Allow the Timeline to be moved away from the stage to make screen management easier.
In previous versions of Captivate, I was able to grab the timeline and place it anywhere I wanted on my monitors. I could then see the stage and timeline all at once. It was much more efficient.

SCORMCloud
In Adobe Captivate Classic there was an extremely useful feature that allowed you to preview courses in SCORMCloud. Not only was this useful for testing, but it could also assist in confirming that interactive data was being reported on. I would very much appreciate this feature being reintroduced into Captivate 12.

Click box interaction
I really miss smart shapes and being able to put click boxes wherever I want on slides that are 'regular' slides, not software sim slides. For instance, if you have a map and want to make parts of the map clickable.
Hotspots are OK , you can change the opacity to 0 and have an invisible area to click... but I can't add an action to it to do something like take a user to another slide.
As a workaround I use a software simulation slide and change the background image. Then I add click boxes for the areas I…

Simulation highlight boxes in theme editor
It would be very helpful to have simulation elements design properties be added to the theme editor so that they do not need to be manually changed in each project. I believe this was a feature in Captivate classic.

Knowledge check slide icon
I really miss the little icon that would display in the filmstrip under knowledge check slides. It was great to be able to tell at a glance which question slides were KCs and which were graded. I feel like I have to go to each slide and check in the property inspector now, which takes more time.

add layering text on top of images and images on top of text.
I wanted to layer text on top of an image but for the text be more formatted to the right of the image. Even with the workaround and padding, I cannot get my text to the far right of the image.

CSV import - numerical character issue
Can't import CSV files if any of the cells START with numerical characters. In order for the import to work, I have to add alphabetical characters in front of the numerical ones. I then have to go clean up the quiz questions in Captivate and remove those letters. It's time consuming and allows for unnecessary errors.

Open URL or File Incompatible with Share for Review
When I have buttons that open a PDF file using the Open URL or File action, my PDF isn't published with Share for Review. This adds steps to my Share for Review workflow that I prefer I would not have to do.

Out of tries message on results slide
The results slide only shows feedback for success or failure. Since you can limit the number of attempts a student can try the quiz, I would like to have an Out of Tries type message that would be triggered when the student has used up their attempts and failed the last attempt at the quiz. This way, I can write something like please see your supervisor for the next steps. I have a workaround, but I always prefer Adobe Captivate to have the built-in functionality. It makes development much more effortless. Here is the workaround: https://youtu.be/6Z-bU8DXlu4

Restrict Navigation until Slide End
Many stakeholders request that navigation be turned off until the slide/audio completes, i.e., forced navigation. In order to accomplish this currently, I have to either create my own navigation buttons or hide the playbar upon slide enter and show it at the end of the slide. The latter option isn't feasible because users can no longer toggle closed caption on/off while audio is playing. Both workaround options are time consuming.
I propose adding a feature that allows the developer to disable only the forward button (not the entire playbar) until the slide audio completes.

Ability to undock panels.
Would like the ability to undock and move the timeline panel, or any panel, to a custom location on my screen or to a separate display. Currently, I can only view Captivate on one monitor and when the timeline is expanded I lose a lot of screen real estate. In Cp Classic, I could undock and move the timeline, library, and many other panels wherever I wanted and save that layout for future projects.

Overlay text over an image - image over image placement
It is nice to overlay images with texts. e.g. to number pictures or putting adding a text to a picture like the Smartforms in CPC.
Placing Text over a picture will help in several cases to have a better user guidance.
Additionally image over image might help too. E.g a printscreen of a software and putting 1. 2. 3 above the screen according to the audio instruction.3 votes -
buttons stacked?
It's nice to have 10 buttons in one block now in Cp 12.4, but why can't I stack them vertically? If I want several buttons underneath each other, I still have to add one block per one button. Very time consuming and unnecessary.

Align text and button horizontally
I'm not sure if it's a bug, but I've been trying to get a line of text and a button aligned horizontally (text with button NEXT to it, NOT underneath). It's impossible. Even with a design template that shows horizontal alignment (see screenshot) - it just doesn't work. This is really frustrating; it's such a simple thing but impossible in Cp 12 (I have the latest 12.4).

Next Slide or Go To Slide will transition to slide starting at the bottom of the content rather than the top
I am using a custom button to advance to the next slide or go to another slide with "none" transition/animation. When you click the button, the next slide starts at the bottom of the content, rather than starting at the top (beginning) of the next slide. It is important to note that these slides have some scrolling as the content doesn't fit within the regular slide dimensions and vertical length is a bit longer. Please see attached video example.
