Fix inconsistent functionality of widgets on Apple products.
My Apple users who participate in courses I have built in Captivate experience inconsistent results when navigating widgets and using buttons. Specifically, exit buttons don't close the course, and flip cards delay the action so users end up clicking multiple times and the widget acts erratically.

Allow for closed captions when video is playing full screen.
When in full screen mode that can be accessed from the "Grid" style Video Media block, the closed captions are not visible. Additionally, a "CC" toggle button should be available on the default controls of the full screen.

Provide regular updates
Please update your users on the future features of the new Captivate and the life span of Captivate Classic. Currently the new Captivate does not come close to meeting our eLearning development needs. With the news that Captivate Classic will not be supported after 2025, we are feeling the need to switch our authoring tool. If I knew what features were going to be available in the new version, I might stay.

Software Sim background record issue
When I record a software sim, regardless of if it's demo, assessment or training, the actual application I'm trying to record (a web based app in Chrome, but true for any app) does not get recorded. Instead, I see only my desktop background image (in my case, mountains with grasses and trees). The click boxes and instructions/text captions appear in the right spots, just not the actual application. See attached screenshot to see what I mean.
I found threads for a similar problem long ago in Captivate Classic, the solution being to make sure you are running as an admin....…

Tabs/buttons initial state
Maybe I'm missing something, but I am not able to initially set the first (or any) tab to "selected". In preview or published, it shows the content of the first tab, but there's no indication what tab it belongs to.
This goes for regular buttons as well - how can I set the initial state to something other than default?

Adjust dimensions of tabs manually
Currently the tabs automatically adjust their width or height depending on the content area. Especially with the tabs stacked on the side this can be quite annoying, as they change position when they adjust their size. It can also be quite ugly, design-wise. I would like to be able to set a fixed height on the tabs.

Recording from within a project should have all three options for recording.
Currently recording simulation from within a project gives you radio buttons, therefore you can not record the demo, training, and assessment at the same time. This is useful if you have build up some knowledge slides then you wanted to add a software simulation as a demo and training for example.

Certificate download file size and missing "save as" option
The "Download" button saves a file with fixed name "captivate-certificate-[n].pdf" with an index n.
1. ICan the user please be prompted with a system dialog to save with a file name and to a location of his/her choice?
2. The PDF contains a rasterized image of poor quality (see text sample attached) but astonishing size (~5 MB). Can the file please be configured to be as small as possible, with a printable text quality as fitting for a respectable certificate?1 vote -

redo the click to reveal slides. Every time I change a picture on there, it tells me "something went wrong!" in the preview and I have to redo the entire slide. This is not sustainable. Please fix.

Add a pause button option
Please add the ability to easily add a PLAY/PAUSE button option in variables or slide interactions AND add the option into the TOC. The reason I am asking for BOTH options is that when I have a course that requires learners to view all slides, I need to turn off TOC because it currently allows learners to skip ahead/bypass slides so I need the ability to easily create a button/action allowing learners to pause play on any individual slide. (If I am missing something or there is an easy way to create the button/action - please share!)

Bug - Slides size after software simulation
After creating a few normal slides, when adding larger software simulation slides, the "working area" of the previously designed normal slides has enlarged and is now the size of a software simulation slide, which suggests that the slides need to be adjusted. It would be nice if each view in the "work area" ,represented the size of the slide in the preview, depending on the slide type (normal or software simulation).

Play media from assets
When you add an interaction to a button you can have it "Play Media" but you can only select media from your file explorer, you cannot select anything from assets. Please allow us to select media from assets.
