Customizable playbar including skin themes... Similar to the classic version - You shouldn't have to go into an older version to be able to customize items.

Library
We need a library so that I can see all my assets in my project, including what I add. That way I can see what is used the most and what images are a large file size, that may need to be reduced for playability.

Reorder position of elements in blocks
We should be able to reorder the elements of a block (title, image, subtile, etc.) by drag and drop. Example: the title could come before an image.

Save Button
I would like to suggest a save button be physically present on the toolbar to make saving easy but also as a reminder to users to press it frequently.
30 votesHi All,
We are considering autosave feature. We already have ctrl+s to save the project.
Please let me know in case autosave feature will be more feasible rather than having save button on the top.

Change default formatting for objects
Unless I am missing something, there doesn't appear to be any way to change the default formatting for objects like Highlight boxes, Instruction boxes, etc. Or, to easily create multiple slides with consistant font formatting without manually choosing the same Preset (or custom preset). The Copy Appearance feature is not an acceptable replacement for that ability. I don't want to have to click dozens or hundreds of objects to copy formatting.

add a module for us to create a slide header/footer
for the usual logo/couple of links menu (in my case, Main Menu and Glossary) make it a module that the user can apply and not a required slide format. As it is, the 'image' module is useless for this purpose.

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.

Icons instead of images
In the flip card widget, it would be helpful to use icons as images. It would be a time saver.

Save changes to Theme without having to open Theme Builder
A huge time saver for me would be able to change the formating of an object, such as a heading or title, and right-click on the object and save that change to the Theme for the project. This way, all my titles could be instantly updated to reflect that change. Presently this is a cumbersome process.

Support multiple video playback control skins and features
Captivate Classic provides support for multiple self-hiding video playback control skins, such as Halo and Corona. It also provides "Auto Play" and "Auto Rewind" features for video that is embedded in a slide. We would like to see these features added to Captivate 2023.

Support web-based video streaming services using web objects and iframes.
We currently use iframes in a web object on a slide in Captivate Classic to stream video from an enterprise video streaming service called Vbrick (www.vbrick.com). We would like to see this supported in Captivate 2023.

Ability to drag the audio in and have a library you can reference it from
Not being able to import multiple slides of audio at once is really slowing our processes down. Please bring back the ability to import more than one file at once and to have a library where they can all be viewed at so that we can get rid of any extras that we don't need to decrease file sizes.

Additional Instruction Box shapes, settings in Software Simulation.
It would be good to be able to have different shapes for the instructions boxes like in 2019 with arrows, etc. Also beneficial to be able to set default box settings (box shape, color, border, shadow, text font and size). Setting the arrow throughout is nice, but would be similarly nice to do so for the instruction box settings and text settings.

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.

Feature request: Saving design options for components and widgets
Would be great to save own design options for components and widgets. Also importing/exporting would be helpful to share with customers and team mates. After styling a widget I cannot simplychange the layout without loosing several changes made earlier.

ppt and pptx import features
Most teachers design using PPT and PPTX, so does instructional designers. So it would be ideal if you could import PPT and PPTX files to Captivate.
