Slide navigation issue
If my parent slide is longer than a single slide, when I navigate from an overlay slide back to the parent slide, it jumps all the way to the top of the slide. This causes frustration as the learner now has to scroll all the way to where they left off just to continue the content.
On the other hand, when navigating from one slide to the next slide, the next slide opens at the bottom of the slide.For slide-to-slide navigation, it should always start at the top and for overlay-to-parent it should resume where the learner left off.

Set maximum time limit for quiz
Need a maximum time limit and corresponding author-settable message for the quiz. This should be a setting in Preferences > Quizzing > General. It would be great if you could also set a warning time limit and message to warn the learner that time is almost up. For example:
Maximum Quiz Time Limit: 120 minutes
Message: Maximum quiz time has been reached. The quiz is ended.Quiz Warning Time: 110 minutes
Message: You have 10 minutes remaining to complete the quiz.1 vote -
Hint message???
In Preferences, Quizzing, Default Labels there is a 'Hint message' but after in-depth exploring this has no sense. There is no way to activate a Hint to appear, the multistate objects for the feedback messages during quizzing and Review do not have a Hint state at all. Moreover it is impossible to add custom states to any button, including the embedded buttons on quiz and score slides. I tried with multiple attempts on question level, where a hint would make sense from the second attempt, but situation is the same.

Bug: Web Links are not working on a text block
Create a text block. Enter a web link in the properties. After clicking off the text box and clicking back, your web link is gone. If you enter a web link and don't click off the text box, clicking preview produces no links.

Adjust slide appearance for imported question pools
I have a comprehensive exam with 17 question pools and 350 total questions. When you import into a question pool, Captivate does not use a master slide. There is no way to adjust the Correct and Incorrect states font and text color for all the question slides in a pool. If there was a master slide associated with the imported pool, the appearance of those states could be edited in the master and applied to all the questions in the pool. Alternatively, allow states to be copied and applied to an entire question pool or to all selected slides.

Reorder position of elements in blocks
We should be able to reorder the elements of a block (title, image, subtile, etc.) by drag and drop. Example: the title could come before an image.

Allow the Project.CurrentSlideNumber var to be Adjusted or assigned for branching
Our courses require users to jump to certain sections and we would like to be able to adjust the Slide # to the section they are viewing - Each section starting at 1.

Right click on block and select move to reposition
Sometimes, selecting and moving blocks to other positions is challenging, especially when you want to move a block to the end of a slide. It would be helpful to right-click on an empty area of a block, select Move, and then use the keyboard cursor arrows to move a block up or down.

Character block not displaying characters as expected
I used the character block with the standard design option. Added my own images and the result when previewed isn't what it looked like in design mode. I would love to know what I've done wrong.

make preview match what I see in Captivate
When I am creating slides in Captivate and go to preview them, often what I see on the preview is different than what i see on the main Captivate screen. This is extremely frustrating. See attached pics. Why are they different?

Deprecation of JavaScript "unload" event
we have received the following notice from one of our partners:
I am reaching out regarding the upcoming deprecation of the JavaScript “unload” event in Chromium-based browsers, including Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. This change is expected to be fully enforced by Q2 2025 and may impact the functionality of SCORM content hosted on our platform. As part of this deprecation, content that relies on the "unload" event for bookmarking, course completion, or other interactions may no longer function as expected. To prevent any disruption, we kindly request that you review and update your content to replace the unload event…

add the ability to add audio to widgets/tabs or custom interactions to their buttons
widgets do not allow different audio on different tabs or custom interactions when the buttons are pressed. Example: a carousel with steps on different tabs should play audio for step 1 when viewing step 1, on clicking step 2, i want to hear audio for step 2 and so on. For hotspot buttons, young learners, should be able to hear the name of each part separately when they click on the different parts. on click interaction for hotspot buttons, carousel, and all widgets will make them more usable.

Share for Review Show Slide Number for Quick and Easy Revisions
In the Share for Review feature, it would be helpful to know what slide number a reviewer comments on so developers can navigate quickly to that slide. Many eLearning modules have slides that look the same, especially question slides, so knowing the slide number would be helpful.

Create a java script or interaction that will rewind audio. When attaching audio to a slide, the learner cannot rewind the audio.
Currently, it is possible to use JavaScript to create a button to rewind video files within the captivate project, however, there is no similar functionality available for audio files attached to slides. This limitation impacts the learner's ability to revisit specific parts of the audio content.
I recommend adding an option under the interactions section or as part of the timeline settings that enables users to rewind audio attached to a slide. This feature could allow creators to configure rewind increments of 5, 10, and/or 15 seconds(or provide custom intervals). This functionality would make it easier to review the content…

Add an image to the Question stem
I can't believe there in no option to have an image as part of the question stem. You can add them to the answers but that is not what I want.

Buttons are not taking the correct Breakpoints for responsiveness
I created a quiz with multiple choice questions. Uploaded it to the Adobe ALM. Tested it in Safari on an ipad PRO and the buttons are not displaying properly in landscape mode.

Ability to adjust size of a button
Right now, the only way to adjust the width of a button is by adding spaces to the text. It would be much better to be able to define a width, possibly a similar way the Alignment and Spacing of a block is handled. Also the space between buttons should be adjustable.

Check for update
In Adobe Captivate, the only way to check the version and/or see if there is an update is to create a new project; or open a new project. It would be nice to be able to do the same in the home screen.

Two buttons but showing three in interaction properties inspector
One of my slides has two buttons on the display, but three are showing in the interactions properties inspector. This seems like a bug to me. When I try to interact with this mystery button, Captivate crashes.
