View multiple projects in tabs, not multiple windows
It seems so simple to have carried this over from Captivate Classic, but can we have multiple projects appear in one windows with tabs to switch among them? Currently, every project I open/create has its own Cp window that opens that I have to toggle through which is time-consuming and frustrating. You can't really tell what projects are by thumbnail. I would like this feature please. See image of how multiple open projects appear in classic.

Add guidelines for alignment and arrow keys for moving objects
I would like the guidelines to appear when I move objects/text so I can ensure I'm aligning them exactly where I want them. I understand that this was probably left out because of the default responsive projects, but in Classic I can move things around and guidelines will appear to ensure I'm aligning properly against my other elements. Further, in Classic, I can nudge items x and y using keyboard arrows. This gave me ultra precision. Then, the guideline would appear once I'd aligned one object with another. I don't want to keep fussing with manual x and y values

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."

Grouping
I want the ability to group select multiple media blocks to quickly move or cut and paste to a different location. I tend to lose my place when transitioning between slides when cutting content from one slide to the next.

Please add Advanced Interaction
I use it to check items included in the quiz and all the URLs. It would be great if there was a window where you could see all the URLs associated with buttons, links, and actions. You could also update the URLs in that window. I spend many hours every year checking and updating URLs in my projects.
If Adobe could have a URL forwarder for Captivate that we could use to maintain URLs outside of the LMS, it would be even better. I know that I can pay for a service like this, but it is cost prohibitive.

menus
Can you add everything back into menus? I just want to publish and what not, without having to find the right button on the screen. Just have menus with all the commands. People can ignore them if they want.

space bar plays/pauses
Unless we are actively editing text, can you make it so that whenever a timeline shows, the space bar plays/pauses? Please include the timeline for closed captions.

Show full slide name
Please show the entire slide name. I would say give the option of showing two lines on the list of slides. Even if you can do that though, please display two lines or more in the properties area on the right. It kills me that you have to click on the name to edit it, in order to use your arrow key to move around and read it.

Custome fonts not working
We recently created a course in Captivate 12 using custom fonts and published it as a SCORM package for the client. During the client's review, they flagged an issue, that the fonts did not appear correctly.
After meeting with the client, we discovered that the issue was due to the custom fonts not being installed on their system. While installing the fonts locally resolved the issue, this is not a sustainable solution, as the client's large user base cannot be expected to install these fonts individually.
The font ‘IBM Plex Sans’ is available on the Google Fonts site, but it’s…

Dark Mode for App UI
Please provide an option to change Captivate's UI between a light and dark mode. When wroking with dark slides, the brightness of the UI makes seeing details in the slides very difficult without previewing the project, thus increasing the time required to create content.

Allow customization of checkmark inside selected checkboxes
I appreciate that I can customize the fill color of a selected checkbox, but I cannot change the color of the checkmark that appears. In the uploaded example image, I made the fill for the box dark green to match branding, but I cannot make the checkmark appear white or light grey to make it visible on the dark fill color.

Integration of fonts.adobe.com for font selection
Please integrate the font selection of adobe fonts. As in CPC the fonts from font.adobe.com shall be usable in the font selection.
So the company CI must be fully applicable.
Of course when publishing a SCORM it needs to be implemented in the user view too, without the need to have the font installed at clients devices.

Film strip
When you click on a slide in the film strip can you apply a larger stroke to highlight the slide? It would make it easier to see what slide you are on.

Don't gray-out buttons when not disabled
When a UI button has grayed-out text, the assumption is that the button is disabled and not able to be clicked. The states button is grayed out by default and yet it's still clickable. This does not conform to the expected use of this UI design. Don't gray out a button that is clickable.

Option to disable show/hide the playbar when learner triple-taps a touchscreen.
When using a touchscreen device, a triple-tap shows the playbar even when playbar is disabled. Please allow an option to disable this function.

Fix problem where pasting from external program pastes text twice.
Pasting text from browser or acrobat pastes the text twice for some reason. Then I have to delete half of what is pasted. Why does it do this? Please fix this problem.

Change margins of text in carousel widget.
Without an image the text spreads across the screen, which is far to wide of a line length for on-text reading. If there is already a way to do this, please make it more obvious. I spent way longer than I should have before giving up. Honestly, it's a terrible design that you can only change these margins on some element. Don't even get me started elements have handles that don't do anything (resize). It's as though the developer have no concern for standardized user interfaces, which is what really makes things intuitive and easy. Why must we constantly click…
