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.1 vote -
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.

Need ability to normalize audio for an entire project at once
I calibrated my microphone but the resulting audio on a simulation project was much too quiet. I want to normalize the whole project at once, not one slide at a time. I watched this video for Classic and can't seem to find parallel menus in the New Captivate. https://youtu.be/cCGwh78J3-U?si=XgXmBqghTNFaLFD5

Add an Advanced Actions Description Field
Please add a description field to the Advanced Actions window, where we can type a brief description of what the advanced action does, expected outcomes, etc. This would be especially helpful when working in teams.

Review Multiple-Choice Question slides properties when copied and modified from single-choice to multi-choice
In Classic Captivate, for a Multiple Choice (single-choice) question slide, we were able to copy it, modify to (multi-choice) select the correct multiple answers and it would work fine. Now, that is not how it works. When duplicated from single-choice type, modified to multiple answers - the duplicate inherits the single-choice type answer and cannot be changed. Not desirable.

Add pause to a triggered object audio
I would love to see a pause method added to a triggered object audio. So, for instance, if a button has audio assigned to it (via Play Media, not slide audio), then clicking the button would play the audio, clicking again would pause the audio, clicking the button again would restart the audio from where it was paused, and so on.

Allow custom Buttons in UI Theme to flow to a text button changed to an arrow button
Currently, in a custom theme's UI components text "buttons" with corporate colors (each state) do not flow to icon buttons (forward / backward arrows) Only the default color scheme flows to the arrow buttons. When producing content for multiple languages, text buttons are not suitable. Arrow buttons should inherit the theme colors of text buttons from UI Components.

Display Time Limit for question slides
The ability to add a time limit per question slides is great, however it would be nice to display this countdown timer to learners so they can gauge how much time they have left. Is there a system variable that could be displayed or other method to achieve this?

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.
