Reinstate Timing panel for component animation
Using the drag feature on the timeline to stagger entrances is not user-friendly at all. I'd really like to see the same usability we have in Classic, where you select a component and can fine-tune both the timing and animation in the same panel. These functions are linked 90% of the time, so there's no reason why you should have to go to different panels to design animation and component timing.

Play head on timeline always jumps to the right side.
When I want something to appear on the stage and in sync with the audio I use the timeline. However every time I play the time line it jumps to the far right and makes it difficult to see the time and when I want a paragraph to appear on the stage. If the play head is in the middle of the timeline and I press play it should play from the middle of the timeline. But it immediately jumps to the far right and then makes everything difficult to time things on the stage. All other applications I have…

Add A "Set Focus" option to Button Actions
If I do a validation check on a text box when the user clicks a "Continue" button I created, and the validation I have setup fails, I want to set focus back on to my text box, however there is no option to do that.

Course Crashes when pasting formatted text into a text box
I have a lesson on AI that asks the user to paste the results into the text box to verify they completed the task. When a user clicks the "Copy" button at the bottom of ChatGPT and tries to paste that into a Captivate textbox, the course crashes. The text box should only allow "plain text" to paste and remove any formatting - or add a rich text box which would allow for additional formatting to be pasted.

Share for Review
When Reviewing a shared lesson, the comments should have an indicator of where the comment is being made. If the slide has multiple media blocks or text blocks, the indicator will allow the reviewer to pinpoint where their recommendations should be made. The current method works only when commenting on the overall status of the slide, but if only some of the information needs to be corrected, the developer would need to search through all the content to find where the reviewer saw the mistake.

Text formatting is off after importing translated caption and closed caption word file
The import of translated caption and closed caption word file is not helping my purpose, as the font size, color and formatting are going off. Especially if I have a text box with two words in two different font size/style/color.

Drag and Drop - Show the correct answers after last attempt.
At present there is no option to show the correct answers or correct drop areas of the drop boxes. It is not always feasible to show them through text in feedback.

Grouping
I want the ability to group select multiple media blocks to quickly move or cut and paste to a different location. I tend to lose my place when transitioning between slides when cutting content from one slide to the next.

match column question
It would be essential to be able to turn off the shuffle feature on the dropdowns for match column questions.

Allow users to change the properties of a click box within an interaction. To make accessible, keyboard users need a visible focus area
Allow users to change the properties of a click box within an interaction. To make a click box accessible, it needs to have a visible focus area (high contrast) to indicate when a keyboard user is on the object. When using buttons, or states, of an object, the states are only visible when using a mouse (states will not show when navigating a course with the keyboard).

Please add Advanced Interaction
I use it to check items included in the quiz and all the URLs. It would be great if there was a window where you could see all the URLs associated with buttons, links, and actions. You could also update the URLs in that window. I spend many hours every year checking and updating URLs in my projects.
If Adobe could have a URL forwarder for Captivate that we could use to maintain URLs outside of the LMS, it would be even better. I know that I can pay for a service like this, but it is cost prohibitive.

Provide a more complete implementation of JavaScript that supports $.post to a php script
In a Captivate 11 project, I have some JavaScript that I use to communicate with a php script on a web server. The php script receives information from the Captivate module via a JavaScript post command, and it subsequently updates a SQL database. This is non-functional in Captivate 12. It appears that the ability to call a post command is blocked or not implemented. Here is my post command in JavaScript (specifics replaced with asterisks).
$.post('https://www.**********.com/insertexdata.php',{vcapModule:rptSystem, vcapDataElementText:modText, vcapComment:commentAction, vcapUsername:myStudentName, vservername:myServername, vusername:myUsername, vpassword:myPassword, vdbname:myDbname}, function() {});

BUG!
Assets panels again...
When using the Assets panel, if you use the search field to find a template and choose to insert it, it never stops loading.
Adobe Support has suggested scrolling down to find what you need, instead of searching for what you need. Not good enough. This bug needs to be fixed ASAP!
The new Adobe Captivate looks a lot like an unfinished product, puts Adobe's reputation at risk. I use other Adobe products since 1994 and have never seen anything so inconsistent.

menus
Can you add everything back into menus? I just want to publish and what not, without having to find the right button on the screen. Just have menus with all the commands. People can ignore them if they want.

space bar plays/pauses
Unless we are actively editing text, can you make it so that whenever a timeline shows, the space bar plays/pauses? Please include the timeline for closed captions.

hide properties
Clicking the Properties, Interactions, Animations, Audio, and Accessibility buttons switches the panel between them. Can you make it so that when we click the currently active choice, it hides the panel? I keep clicking it, thinking it will, but it doesn't. When I'm working on my laptop though, I often wish for that 20% of the screen back.

Paste Special and/or Without Formatting
When I copy/paste between text blocks and closed captioning, I really want it to paste without formatting. I have to reset the formatting in my caption everytime I paste.

Closed Captions Editing is Glitchy
When working with closed captions, my cursor disappears and it is difficult to see where I am editing, if I am editing at all. I have to select all and click to get the cursor to show or to reposition it. After selecting all and clicking, I can use arrow keys to move it, but it no longer shows on screen.

Show full slide name
Please show the entire slide name. I would say give the option of showing two lines on the list of slides. Even if you can do that though, please display two lines or more in the properties area on the right. It kills me that you have to click on the name to edit it, in order to use your arrow key to move around and read it.
