Allow for cropped views of cutout characters in Asset Store
I was using the single and two-character media blocks and realized that I could not select a cropped view of the characters like I could in previous versions of Adobe Captivate. I know I can crop these images after but this was a nice feature.

layout change request - mobile view
On mobile the widget slider layout does not look user friendly. Navigational buttons should not appear left/right. Because there is no margin/padding Setting, there is no room left for customizing.

Quizzing Preferences
There is still a category Quizzing under Preferences. However some of the preferences have been moved to the Properties panel of the Results slide: Attempts on quiz level, Pass/Fail actions etc... They used to be in the Quizzing Preferences under Pass/Fail.
However you can build a 'Quiz' by using only scored objects (formerly labeled as Custom questions). In that case the Results slide is NOT added automatically and you don't have access to its Properties. It would be better to move Pass/Fail again to Quiz Preferences.3 votes -
Shortcut key Preferences
BUG: the shortcut key to open Preferences is CTRL-,
That shortcut key is NOT functional on any other keyboard than the US keyboard. Why not get back to the original shortcut key which always worked in previous versions: SHIFT-F8.
Using a punctuation mark in a shortcut key is always a bad idea, because its location is not fixed, depends on keyboard.
BTW I use an AZERTY keyboard, thanks for fixing the beta bug CTRL-Z.3 votes -
Quiz slide Multiple Choice, Multiple Answers, Partial scoring Penalty missing
BUG: there is no way to enter a penalty in this case.
You need to be able to add a negative score or a penalty to the wrong answers. Presently only the correct answers can get a positive score.1 vote -

When allowing for multiple attempts in drag and drop, provide a 'try again' caption.
Provide a ' try again ' caption when allowing for multiple attempts in drag and drop. Also when you have an initial attempt that is incorrect, provide the option to automatically reset the drag sources back to the original positions.

Bug - Short Answer question slide is broken if you include a quotation symbol " in your answer
I had a short answer question where the answer was "1"=20'" and I kept getting a "Something Went Wong" error. After recreating the question several time, I eventually started going one character at a time to see if there was an issue with the answer. As soon as I removed the quote symbol the question began to function as intended.

Edit transitions on Quiz buttons
For some reason when you select the submit button on a quiz you cannot edit the interaction to set up a transition. Well, at least not directly. I found that if you select the button and click back to one of your main slides and then select the interactions panel, when you return to the quiz, the interaction panel for the quiz button is open and you can edit it. You can then keep moving to the next slide and editing each one. This seems like a weird gatekeep for no reason, you should just be able to edit the…

You should be able to copy the appearance of buttons on quiz slides
You can copy the appearance of virtually anything on the main slides, with buttons being the most common in my case because I want to use a specific font, color, etc. But on the quiz you inexplicably cannot copy the appear of buttons and so now I have to manually set each Submit, View Answer, Back, and Next button on every Quiz slide individually which is a huge pain.

I hate the layout
I feel my hands are tied with this new version like something microsoft would make. You should have an advanced button that you have more control than a bunch of templates that you can hardly manipulate. Additionally, I'm surprised that you can't import your old work and have to use the classic version which will no longer exist after 2027. Its pointless to use the classic version so I will have to totally rebuild all my training programs. I don't know whos brain child this was but a total mess. Also the tutorials are awful get someone you can understand…

Add ability to add additional text block to image block.
Currently you can only have a caption and subtitle on the image block. It would be helpful to be able to insert additional text blocks. This would allow for you to do things like adjust the timing of each text block for bullets with audio narration.

Feature request: quiz component missing
Right now, including a working quiz is only possible by using a Quiz Slide. For one-page scrollable courses this somehow works by building it with components (paragraph, option box, button, reporting + including in quiz/points), but takes time and is limited.
More options are missing to share points and set correct answers easily.
It would be great to insert a “full quiz” interactive component, same as by inserting full quiz slides.

Bug: "include in quiz" function does not send any points to LMS
By unsing the "include in quiz" function with 1 point and setting export reporting to LMS to Quiz does not trigger any event in LMS. I noticed the setting "points for quiz" cannot be set to a number of points, just can be switched from points to percent.

Bug: button action "Exit course" does not work in Prime/ALM/other LMS
This behaviour is known since Captivate 2019. I think some LMS developers decided to protect their LMS from beeing closed entirely by this one button inside one web-based training. There were reports back in 2018 about Captivate 2017 and 2019 from customers who closed the WBT and simultanously their whole LMS window. We had to attach our own Javascript to "Quit course" buttons on a regular basis for many differnt LMS to protect our users.
Great, if you could find a solution to be able to use this action at all.
Thank you for all your efforts with bugfixing. We…8 votes -

Bug: Captivate chrashes when selecting the feedback of a clickbox in simulation mode
After recording a simulation, I wanted to format the feedback via status. Evertime I select the text in the feedeback and then click on "Text" in the properties (yellow marker, Bug1), Captivate chrashes (Bug2).
This always happens - both in existing and new projects.
I'm using version 12.0.0.2892 on Windows 10
