Closed captions styling not applied to slide or all slides
It is incredibly tedious to change the font style and size on desktop, tablet and phone for EVERY caption typed on a slide. I type up my caption, change the sizes, hit Apply to this slide AND apply to all slides, then hit + to add another caption on the same slide and none of my changes are applied.
Please fix this or in the themes area have a way to style the Closed captions separately from other captions (feedback, etc.).
Thank you.

Quick Start Projects multiplying
Bug in version 12.3 which I installed yesterday.
I restarted the application today, and under Quick Start Projects several thumbnail images have been duplicated or multiplied. See the included image.1 vote -
Bug - Audio files in Asset Library
I am noticing that a good number of the default multimedia elements (audio files) are damaged that are included with the new version of Captivate. How do I open a ticket to have this investigated and resolved? When attempting to use various media files (not all however), I get the following message: "Audio Import Failed. Unable to import the audio file. Ensure that the file type is either MP3 or WAV. Also ensure that the file is not damaged."
Again, these are the included default files in the Asset Audio library (not my own or other that I am importing).

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 -
xapi publish and more tracking inside a course
We need an option to export to xapi format for cources. Additionally more possiblities to track user behavior inside the course would be appreciated.

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.

Issues with multiple languages
To translate a course the new version has lost a lot of features which were available in CP2019:
1. In CP2019 all used labels in Quizzes could be edited under the Quiz Preferences. Not only the Default labels, but also the Messages on the Score slide. Now some labels need to be translated using the Properties panel of the score slide.
2. I hope the Export/Import of Prefrences will once be restored and will have all those labels, not only those in the reduced Preferences in New Captivate, A modern application, should even do this automatically.
3. When CSV import…1 vote -
Buggy - Locking up & Unreliable
Captivate locks up frequently on me. Most recently, it locked up during save. When I went back into the program, it no longer had my project listed. The appropriate file within my documents opens captivate, but locks it up with the eternal wait circle. My project at this point seems non-retrievable and will need to be redone. I have to force quit the program. I am running Windows 10 Pro.

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.

Importing OAMs
Due to the 'renewed' terminology the word Animation is now used for the former Effects. However you'll never have the power of real animation tools in Captivate. I used to import OAMs created in Animate, and animated GIFs created either in Photoshop or in Animate. Please give use that feature back!

Add 360 image/video support to the new Captivate
360 image/video capabilities have become increasingly more important for me to create 360 tour walkthroughs for team members that are not near physical locations. It is the next best thing to being there.

Localisation quiz
There has not been any improvement to the localisation of quiz and score slides, on the contrary. Translation of the Default labels still has to be done manually which is weird for a new app in this world of AI. Moreover since you cannot export the Preferences, Default labels anymore, you have to repeat that translation for each project.
The Press 'Y' in the second step of the submit process should also be translated automatically when creating a project in another language than the language of Captivate.
In a modern application I would expect a choice for the project language…1 vote -
Classes for simulation bubbles / Texts / Objects
When editing simulation bubbles, every bubble needs to be adjusted one by one. There is the need for classes where I can set the design once and rollout these classes to every bubble in the simulation. Like in CPC the smartshapes objects and the format classes.

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.

Increase number of pages allowed in carousel widget
I would like to be able to add more than 6 pages/items to the carousel widget. I understand that the tabs and flip cards widgets are limited due to the required space to display the tabs/cards, but the carousel does not have the same limitation.
For example, we have a training with 8 core principles that would be great for learners to click through each principle via the carousel, but I cannot use this interaction currently due to the limit of 6.
Having a maximum of 10 or 12 seems more appropriate and flexible. Or if possible, do not set…

Fix text formatting bugs
It's great that there are three distinct text sizes for desktop/tablet/mobile. However, I believe there's a bug with the way these display.
If a text element contains formatted text (e.g. bold, italics), the break point for the size change seems to happen at a different time to the rest of the text.
For users, this manifests as seemingly random paragraphs or headings displaying as smaller/larger than the rest of the text (see screenshot, where all text shown has the same style settings in Captivate. The only difference is whether the paragraph contains any words in bold/italics.

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.
