or published it does not work. The slide pauses and does not advance to the next slide as intended.

Bring back object styles.
Being able to apply universal changes across a large quantity of objects across all slides was one of the big reasons why I prefer Captivate 2019 to Storyline. This saves me so much time and I can use this for future trainings made for the same company.

Preview starting always on slide 1 (v12.3)
in the new update v12.3 the preview always starts on the first slide and not the current active slide, as before. It would be great, if it starts at the current (active) slide again.

The ability to be able to export as one file is critical
You can only export to a web format, which is fine, but it means the video output is split into many files. I use Premiere Pro to compile my videos, add a title page, etc, and having hundreds of tiny files is difficult to manage, plus they can get mixed up in import to Pr. Please give us back the option to export to a simple MP4.

Button Disabled State is not working
If I select the Button and show states, it shows a 'disabled' state, though it is grayed out and not selectable. If I use any action to set the button to disabled - the 'Normal' state is shown, though the button is not selectable (it does not have a hand icon and does not react to clicking it).
Maybe I am not understanding how the disabled state works? Why can't I change the appearance, though there is a disabled 'state' when the button is set to disabled?

Bug - Slides size after software simulation
After creating a few normal slides, when adding larger software simulation slides, the "working area" of the previously designed normal slides has enlarged and is now the size of a software simulation slide, which suggests that the slides need to be adjusted. It would be nice if each view in the "work area" ,represented the size of the slide in the preview, depending on the slide type (normal or software simulation).

Play media from assets
When you add an interaction to a button you can have it "Play Media" but you can only select media from your file explorer, you cannot select anything from assets. Please allow us to select media from assets.

Add a closed captioning to a slide that includes a 'Web' video as the video Source.
As it stands now you can only import closed captions when you upload the original mp4 file. If you choose the web video source option, there is not an option to add captions. At a minimum you should allow the use of the Youtube video playbar so users can toggle the youtube closed captions. This seems like a big miss for accessibility.

Closed captions styling not applied to slide or all slides
It is incredibly tedious to change the font style and size on desktop, tablet and phone for EVERY caption typed on a slide. I type up my caption, change the sizes, hit Apply to this slide AND apply to all slides, then hit + to add another caption on the same slide and none of my changes are applied.
Please fix this or in the themes area have a way to style the Closed captions separately from other captions (feedback, etc.).
Thank you.

Enable Edit in Audition like there was in Captivate Classic and in Premiere Pro
There should be the option to edit audio directly in Audition, save changes and update in Captivate automatically, just like in Premiere Pro.

timing
Support for timing. If a button, as an example, should not appear until the end of a video - there's no way to use a property/setting to change the timing for when the button should appear. Currently, the only way is to drag the beginning of the button manually on the timeline - and that is "buggy" if you have to drag beyond the time visible in the timeline. The timing properties should include Appear After (for when the item should start to appear) and the length of appearance (at least second-based; and for rest of slide values)

Quick Start Projects in 12.3
Some bugs:
Like in previous versions the error 'Missing fonts' which was already present in the first QSPs is still in those projects, even in the new ones.
You cannot start a project anymore from 'Features Quick Start Projects, only from the new option Featured Project.
I always believed that those projects could help with understanding Captivate. Why do they never have a description of the user variables?
I have not watch all projects so far, but I never did see an example of using the bookmarks? It is one of the unique new extended features, why is this not…2 votes
