Color opacity
An option to choose the color opacity should be available. The one in Figma is particularly efficient.

Customize Default Preset
In all previous releases of Captivate it was possible to define another object style as Default. In this version it is impossible to set another Preset as default. That creates a lot of extra clicking when you want to use the same Preset consistently throughout a project. For texts you can edit the default style, but for other Presets like images that is not possible.

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.

Bug: Can't remove button text
Select any button that contains text. Double-click / highlight the text and press DELETE or otherwise attempt to delete the text. Click off the button. Text returns. The only way to remove text from the buttons - but it affects the size of the button and isn't the desired solution here - is to uncheck the text option in properties

Direct access to the Assets
That feature existed in previous versions. Now you can only access all assets from the popup when inserting an item which can use an asset and click on Assets. As already asked since Assets panel were introduced: allow to add personal assets. I often use Adobe stock for all Adobe applications but since we still have no access to the CC Libraries...sighing

Restore Control Movie variables
The Control Movie variables were the ones I used most of all system variables and they are completely gone. This is a big step backwards. Even for the very simple Boolean ones (CC, TOC hide/show)..

Create a process widget
Create a process widget. It would be great to have a process widget. The old version was a circle which is nice, but there could also be a horizontal option that shows a process for instances that do not repeat themselves in a cycle.

Bug: Activating Skip button in Quiz Preferences is not functional
;The only way to have a Skip button on quiz slides is to do it manually on each slide. In older versions it was possible to set it once in the Quiz Preferences, and it could only be overruled by an individual slide setting. Now it is not possible to have it globally

Hover state Image on quiz slide
Great that you can use images as answers. But something is wrong with the Hover state of those images. I dsiabled that state but it appears automatically after selection of an answer and submitting that answer, even if not hovering over the image. Even i manage to change the colors of the Hover state to be the same as in the Default state, the original Hover state will appear after submitting.

Playbar covers content
If you set the feedback of a question slide to appear at the bottom, the Playbar covers the content. How did this EVER pass a QA review?

Issue: Buttons, fonts, colors must be set before production
Buttons, fonts, colors set in the design must be set before starting the project, otherwise they are not updated. Can this be changed, so any later changes during production would be updated directly in all assets and presets.

Quiz Slide Enter trigger: restore please!
In all previous versions it was possible to use the On Enter event of a quiz slide as trigger. Not the On Exit, because that functionality was taken over by the Success/Last Attempt actions.
I use this event all the time in Captivate Classic. It is even more needed in the new version, due to the many required workarounds. One example:
I have answered already multiple times the request to get rid of the feedback messages in the New version on quiz slides. It is a lot of trouble compared with Captivate Classic, by making the states in the multistate…2 votes -
Bring back the Slide Notes feature
We use the Slide Notes feature often in Adobe Classic to add notes, things to remember, and our audio script. It would be a very helpful feature to add to this newest version.
