Quick Start Projects in 12.3
Some bugs:
Like in previous versions the error 'Missing fonts' which was already present in the first QSPs is still in those projects, even in the new ones.
You cannot start a project anymore from 'Features Quick Start Projects, only from the new option Featured Project.
I always believed that those projects could help with understanding Captivate. Why do they never have a description of the user variables?
I have not watch all projects so far, but I never did see an example of using the bookmarks? It is one of the unique new extended features, why is this not…1 vote -
have a way to share .cpt files between users (on the same VIP sharing package) that can sync so updates show to all users in real time.
Like Creative Cloud or OneDrive or Google Drive but for Captivate projects, so changes are automatically saved and available for other users when they open the file.

Keep Classic & Call this Something Else
I've been using this software since 2006 and I'm in shock at how many critical features are missing in this version of the software. I'm not even sure how you can call this Captivate. Providing feedback here is is basically adding to the list of features we need that were already available in the Classic version. We need software that is not focused on responsive design. Keep Classic and call this something else.

Resizing bug
I was using the demo to try to capture demo slides but the application itself would not resize. It cut tools off on the right side so the application became unusable If I used anything except for full screen. I cannot use this at all unfortunately :( No demo for me.
This happened after doing a capture however once the bug appeared it just happened even opening the app without a project.2 votes -
Ensure that Captivate will still function with iCloud sync of the Documents folder enabled.
Currently, if Mac users have iCloud sync of their Documents folder enabled, Captivate will not function properly. In particular, insertion of image blocks will fail with a message of “Something went wrong with content block insertion.” Users should not have to disable iCloud for Captivate to function.

Hand tool
The typical Adobe Hand tool is available in the new version of Captivate, however it is invisible. Using the space bar (similar to Photoshop and other Adobe tools) you can use it to navigate. It is much easier than the tiny scrollbars.
But its icon button is never visible. Why? How do you expect new users to learn about this tool?1 vote -
FOR THIS FEEDBACK WEBSITE - why do I need additional credentials?
I have all admin rights in the Global Admin Console and Admin Console, I suggest you to link those accounts to this portal. Also do I need one account for each "uservoice" product?
Adding an Other category and a category for Global Admin Console and Admin Console will also make sure to classify those requests better instead of getting lost under other products

FOR GLOBAL ADMIN CONSOLE AND ADMIN CONSOLE - Manage group administrators
Managing administrators in both Global Admin Console and Admin Console it is just a pain.
We can sync groups and you have the false impression that you can use the everywhere, where for Admins they have to be added manually in a list in the UI.I understand from your support that there are different layers of admins for product, but having separate groups for all or them it's also an option.
I'm not sure about other companies, but for the ones that just have a couple of people responsible for licenses and Adobe management they have all the admin…

Enable Feedback for Adobe Captivate Classic
Under "Give Feedback" is apart from Adobe Captivate also Adobe Captivate Classic listed. With 0 (zero) feedbacks. There I've tried to enter a new idea but it's not working. Why is that? CpC is scheduled to be active until 2027. Time enough for improvements. Please also add "Provide Feedback..." to the Help menu of CpC.

Zooming in should keep focus on selected item
This is an old pain inherited from previous versions. Default view percentage is 'Best Fit' which is great. But when increasing the percentage to focus on a detail (like a button) I tend to select that item first, and expect by zooming in that the selected item is kept in focus. That used to be the case until version 8 or 9, but was also lost in CP2019. It is very frustrating.

{Bug} Random duplication of variables
I created 5 variables to test out the new variable system. I created these variables on a single slide and assigned them to buttons.
I then began programming advanced actions with the buttons on the same slide and I realized there was an entire list of duplicated variables all from the initial 5 that were created.
I did not duplicate the buttons on this slide, nor did I duplicate the slide itself.
- The variables couldnt be deleted until I saved the file and reopened it.
