Allow for closed captions when video is playing full screen.
When in full screen mode that can be accessed from the "Grid" style Video Media block, the closed captions are not visible. Additionally, a "CC" toggle button should be available on the default controls of the full screen.

Provide regular updates
Please update your users on the future features of the new Captivate and the life span of Captivate Classic. Currently the new Captivate does not come close to meeting our eLearning development needs. With the news that Captivate Classic will not be supported after 2025, we are feeling the need to switch our authoring tool. If I knew what features were going to be available in the new version, I might stay.

Software Sim background record issue
When I record a software sim, regardless of if it's demo, assessment or training, the actual application I'm trying to record (a web based app in Chrome, but true for any app) does not get recorded. Instead, I see only my desktop background image (in my case, mountains with grasses and trees). The click boxes and instructions/text captions appear in the right spots, just not the actual application. See attached screenshot to see what I mean.
I found threads for a similar problem long ago in Captivate Classic, the solution being to make sure you are running as an admin....…

Bring back the ability to embed content with IFRAMES. We still need this capability.
Removing the ability to embed web objects has really caused us problems. We need this functionality. We need to be able to embed documents from remote sources so that they always reflect the most current version of a policy, in this particular use case.

allow placement of carousel widget next to text box
I need the carousel to be next to text, not above or below. Images need to be viewed at the same time as the text is being read (not the same text as the figure caption). I also need much more images than the limited 6 (at least 15).

closed captions
I'm finding that closed captions are sometimes delayed and therefore out of sync with narration or video depending on load times. For example, I have a slide where there is a single asynchronous video and some slide narration. The slide narration takes some time to load and the closed captions are running faster than the narration. Same thing for the video captions. Also not always in synch. I think the slide should not start playing until all the multi media is loaded so that captions, audio and video are always in sync.

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.

Tabs/buttons initial state
Maybe I'm missing something, but I am not able to initially set the first (or any) tab to "selected". In preview or published, it shows the content of the first tab, but there's no indication what tab it belongs to.
This goes for regular buttons as well - how can I set the initial state to something other than default?

Adjust dimensions of tabs manually
Currently the tabs automatically adjust their width or height depending on the content area. Especially with the tabs stacked on the side this can be quite annoying, as they change position when they adjust their size. It can also be quite ugly, design-wise. I would like to be able to set a fixed height on the tabs.

Recording from within a project should have all three options for recording.
Currently recording simulation from within a project gives you radio buttons, therefore you can not record the demo, training, and assessment at the same time. This is useful if you have build up some knowledge slides then you wanted to add a software simulation as a demo and training for example.

Quiz TOC checkmarks depending on right/wrong answer
Previously, we used Adobe Presenter, where the TOC indicated by different symbols whether the answer to a quiz question was right or wrong.
In Captivate 12.3.0.12 (German version, Windows), the TOC displays a green "passed" checkmark if the slide has been seen, even if the recorded answer is wrong.
Please let checkmarks be configurable - or at least display an appropriate checkmark (red "x" or similar) for all quiz slides with a wrong answer.1 vote -
Certificate download file size and missing "save as" option
The "Download" button saves a file with fixed name "captivate-certificate-[n].pdf" with an index n.
1. ICan the user please be prompted with a system dialog to save with a file name and to a location of his/her choice?
2. The PDF contains a rasterized image of poor quality (see text sample attached) but astonishing size (~5 MB). Can the file please be configured to be as small as possible, with a printable text quality as fitting for a respectable certificate?1 vote -

redo the click to reveal slides. Every time I change a picture on there, it tells me "something went wrong!" in the preview and I have to redo the entire slide. This is not sustainable. Please fix.

Add a pause button option
Please add the ability to easily add a PLAY/PAUSE button option in variables or slide interactions AND add the option into the TOC. The reason I am asking for BOTH options is that when I have a course that requires learners to view all slides, I need to turn off TOC because it currently allows learners to skip ahead/bypass slides so I need the ability to easily create a button/action allowing learners to pause play on any individual slide. (If I am missing something or there is an easy way to create the button/action - please share!)

Web Object Missing
I see the web object component is missing in this new Captivate version. It is a critical component to add ifarme videos and other web interactivities. When can we expect web object component in the new Adobe Captivate version?

incorrect remediation sound missing from the asset library of sounds
put the old sounds from captivate 2019 into captivate 12. "electronic tink" sound file is also missing from the captivate 12 asset library compared to captivate 2019.
Also there is a bug on mac computer sonoma where sometimes when you go to asset and look through the sound choices in the asset library, they won't play. Also I can't see a way to add remediation sounds to the remediation states without doing it one by one for each quiz slide.

Change the color of the selected indicator on carousel widget
I am not able to change the selected color of the indicator on a carousel. I can change the unselected color, but the selected is always this blue. It would be great if I could change it according to my theme. Changing the theme colors had no effect.

change the hand cursor placement so it is over the click box, not instruction box
When taking a course that includes a Training software simulation, the cursor changes to a hand when the learner hovers over the Instruction caption but not the click box. I don't see a way to change this, or just remove the hand cursor from appearing over the Instruction caption.
