Group Objects Together
Can you allow us to group objects together and name that group to help with multi-action interactions, please? Sometimes we need to show or hide a group of objects at once and it would save time to just reference the group instead of all of the objects in that group. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Ensure font consistency based on Theme Editor; ensure consistent "fall-back" fonts
If a user does not have fonts listed in the theme editor, the fall-back font use appears inconsistent. For example, two boxes on the same slide may both be selected as Heading 6 but appear as two completely different fonts to the viewer.
Even when using basic fonts available to all users, some learners see a different font than I see in the preview and published modes. Fonts are, at time, inconsistent to what I have in the preset fonts for the module.
Ensuring font consistency is crucial to the deployment of a professionally streamlined product.

allow free movement of blocks
The interface using a fixed block-based layout is awful. Jumping through hoops just to design a slide with a video where I want it and a text box next to it.

Slide video sometimes restarts the video
I have several slides with slide video blocks, each of which displays a different MP4 video file. The project is hosted on a web server, not an LMS. I noticed that when I updated the videos, and re-uploaded the project to the web server, the videos would often spontaneously restart anywhere from 3 to 10 seconds into the video. The problem was more pronounced after I cleared my browser (Edge) cache, and the restart problem seemed to go away after I ran the project a few times. This led me to believe it was related to how the slide video…

Fix the PowerPoint Import
I have a PowerPoint presentation with graphics, text that is bolded and/or italicized, and line drawings.
When I have Captivate import the presentation, it absolutely WRECKS bold or italicized texts within a sentence, and makes line drawings unintelligible.
I have used Captivate as my tool of choice for years.
I sat on my Fortune 500 company's evaluation team when the "new and improved" Captivate came out.
WE DROPPED CAPTIVATE FROM USE because of poor functionality.Now I have my own company and do work for clients. I am evaluating Captivate for several new projects -- but I am not seeing…

Bug - Tabs Widget does not show correctly in preview
When using the Tabs Widget in captivate all looks fine but in preview in Horizontal Mobile (only) all texts is cramped into the right side. When you remove the image element there is no such problem. It seems that the picture does not resize, therefore not space is left for the text. It is a shame because this widget has a lot of use cases in learning. See attached media. Any idea of fixes will be welcomed.

Bug - Simulations - Typing Text discolouration
In creating an OpenSearch simulation, I have noticed there is discolouration of certain elements (per attachment; it's an orange-brown overlay). Captivate never told me it was going to do it, nor did it ever let me control any aspect of it. And the only way to get rid of it is to get rid of Typing Text, making the whole thing moot.
I'll use DaVinci Resolve to record a demo and forgo training and assessment because this is one more way the All-New Captivate is All Buggy.2 votes -
Scalable HTML-5 publish setting for non-responsive projects
Currently, non-responsive projects in Captivate 13 do not have a publish setting (like Captivate Classic) for scalable HTML-5. This feature is very much needed as alot of your customers are still creating non-responsive projects with Captivate 13. This feature will also be needed when importing previous captivate classic non-responsive projects into Captivate 13 (feature is coming soon). Is a publish setting for scalable HTML-5 in the works already for non-responsive projects? If not this is a huge oversight and this feature needs to be incorporated as soon as possible.

Visible Scrolling Options for Continuous Scroll Slides and/or Projects
It is not inherent to all learners that they need to scroll down to view more with slides or projects that continue beyond the screen view.
For projects and/or slides that require the use of scrolling to view the entire slide or project, add a visibility that indicates the learner will need to scroll down to view the rest of the slide. Either a customizable scroll bar and/or up/down arrows that appear and remain visible for directing the learner during the training. Make it accessible for screen readers and keyboard only users.

Include the Captivate 2019 video playbar re-wind and forward function in Captivate 13.0
Captivate 13.0 does not have video re-wind and forward functions. These functions are important for projects that require the learner to fully understand and confident in a process before moving on in the project. These missing functions are standard in video display

Create the ability to insert videos to auto play and place and shrink wherever it's needed by the user
Currently, if you want to insert a video, it creates a rectangular prison that doesnt allow the video to be moved (for me, I created an animation in Adobe express and uploaded it as an MP4 into Captivate- since it is an ADOBE product, it should be integrated into other adobe programs)
It also doesnt allow for resizing beyond a certain size regardless if you undo auto.

Create a image comparison slider widget

I have been using sliders like this in the web object but it preforms really badly in the mobile view.

Review rendering of transparent background images
Transparent images in PNG or SVG format when used as background are showing a thin line like it was being tiled, even if the tile option is not selected.
In the example attached, I have a simple SVG with an angled corner used as background, and on the bottom-right corner it displays a line of the same colour.
The same happens with PNG images.

Being able to add to the number of checkbox rows within interactive components
As seen in the 2 attached screenshots, there is no way to add/increase the number of checkboxes (as an interactive component) for use in a checklist type of a scenario. Currently multiple separate checkbox components will need to be created for a workaround which is a lengthy process as spacings need to be changed.

Make it easier to change AI-generated voiceover word pronunciation
I'm finding it difficult to get the text-to-speech to pronounce certain words correctly. Currently, I want it to say "lead" (the metal - rhymes with "bed"), but the AI-generated voice will only pronounce it "lead" (to guide, rhymes with "seed"). When I type in "led" to try and correct this, the voiceover spells it out (as in, "LED" light). Is there a way to adjust the pronunciation? If not, this would be a helpful feature.

Quiz Review locks out retake
If a learner fails a quiz and then they review the quiz and use 'Show Answers' button it locks out options to either retake or continue leaving the Learner in limbo.
In this scenario it should be optioned that they can retake the quiz or if this is not the wanted outcome then Continue with the failed results recorded to LMS.

Mouse Properties - Size Apply to all slides
In Classic I could amend my mouse properties so that a mouse click only lasted for 1 second and was a straight path and I always positioned at the first part of every slide to make editing a lot easier and then I would apply to all slides - can we please have this feature in New Captivate - otherwise it makes editing ten times as long without it

Slide Customization
While the slide and widget templates are helpful, it would also be useful to allow for customization of blank slides. This allows the designer to create custom layouts much as Articulate Storyline does
