This new version is no where compare to Classic Captivate and now voted suggestion may take decade to be par with CPC
A new version should retain all the features of the old one while also introducing meaningful enhancements. However, the new CP still falls far short of CPC. The development team may not fully understand which CPC features users rely on, and some basic options have been removed entirely. For example, adding a simple text box now requires inserting an entire block, with limited editing options that are locked within a group. In addition, the new CP crashes too often. If every missing feature must go through a suggestion and voting process before the development team prioritizes it, it could take…

Custom Completion Certificate Filename
It would be helpful to have the ability to set a custom download name for the certificate file instead of using the default “Captivate Certificate.” Many users aren’t tech‑savvy, and renaming downloaded files can be challenging. Allowing authors to define a filename that matches the course title would make the process much more user‑friendly.

Being able to add to the number of checkbox rows within interactive components
As seen in the 2 attached screenshots, there is no way to add/increase the number of checkboxes (as an interactive component) for use in a checklist type of a scenario. Currently multiple separate checkbox components will need to be created for a workaround which is a lengthy process as spacings need to be changed.

Make it easier to change AI-generated voiceover word pronunciation
I'm finding it difficult to get the text-to-speech to pronounce certain words correctly. Currently, I want it to say "lead" (the metal - rhymes with "bed"), but the AI-generated voice will only pronounce it "lead" (to guide, rhymes with "seed"). When I type in "led" to try and correct this, the voiceover spells it out (as in, "LED" light). Is there a way to adjust the pronunciation? If not, this would be a helpful feature.

Mouse Properties - Size Apply to all slides
In Classic I could amend my mouse properties so that a mouse click only lasted for 1 second and was a straight path and I always positioned at the first part of every slide to make editing a lot easier and then I would apply to all slides - can we please have this feature in New Captivate - otherwise it makes editing ten times as long without it

Export slides to PDF
Please add a function that allows a Captivate project to be exported to PDF. Articulate does this and it is very helpful for leverating generative AI for grammar and spell checks.

Slide Customization
While the slide and widget templates are helpful, it would also be useful to allow for customization of blank slides. This allows the designer to create custom layouts much as Articulate Storyline does

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.

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.

Certificate widget exits the slide unexpectedly
I have a certificate widget on the last slide of my project. The Certificate Download is toggled ON. I have noticed on several occasions that when I try to click the Certificate Download icon in the top right of the certificate, the project exits and completes the exit action specified in the Preferences > Project > Project End, before I can click on the Certificate Download icon. I have added two buttons below the certificate widget, and the expected behavior is that I have all the time I need to click the Certificate Download icon, and then click one of…

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…

Fix the closed captioning button on the playbar
On slides containing videos with captions, the closed captioning button on the playbar grays out and users cannot turn the captions on or off. However, the button works normally on slides that contain only narration with captions and not videos. For more context, imagine slide 1 contains narration with captions (no video), and a user clicks the CC button to turn the captions on. The user then goes to slide 2, where there’s a video with captions. Those captions also appear, but the user cannot turn them off because the CC button is grayed out. Any assistance you could offer…

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.

During import, some Classic slides don't import or import with nothing on them.
During import, some Classic slides don't import or seemingly import with nothing on them. This is most likely due to unsupported objects on the Classic slides. It would be nice if at least a truly blank slide was created with the slide name of the "deleted" slides, so we know that we need to recreate that slide and can do so immediately. On empty imported slides that had unsupported objects, it appears that we cannot preview the lesson with these. In fact, when we try to edit the slide, the lesson often freezes and closes. So, the current fix is…

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.
