Insert Text Boxes
The software simulation of Captivate 2023 doesn't seem to have as many options as Captivate 2019 had. E.g., inserting a text on a screen when it doesn't create one for you. This would be a great feature as this can create issues when this needs to be added where it hasn't been captured. I'm surprised with the new version, some of the 2019 features haven't automatically been copied across. Wouldn't this have been easier and then improve some of the options

Responsive behavior for Background Image
Allow a 'focal point' for images when they change sizes in Captivate projects
Sharepoint pages do allow you to set the 'focus' of an image for when the portal changes size, it lets the author have some control over how the item is shown to users without having a ton of options to configure each time.

Add ability to add additional text block to image block.
Currently you can only have a caption and subtitle on the image block. It would be helpful to be able to insert additional text blocks. This would allow for you to do things like adjust the timing of each text block for bullets with audio narration.

Save changes to Theme without having to open Theme Builder
A huge time saver for me would be able to change the formating of an object, such as a heading or title, and right-click on the object and save that change to the Theme for the project. This way, all my titles could be instantly updated to reflect that change. Presently this is a cumbersome process.

Copy appearance should work for all items.
E.g. in widget flip card, image and title appearance can be copied and pasted. I miss this option for the card itself (component background), incuding border-radius, color, stroke and shadow.

Simplify selection of correct answer in multiple choice questions
In previous versions of Adobe Captivate, selecting the correct answer for a multiple choice question was a single step process of merely selecting the correct answer(s) and that was it. With the All-new Adobe Captivate you need to first click on Select Answer, then select the answer(s) and then press the Done button. This is now a three step process. This process is now at least two more clicks per slide. While this is not a complicated process it will take more time to perform these steps, especially if you have a large number of question slides to produce.

Support web-based video streaming services using web objects and iframes.
We currently use iframes in a web object on a slide in Captivate Classic to stream video from an enterprise video streaming service called Vbrick (www.vbrick.com). We would like to see this supported in Captivate 2023.

I hate the layout
I feel my hands are tied with this new version like something microsoft would make. You should have an advanced button that you have more control than a bunch of templates that you can hardly manipulate. Additionally, I'm surprised that you can't import your old work and have to use the classic version which will no longer exist after 2027. Its pointless to use the classic version so I will have to totally rebuild all my training programs. I don't know whos brain child this was but a total mess. Also the tutorials are awful get someone you can understand…

External user feedback
Just curious how I can share this project for reviews with external stakeholders. From my experience with Articulate 360; there are robust sharing features where the SME or other individuals can leave comments on the project. Is that feature available or in the development pipeline

Ability to drag the audio in and have a library you can reference it from
Not being able to import multiple slides of audio at once is really slowing our processes down. Please bring back the ability to import more than one file at once and to have a library where they can all be viewed at so that we can get rid of any extras that we don't need to decrease file sizes.

Hyperlink interaction
At this moment you can only create a hyperlink for a component, not for a selected word or text part. This means that you need to insert a text block for each hyperlink you want to insert. It is good practice to make that hyperlink visible to the user, which means applying a new text style. At this moment that is not happening automatically like in previous versions.
I would prefer to be able to attach an URL (or a file) to a word or a text part in a text and at least get the automatic underline. It would…13 votes -
Additional Instruction Box shapes, settings in Software Simulation.
It would be good to be able to have different shapes for the instructions boxes like in 2019 with arrows, etc. Also beneficial to be able to set default box settings (box shape, color, border, shadow, text font and size). Setting the arrow throughout is nice, but would be similarly nice to do so for the instruction box settings and text settings.

Publish for Review Tool
It would be very helpful to be able to Publish for Review, that way I could send the course to SMEs and reviewers without having to upload to an LMS. I work for a large company, and uploads are a different team which adds 1 - 2 days. Something similar to the Storyline preview tool would be great.

When allowing for multiple attempts in drag and drop, provide a 'try again' caption.
Provide a ' try again ' caption when allowing for multiple attempts in drag and drop. Also when you have an initial attempt that is incorrect, provide the option to automatically reset the drag sources back to the original positions.

Bug - Interactive buttons with jump to bookmark on a slide video mobile issue
In the newest version of Adobe Captivate on Windows, when you have buttons that "jump to bookmark" on a slide video the interactivity does not work on mobile.
The functionality works fine on desktop but for some reason on mobile the buttons don't work and don't react to tap.
The mobile functionality is a needed feature for a client project.
Other button interactivity works on mobile such as running JavaScript, but not the "Jump to Bookmark"

Support multiple video playback control skins and features
Captivate Classic provides support for multiple self-hiding video playback control skins, such as Halo and Corona. It also provides "Auto Play" and "Auto Rewind" features for video that is embedded in a slide. We would like to see these features added to Captivate 2023.

Be able to group slides together
I want the ability to group slides. In this use case, it would track different branches in scenario-based training. Still, thinking back to Captivate Classic, there are many reasons related to other features that would benefit users.
