Add a way to keep the arrow pointer visible after the animation on a software sim.
Currently, when the animation of the pointer is complete, the pointer disappears. There should be a way to separate the animation from the arrow graphic on the timeline so you can have the pointer persist on the screen until the end of the slide. This would be particularly helpful if you have audio over a particular slide on a simulation that is describing movements. You could then sync the movement with where it is mentioning it in the audio clip, but have the arrow pointer continue to point to the place until the end of the clip.

BUG: 12.5 Accordion Widgets broken in 12.6
I have a project built in 12.5 with multiple accordion widgets that worked fine. After updating to 12.6, Captivate gives an error message "Something went wrong while content block insertion." and the widget is missing from those slides. For readability below, Slide A has the accordion widget built in 12.5 that I'm trying to get to work in 12.6.
If I try to Preview the project from Slide A, after clicking to start, the window goes gray and it just says "something went wrong!" in small text in the top left. Starting the Preview from a different slide and navigating…

Improve the branding blocks Header and Footer
A few improvements that can be done in the branding blocks:
- Implement the option of making it persistent, so if the user scrolls through the content, the header or/and footer stays frozen above all the content.Ability to copy and paste the building blocks from one project to another, just so you don't have to remake all the configurations again in each of the projects. I have a dozen of projects that use branding blocks and need to build each one from scratch, this is annoying!
Include the header and footer in the Theme Editor, so when you apply…

Adjust colour of hyperlinks - both in theme options or manually.
Hyperlinks default colour is lavender purple. This is not accessible on white or black. And users cannot change the link colour. Please make it adjustable.

allow for a fixed multiple choice answer when answers are shuffled
A lot of us use "All of the above" (and sometimes even "None of the above") as a multiple-choice answer, but from a layout perspective it only makes sense to have that (or those) answer(s) at the bottom. Another way to think about it would be to only shuffle certain answers, but not others. Maybe creating a fixed class and having it positioned at 16 (given that 15 is the limit)?

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.

button audio
Allow the use of asset audio files on a button click. Currently you can attach a play audio interaction, but you can't select the audio file from the asset library.

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.

Please consider to include an equation editor in Adobe Captivate 12.5.

Export Project Content and Closed Captions for Localization of Simulations
I attempted to export Project Content and Closed Captions for a Training Simulation only to get a document file that contained only generic fields but non of my actual instruction or feedback caption content. If this is error I would like to know how to correct this. If this has not been developed for version 12 then I would like to report this as a bug. I have attached the exported word document.

Auto update
Implement an option to select auto update the All New Adobe Captivate. I didn't even know the software was not updating automatically and that I need to check for updates manually.

Create a java script or interaction that will rewind audio. When attaching audio to a slide, the learner cannot rewind the audio.
Currently, it is possible to use JavaScript to create a button to rewind video files within the captivate project, however, there is no similar functionality available for audio files attached to slides. This limitation impacts the learner's ability to revisit specific parts of the audio content.
I recommend adding an option under the interactions section or as part of the timeline settings that enables users to rewind audio attached to a slide. This feature could allow creators to configure rewind increments of 5, 10, and/or 15 seconds(or provide custom intervals). This functionality would make it easier to review the content…

Allow Highlight box on image slides
I have screen shot images in which I want to point out items using a highlight but there is no option if you are using a slide with an image. This seems only possible on a simulation slide. Same with hover box or or button. I can only add a button at the bottom using the widget, but I can't overlay an interaction on my screen shot.

Check for update
In Adobe Captivate, the only way to check the version and/or see if there is an update is to create a new project; or open a new project. It would be nice to be able to do the same in the home screen.

Three Outcomes for Quiz Results Slides
Presently there are two possible Review Area results messages, however there are three possible results of some quizzes.
1. You passed
2. You failed
3. You ran out of triesIt would be nice to have the third Review Area message available when a set number of tries have been set in the Interactions Section of the Results slide.
I have a client right now who wants this configuration but it requires a custom solution on my part.

Knowledge check slide icon
I really miss the little icon that would display in the filmstrip under knowledge check slides. It was great to be able to tell at a glance which question slides were KCs and which were graded. I feel like I have to go to each slide and check in the property inspector now, which takes more time.

Course loading progress indicator.......
When a user starts a course, it would be helpful to show a loading progress indicator in the browser to show that the course is loading. In Captivate 12, there is only a blank screen. There is nothing to show the user that is something is happening until the course finally loads and is displayed.
I have attached 2 files.
1. Captivate2019 which shows the loading progress indicator
2. Captivate12 which just shows a blank screen in the new Captivate version.2 votes -
Align text and button horizontally
I'm not sure if it's a bug, but I've been trying to get a line of text and a button aligned horizontally (text with button NEXT to it, NOT underneath). It's impossible. Even with a design template that shows horizontal alignment (see screenshot) - it just doesn't work. This is really frustrating; it's such a simple thing but impossible in Cp 12 (I have the latest 12.4).
