Status Flags
Allow status flags in the TOC again - it's great for our helpdesk people to troubleshoot users with issues completing modules - they can see if they've skipped anything. Right now flags show the first time through, but disappear after.

Duplicate conditions in interaction
When creating an interaction I often need multiple conditional decisions (only THEN) to cope with different situations. Often those dedicions are similar. Captivate Classic allows to duplicate a decision, and edit it. Example: I want to add an end slide to a quiz which is available in two languages. Multistate objects are used for a character and two texts, and there are 4 possible situations: Pass+language1, Fail+language1, Pass+language2, Fail+language2. That means 4 decisions in the interaction which are very similar. I cannot find out how to duplicate the decisions. Result: I have to do the same workflow 4 times from…

Improve Calibration for Software Simulation - Captivate 12.3
With Captivate 12.3 (Windows 11 laptop), when I prepare to do a software simulation and select Narration and then calibrate, the audio is so quiet, regardless of which microphone I use, that it's inaudible in the project. Suggest you add the ability to manually calibrate, or address this if it's a bug.

Transfer value system variable to user variable
It seems not to be possible to transfer the value of a system variable to a user variable, at least I have been trying without success. I want to show partial results of a quiz in a custom results slide (the default results slide has no Enter event). This means that I need to transfer the score obtained so far (Quiz.Score) to a user variable. There is a action Assign variable to variable but I am not able to indicate the quizzing system variable.

Touch screens
I know that Captivate Classic never has enabled the possibilities of touch screens, but for an application created from scratch, ignoring this is a pity. Why cannot I rearrange the actions in an interaction by dragging? The Up/Down arrow are not functional to rearrange the actions within one interaction. The old iPad app could use a touch screen, on my Surface Pro I only have difficulties within this new version. I can accept that for the canned templates and blocks, but not for something like actions in an interaction.

Translation Back/Next in Preferences
Preferences, Quizzing, Default labels give the opportunity to translate also labels for buttons (not all). Back/Next labels are there, and they are used during Review in all situations, but the translation is not applied. This means, that the developer needs to translate all buttons individually on each slide. Same is the case for all buttons on the Score slide. Since there is no On Enter event for that slide, nor the possibility to add custom states to the buttons you cannot use that score slide when you have question slides in multiple languages in one project. I really hope that…

Hint message???
In Preferences, Quizzing, Default Labels there is a 'Hint message' but after in-depth exploring this has no sense. There is no way to activate a Hint to appear, the multistate objects for the feedback messages during quizzing and Review do not have a Hint state at all. Moreover it is impossible to add custom states to any button, including the embedded buttons on quiz and score slides. I tried with multiple attempts on question level, where a hint would make sense from the second attempt, but situation is the same.

Editing Theme Fonts appears Broken
When I edit the theme fonts and select "other" after selecting my font, I get a white screen. If I close out of it and and reopen the theme editor, it reopens to that. If I then change my theme and attempt to edit it, it again goes to that white screen.
I have attached a short screenshare. Incase that doesn't work, here's a download link from dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/okruc67npsjsa8r6mfnao/Captivate-Error.mp4?rlkey=j3506e58znmkmul4x7f9orkir&dl=0

Roundtripping with Creative Cloud
Enable the roundtripping for the Creative Cloud programs that exist in Adobe Captivate Classic in the new Captivate version. Part of the appeal of Captivate Classic is the ease of use with the creative cloud. It would be great if new version had this feature too.

isabel.yeo@enlighten-opex.com
I've had learner feedback that the scroll bar to scroll down the screen goes away unless your mouse is on the screen. This means they are often disorientated as when they don't see the scroll bar they assume there is nothing to scroll down to.
The scroll bar should always display if there is a need, and not show at all if there is not a need. The colour should also have enough contrast for accessibility reasons.

Advanced VR Goggle Support
There are currently only two models of VR goggles with support (Samsung Gear VR + Google Daydream). Some of these models are difficult to obtain in Germany and only support certain smartphone brands or (sometimes outdated) models. For the educational context (360° tour, university library) and thus an extended use in new training formats, we would urgently like to see a broader support of several VR goggles models, so that the 360° environment in VR can also be used with several, especially newer smartphone models and independent of specific brands.

Combi characters not accepted anywhere
In previous versions this was a limitation for international users with a non-US keyboard only in widgets/learning interactions. But now it is the case for all text and this really bad. A combi character is where you need to use two keys to get the result, which is the case for most non-US keyboards needing a much larger set of characters. One example in Dutch: when two identical characters are in sequence but need to be pronounced both separately we need to put two points at its top (similar to the umlaut in German): 'creëren' has them on the second…

Combination characters in CSV replaced by Chinese characters
Dutch, like many other European languages has some combination characters. When I have the word 'creëren' in een CSV file, the two characters 'eë' after import are replaced by one chinese character. Too bad that I can't add a screenshot. I used Gill Sans as font. I am able to delete the chinese character, but there is no way to have the second ë with the double points on top appearing in any answer. This is a real important bug!

Confusing Error log after CSV import
Since there is no longer an Advanced Interaction panel to check the total score possible, I use the SUM functionality of Excel to calculate the total score in the score column. I had 7 questions, an empty line and than the sum. When importing the CSV both the empty line and the sum line are considered to be uncomplete questions and you get an error log with a lot of errors, whereas this is not important at all. It is nice that you can override the errors and import. However I imagine that this can be confusing. Not a game…

TRUE/FALSE translation in CSV not imported
I try to localise a quiz, and replaced TRUE/FALSE by its Dutch version, sometimes 'WAAR/ONWAAR' or JA/NEE'. However after import to a project, the default TRUE/FALSE replaces the translation. This is a bug. Even for English versions it is sometimes better to have other terms than TRUE/FALSE, depending on the question.

12.3.0 Branching pointing not working properly
I am using branching in 12.3.0 and it is not working properly. I have a button that I am using to advance to a next slide. When I preview the project, the button is navigating me the screen to the wrong slide even though it is pointing to the corrected on. I have inlcuded a screen recording that shows the interaction settings and the preveiw not working.
