Configure UI to emulate PowerPoint
The Captivate UI is not terribly intuitive. The solution would be much easier to learn and implement if you revised the UI to emulate a tab style format similar to PowerPoint.

support for 4k monitors
In the next update cycle, please allow the application to support 4K monitors (at the least). Application window cannot maximize to full screen without manually stretching and certain menus and settings are also inaccessible as a result. Right now, it feels like I'm stuck in "2000 and late."

Need an easy way to edit the visual elements of question and answer slides
In Captivate 13.0, the UI lets you change fonts, colors, and other elements associated with question and answer slides. However, when you preview or publish, these adjustments are overridden by the CSS in the pre-defined Design Options. You can spend a lot of time making design adjustments that don't do anything.
While there appears to be a tech support article regarding editing the Design Option CSS and JSON files, we should not have to work at that level to simply make a visual change.
Also, many of the Design Options do not meet WCAG standards for contrast and accessibility, including…

Save before closing
Save Before Closing – “Ignorer” action in the French Version closes without saving
In the French version, when the “Save before closing” window appears, it offers three options: Ignorer, Annuler, and Enregistrer. These labels are confusing.
In French, “Ignorer” and “Annuler” both sound similar to Cancel. When we click “Ignorer”, we expect it to close the dialog box—just like Cancel—but instead it closes the project without saving.
To avoid confusion, you should rename the "gnorer" button to “Ne pas enregistrer” (“Don’t save”), as it was in Captivate Classic.2 votes -
Bug: Import PPT slides results in "Something went wrong." screen in 13.1.1 update.
From the Home screen, I select the Import> PowerPoint Import option. I select my PPT file, Captivate shows me all the slides and verifies the selected slide. I click "Import" and get an error screen. This is in the new 13.1.1 version.

Allow imported PPT slides to adjust to full screen 1920x1080 resolution to match full screen software simulations.
When I combine full screen simulations (1920x1080) with an imported PPT file, the simulation resolution pinches down to the smaller ppt (desktop) resolution. When I preview it, the simulation can no longer be viewed in full, it contains scroll bars in order to see the entire screen. When I try to import a ppt into a screen simulation, I receive a message that this cannot be completed. It is problematic.

Enable the image space to be adjustable.
Right now, there is dead space on top and bottom of the image added to the widget. If I add an image that is less height than that prescribed area, that space should be able to be reduced so reduce the dead space in the page.

Bug: Asked to save changes when no changes were made
When publishing a course as a SCORM file, an asterisk is added next to the file name indicating changes were made. When I try to close the file, it asks me to save my changes. What changes? I only published the course in a different format.

Allow the editing of answer options on MC question slides when the state selector is not set to Normal.
I have noticed that if I want to edit the text of answer options in a multiple choice question slide, the state selector must be set to Normal. If the state selector is set to any other state, the answer options cannot be edited.
Associated with that problem is that sometimes the text of an answer option on a multiple choice slide is different in the Normal and Hover states. This can happen if the question slide is duplicated for a new question. If the Hover state text is different (usually I want it to be the same text), I…

Add enable feature for rounded corner for images

Add text and shapes to Multistates and ability to create a multi state for any object
Cp Classic allows one to do this, but the multi-states in New Cp are extremely limited. In Classic, we used multistates to create our own questions with individualized feedback per answer. We are a tech-heavy company, and Multistates that allow text, shapes, images, and audio are a better solution for showing the parts of a piece of technology than any of the widgets can do.
This ability is essential to what we do in our organization. Please enable this ability in New Cp. thanks!

Slider widget
One request I would make is that on the new slider widget, it would be great if the learner had some sort of notification that their Submission had been accepted (and allowing the Submit button disabled state to be shown?).
Also, it would be ideal if the slider widget Submit button allowed more interactions than just ‘Play media’ – this could then allow a paragraph block for instance to open below to show confirmation of submission.

Bug - audio loading is delayed and then cuts off prematurely.
We are having problems when we have slide-level audio. It does not begin playing at the beginning of the timeline for the slide (appears to be a loading delay) and then once it does load, the audio will cut off prematurely because the slide has reached the end of its timeline. We have been able to do a workaround with extending the duration of the slide by a significant amount and then placing a button on the slide that the user can push to advance to the next slide without having to wait for the timeline to complete, but this…

Bug - new Stack Widget/Timeline 13.1.0
When de-selecting the previous and next buttons within the new Stack Widget, the correct button turns off on the canvas, but the opposite one is removed from the time line. It follows the setting within the timeline despite not showing. The removed button's timeline bar has no effect.
Project design for this widget does not require 'Previous' button as other controls later in slide, so my workaround is to re-enable 'Previous Button' set the timeline duration for 'Next Button', then deselect 'Previous Button' button.

Bug: Layer blur area under instructions
I have instructions and a blur area in my simulation, and if I move them to the same place the blur area covers the instructions. What would be the point of having instructions if I wanted them blurred? I can't think of a case where one wouldn't want the instructions to be on top of the blur area.

Bug: Make click box reflect actual settings in Captivate
When hand cursor is turned on, the area where the hand cursor appears is MUCH larger than the area assigned in Captivate. Also why did you remove the true square box to make the corners rounded? And why do I have no control over this? I can make it a star but I can't make it square? Please explain the rationale behind this.

Set default ai voice
I would like to be able to specify an AI voice as the default for all my new projects. And if I change the speaker during a project, then use that speaker until I ask to change from that speaker. At the moment every time I go to generate text to speech Captivate is defaulting back to the first voice in the catalogue.
