Progress bar widget
It would be nice to have a progress bar widget that could be pin on top of the slide to let user see his progression in the course.

installation
RE: Installation of Captivate 12 ver. 12.3.0
Bug report for Adobe Captivate 12 x64 ver. 12.3.0 installation: I attempted to install Adobe Captivate 12_x64 – Ver 12.3.0, and have been waiting for at least 30 minutes with no progress. (Refer to the screen capture attached). I tried clicking the hyperlink (sign in here) with no success. A new browser page failed to launch further installation instructions. I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks,

captions move when adding new text
Force the caption to use the same font that it's used on the theme or add a caption style in the theme options to set up.

Simplify selection of correct answer in multiple choice questions
In previous versions of Adobe Captivate, selecting the correct answer for a multiple choice question was a single step process of merely selecting the correct answer(s) and that was it. With the All-new Adobe Captivate you need to first click on Select Answer, then select the answer(s) and then press the Done button. This is now a three step process. This process is now at least two more clicks per slide. While this is not a complicated process it will take more time to perform these steps, especially if you have a large number of question slides to produce.

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.

SVGs should not be cropped to the placeholder icon
When using the SVG media block, custom SVGs are always cropped to the form and size of the placeholder which is cicular or square. That was never the case when using SVGs in older versions, and is also not the case for bitmap images, which can resize to the placeholder. I create the SVGs in Illustrator, and of course I will lose the chosen font if I don't convert text to vectors. That I can understand, but not the cropping

Support web-based video streaming services using web objects and iframes.
We currently use iframes in a web object on a slide in Captivate Classic to stream video from an enterprise video streaming service called Vbrick (www.vbrick.com). We would like to see this supported in Captivate 2023.

Delay interactions by precise interval of time
In Captivate Classic you could create an advanced action that was "delayed by" some duration. I would like to have that option in All-New.

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?

But - Applying colors/fonts globally for all objects in project properties
I have built some slides including all possible objects and widgets using the previously set up colours in "project properties" -> "edit theme". Then I changed the global colours and expected all buttons, objects, texts etc. to change colours automatically after clicking apply.
It would be a huge time saver if this could work. Somehow it works, but I have to click the used object preset in the presets area again to apply.
Please make it work automatically. Saving the theme and changing all items in the theme is not an option. It would take a lot of work when…

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.

Save assets I use repeatedly
Have the ability "favorite" captivate assets and sort 'favorites' for faster and easier access. It's very time consuming to scroll through 800+ images in Captivate assets to find the same image I use on repeat.

Advanced Actions
Please allow us to create advanced actions. For instance, I need to be able to redirect a student who didn't pass the exam to the content. If they pass an exam, I need some JavaScript that will take them back to our LMS. This is impossible in the new Captivate - at least that I've found.

Bug: Hotspots move when changing the window size
If you change the window size, the hotspots move away from their fixed positions. If you repeat this behaviour, the hotspots move further and further outwards until they are no longer accessible.

CSV
Why do you not allow importing csv files for quizzes? I have 1000s of question and I have to manually input every single question? I will go w Thinkific solely for this reason. This new update is not helpful or useful and definitely not productive. I loved the old version.

Animation Bug.
There is a Bug with animations where only the first animation will work as designed and all other animations will just 'appear'. Animations will only work if they are all designed to start at once at the beginning of the timeline. Video example: https://www.loom.com/share/1051d5ae89fe4300ac216b03d343d522?sid=e1a84e82-0703-4ba8-8a4e-9a7eb12a50c3

when the screen size gets smaller the buttons will stack vertically even when there is enough sace for them to be side by side.
when you add a set of buttons they seem to act odd. it sometimes even seems to get the orientation mixed up.
I suggest giving us more control over the orientation of the buttons.

Allow the closed caption box to be moved and resized.
The current 2 options may cover content, especially for technical presentations where the slides may have more text, animations or graphics that need to be visible during CC.

Publish for Review Tool
It would be very helpful to be able to Publish for Review, that way I could send the course to SMEs and reviewers without having to upload to an LMS. I work for a large company, and uploads are a different team which adds 1 - 2 days. Something similar to the Storyline preview tool would be great.
