Enable us to move images to the location of our choice on the slide. Also, allow us to stack or overlap images on top of one another.
Currently, you have limited control over where an image is placed on the screen. For example, I was attempting to place our company logo in the lower right side of the screen, but could not do this. I would also like to be able to add an image on top of another image. For example, I might like to have a check mark appear over another image at a certain point during the narration.

Add shapes and text boxes.
We utilize shapes and text boxes frequently in Captivate Classic. These seem to be missing from the new version of Captivate.

More than one checkbox
I'm not sure why the Checkbox interaction only allows for one checkbox. It would be helpful not to add another block for additional checkboxes. Instead, selecting the number of checkboxes I wish to include in the block would be helpful, similar to how I would do it with radio buttons.

All animations are buggy
When using animations for text options, they are extremely buggy. On a 15 slide training about 10% of the animations caused text to just not show up when looking at it with local preview. When the animations were removed, it worked fine. Sometimes animations would make a slide not even appear. It seems to be consistent with multiple animations.
Also when using animations, sometimes all the elements will show as the slide loads for a quick frame and then disapear. When not using animations this does not seem to happen.
When animation bulleted text with spaces between the bullets, the…

CCs in widgets
Allow for CCs when using audio attached to widgets or multistate objects. Much of the allure and design functionality in captivate is not usable if you need closed captioning for accessability--WHICH IS ALMOST EVERY eLEARNING DEVELOPER!!! We're limited to just the basic blocks which have less functionality than a wordpress page from 2010!!!

Allow audio to be attached to every widget object
There are several widgets that do not allow audio files to be attached: cards, hotspots, tabs, click to reveal. It seems pretty fundamental that you would want to allow an audio file to play when you click a tab or a hotspot...please add that functionality. Thank you!

Increase number of pages allowed in carousel widget
I would like to be able to add more than 6 pages/items to the carousel widget. I understand that the tabs and flip cards widgets are limited due to the required space to display the tabs/cards, but the carousel does not have the same limitation.
For example, we have a training with 8 core principles that would be great for learners to click through each principle via the carousel, but I cannot use this interaction currently due to the limit of 6.
Having a maximum of 10 or 12 seems more appropriate and flexible. Or if possible, do not set…

Allow images to be moved anywhere on screen and then allow interactive elements to sit next to them
Currently, I can not have an image on the left and an interactive question or dropdown on the right - I can only have text and the interactive element shows under everything. These elements should be able to be next to each other.

Rearranging states - change default state
I would like to be able to rearrange the sequence of the states, or have a copy/paste possibility. At this moment only the duplicate (CTRL-D) is available but the duplicates cannot be moved. Since I have a touch screen I would prefer to be able to use the touch feature, but can live with using the mouse or trackpad as well.
Moreover it would be great to be able to choose another default state than the first one created. I solve that at this moment by using an interaction triggered by the On Enter slide event, but since there are…3 votes -
Control the size of an icon inside a button or hotspot
Need full control over the size of an icon inside a button(except S/M/L). You can only control the size of the button/padding arround it.
Need full control over size of button. S/M/L is not enough.
Need full customisation of buttons via import of SVGs, not just the icon inside the button. (This can be achieved by inserting an SVG and making it interactive but being able to create and save new buttons would be much better UX.)

More than 4 SVGs in a content block
Just like you should be able to add more than 3 buttons you should be able to add more than 4 SVGs to a content block.

Align slide directions with direction of step being taken
When a user click in the forward direction it makes sense to have a default slide direction with the next slide coming from the right. But when they click in the backwards direction, it is visually confusing to have a previous slide arrive from the same (future) direction.
Like turning pages in a book, going back should not look the same as going forward.3 votes -
ProjectLockTOC not functional
That system variable used to be able to block all navigation by TOC. However when assigning the value True to it, the learner is still allowed to navigate to any slide.

Importing OAMs
Due to the 'renewed' terminology the word Animation is now used for the former Effects. However you'll never have the power of real animation tools in Captivate. I used to import OAMs created in Animate, and animated GIFs created either in Photoshop or in Animate. Please give use that feature back!

automatic captions
Generate captions automatically for audio narration just like in Premiere Pro. I'd prefer to edit the typos than have to MANUALLY type every work of the narration. This is so tedious and minor changes often require re-timing the captions several times during a project.
Please talk to each other inside Adobe and figure out how to do this in Captivate. Thank you!

Flip Cards need to allow rearranging of order
The flip card widget needs to allow the user to drag cards to rearrange the order. I am having to rebuild the page, when I should be able to grab one card in my row of 3 and reposition it.

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?
