image optimization
Perhaps if you could add the ability to have the software optimize the images when publishing (set a max width and height or some type of way to measure it.) that would save space in the package - similar to powerpoint.

Hyperlink interaction
At this moment you can only create a hyperlink for a component, not for a selected word or text part. This means that you need to insert a text block for each hyperlink you want to insert. It is good practice to make that hyperlink visible to the user, which means applying a new text style. At this moment that is not happening automatically like in previous versions.
I would prefer to be able to attach an URL (or a file) to a word or a text part in a text and at least get the automatic underline. It would…21 votesFeature is available in 12.4.

Highlight option for Text in Themes
When creating a theme for texts, the highlight checkbox is not available. Could it mirror all text options?

Project Properties - Bug
I have noticed that the UI Components in Edit Theme will not allow me to select and change certain colors. I am unable to change button colors even if it is a preset color. Also, Edit Theme removes colors from my preset. All UI Components are experiencing issues customizing the colors.

Publish for Review Tool
It would be very helpful to be able to Publish for Review, that way I could send the course to SMEs and reviewers without having to upload to an LMS. I work for a large company, and uploads are a different team which adds 1 - 2 days. Something similar to the Storyline preview tool would be great.

Fix theme color selection - Bug Report
Issues with the color options in the Theme Editor - it doesn't actually show the color I select and when I click Apply, it shuts down completely.
I recorded a video to show what is happening.
This is the new Captivate - and just updated this morning.2 votes -
Control(Command)/Shift Select
If I have many blocks or slides I need to select to either copy or delete, I cannot control/command or shift select them to delete them all at once. With the slowness of the software (once you have thirty or more slides filled with blocks), this becomes a painstakingly slow task. It would be helpful to be able to select multiple slides or blocks at once.

Find and Replace
Like in previous versions of Adobe Captivate, a search for text and the ability to replace that text would be an essential feature in this application.

Languages for text to speech, windows language support.
In Classic Captivate its possible to add text to speech support for languages supported from Microsoft Windows own (local) library. That feature would be much needed i guess for a lot of people, and could be considered a quick fix for massive language support instead of having a Captive Voices implementation.

Be able to group slides together
I want the ability to group slides. In this use case, it would track different branches in scenario-based training. Still, thinking back to Captivate Classic, there are many reasons related to other features that would benefit users.

language of the project
In the accessibility panel, we can select a language for each block. For now, it need to be changed manually for each block. It would be useful to select the language by default in the project settings. As I develop french content, I need to change manually each block language.

animation triggered by the scroll position
Like in Elementor, it would be nice to have an animation triggerd by the scoll position. It would help keep the learners engage.

Animation on a block
It would be a time saver to be able to add an animation to a block. For now, only components of a block can have animation.
For example, if a block have a background, the block can't be animated.

But - Applying colors/fonts globally for all objects in project properties
I have built some slides including all possible objects and widgets using the previously set up colours in "project properties" -> "edit theme". Then I changed the global colours and expected all buttons, objects, texts etc. to change colours automatically after clicking apply.
It would be a huge time saver if this could work. Somehow it works, but I have to click the used object preset in the presets area again to apply.
Please make it work automatically. Saving the theme and changing all items in the theme is not an option. It would take a lot of work when…

Conditional or advanced interactions are slow and not very glanceable.
What was nice about Adobe Captivate Classic was that I could glance at the advanced action window and quickly determine the triggers and subsequent actions. The interactions panel hides much of its content, making it difficult to see the work that has already been performed and see what is yet to write. I want Captivate to display more details about what conditions and actions have already been performed.

Trigger actions for objects on other slides
I'm writing a conditional advanced interaction where I would be required to Show or hide a paragraph block on another slide depending on the value of a variable. I cannot reference this paragraph block because it's on another slide. This limitation means writing twice as many advanced interactions

Make the new software available for those with a Feature Restricted License
My company currently has FRLs until 2025 and when I asked our IT Team to download the all-new software, it's not actually available on an FRL just yet. Feels a bit unfair to say that if you've got a license you can get the new software when actually there's some small-print involved if you've got an FRL. Would love for FRL to be available for the all-new software so we can take advantage of it - feels like we're missing out.
