Add a completion dialog to the "Remove Unused Items" function
The option "Remove Unused Items" is helpful and seems to do the job of cleaning up the project file and reducing its size. However, under Captivate 12.6.0 there is no completion dialog to inform the user that the function has been completed. A useful dialog might be something like the following:
All unused items have been removed from this project.
48 items were removed, reducing this project file size by 586k.

Ability to Widen the images in a Checkbox
I am using images in a checkbox but I am not able to widen the checkbox to fit in a wide sized image. The only size available to me is something almost square. Would it be possible for a checkbox or the multiple choice question slides extend in size depending on the image chosen? I am attaching an example that shows the issue. The first image is a bit small for users to see but if it could be extended to the right, it would be a lot easier. The image attached is just an example.

Add speed adjustments to the AI voices
In other programs with AI voices, we can adjust the speed. The new voices are really good, but it would be nice to slow them down or speed them up depending on the need for a slide.

The new Adobe Captivate version does not support adding custom navigation elements like in the Classic version. Currently, the header and footer only allow limited customization—such as displaying the course name, page number, and TOC. There is no option to globally add essential navigation buttons like Back, Next, Glossary, or Resources across the course design. This limitation significantly impacts the flexibility and user experience of eLearning modules. Please consider reintroducing the ability to create and apply custom navigation players, as available in Adobe Captivate Classic.

Accessibility Bug: The scrolling text area does not have a tab index
The click to reveal widget forces a scrolling text box. This text box cannot be scrolled by a keyboard user, because there is no tab index on the box itself. It is also not clear that the text box is scrollable, because the thumb for the scrollbar is hidden until scrolling with the mouse. This box should be responsive on browser zoom and expand vertically to show the text, rather than cut the text off in a scrolling area. If it must do a scrolling area, that scrolling area needs the scroll bar thumb as an indicator, and also needs…

Mouse Pointer Settings
Allow for editing the color of the mouse pointer or include the one that looks exactly like a mouse on your computer. We want to be as realistic as possible and the mouse that looked most accurate in Adobe Captivate Classic is not available in the All-New version of Captivate. The closest looking one is gray, but there is no way to change the color of it to white.

Add a way to keep the arrow pointer visible after the animation on a software sim.
Currently, when the animation of the pointer is complete, the pointer disappears. There should be a way to separate the animation from the arrow graphic on the timeline so you can have the pointer persist on the screen until the end of the slide. This would be particularly helpful if you have audio over a particular slide on a simulation that is describing movements. You could then sync the movement with where it is mentioning it in the audio clip, but have the arrow pointer continue to point to the place until the end of the clip.

Simulation Blur Area Enhancements
In software simulations where private information is consistently visible (ex: Financial Institutions, Healthcare Systems, etc.), it is difficult to make the sizing of blur areas consistent across slides in Assessment & Training Software Simulations. This could be distracting for end users, and doesn't enable the quality I'd like to deliver. Can you add the ability to copy/paste these blocks, input pixel measurements, or some kind of setting to allow the blur to appear on subsequent slides?

Web Object: Add HTML5 Animations
Please add the option to insert HTML5 web animations under Web Object Source: System. Like but not only Adobe Animate projects or GSAP, Hype or other jQuery/JS animative applications. These files could be embedded in OAM or ZIP archive format like it is possible in Classic Captivate. This idea is closely related to the need of a Library in the All-New-Captivate.

Add support for smart quotes when typing text
When typing quotes in Captivate 12.6, all single and double quotation marks appear as "straight quotes" or "typewriter quotes." Improve the readability and display of text typed directly into captivate by automatically converting these punctuation marks into “curly” quotes (also known as ‘smart’ quotes).
While it is possible to insert the improved “smart” quotes by copying and pasting from a word processor (e.g., Microsoft Word), it is not always convenient to copy and paste text from another document when authoring a course directly in Captivate. Additionally, quoted text built into the software by default (for example: Select "Next" or press…

Allow for adding captions to any audio, not just at the slide level. For example audio attached to slide objects or interactions.

Text block
When long passages of text in a text block are included and you want to change or add something, the cursor jumps every time to the end of the text even though I clicked at the top. I then always have to scroll back up. The text should not jump every time I clicked inside or outside of the text block.

allow for a fixed multiple choice answer when answers are shuffled
A lot of us use "All of the above" (and sometimes even "None of the above") as a multiple-choice answer, but from a layout perspective it only makes sense to have that (or those) answer(s) at the bottom. Another way to think about it would be to only shuffle certain answers, but not others. Maybe creating a fixed class and having it positioned at 16 (given that 15 is the limit)?

Allow re-ordering of buttons in a button block
It would be helpful if you could change the order of existing buttons that appear in a button block.
For example -- I have a project with two buttons. I've already set up complex interactions for each button. Now, I want to add a third button to the same block. By default, the third button appears on the right, but I want it to appear on the left. There is no way for me to move it there. Instead, I have to re-do the buttons I've already created and programmed.

rewind audio or jump to bookmark
I want a user to be able to partially rewind the audio of a slide they were listening, without having to go back to the very beginning of the slide. They should be able to move back and forth, just like I can do in development mode, Captivate Classic, in a YouTube video, or like almost any audio/video player. Related to this, I would like to have a "Go to bookmark" action to go to a particular bookmark in the current (or other) slide. If the audio for a slide is long, it is very inconvenient to listen to go…

BUG: 12.5 Accordion Widgets broken in 12.6
I have a project built in 12.5 with multiple accordion widgets that worked fine. After updating to 12.6, Captivate gives an error message "Something went wrong while content block insertion." and the widget is missing from those slides. For readability below, Slide A has the accordion widget built in 12.5 that I'm trying to get to work in 12.6.
If I try to Preview the project from Slide A, after clicking to start, the window goes gray and it just says "something went wrong!" in small text in the top left. Starting the Preview from a different slide and navigating…
