Exporting not working
The "Exporting project content and closed captions" will not save. My team and I have tried, and we have the latest version. We could a few weeks ago. All it does is go to save, but it doesn't. Please help!

Ensure that Captivate will still function with iCloud sync of the Documents folder enabled.
Currently, if Mac users have iCloud sync of their Documents folder enabled, Captivate will not function properly. In particular, insertion of image blocks will fail with a message of “Something went wrong with content block insertion.” Users should not have to disable iCloud for Captivate to function.

Open up the Bookmark-Overlay Option to include Graded Question Slides
It would significantly add so much if the overlay pre-built question slide could be either a knowledge check or a graded quiz that is reportable to the LMS. Using this feature in a final assessment (rather than the Preliminary/Introduction/Review portion of an eLearning course) could add some much dimension to an eLearning Final Assessment.

Bug: uploading non-zipped output results in blank screen
To provide a link (or to embed) such output, I always upload (Fzilla) to my domain. Here is an example:
https://www.lilybiri.com/published/BookmarkStates/index.html
This URL however will not open anything, there was no error reported, just get a blank screen (Edge/Chrome).
Another user reported the same problem in the Adobe forum.
Weird: when uploaded to the eLearning community where AWS required a zipped output, it works fine although loading time is too long for a 14Mb file.1 vote -
BUG Can't input Japanese
When I try to enter Japanese into a slide, the characters I type are entered twice, and I can only enter the alphabet except for vowels.
You can enter Japanese by copying and pasting the Japanese entered in another text editor.1 vote -
Impossible to have a blank list on Default state
To have a list entering line by line, I often start with a blank default state of the list, than add custom states where a next bullet is added etc.
The easiest way is to fill the default state with the full list, than duplicate as many times as needed, delete lines on each state. At the end I want to clear everything on the default state but that is impossible.
Will provide you directly with a project with that issue.1 vote -
Direct access to the Assets
That feature existed in previous versions. Now you can only access all assets from the popup when inserting an item which can use an asset and click on Assets. As already asked since Assets panel were introduced: allow to add personal assets. I often use Adobe stock for all Adobe applications but since we still have no access to the CC Libraries...sighing

Highlighting the search results from the TOC Search function
It would be great to have the function that the words I'm searching for in the TOC searching field would be highlighted on the slides. Like it would be if I'm searching in a PDF or with STRG+F.
My wishful thinking would be that you see a Preview of the sentence, where the word is included.

QuestionAnswerChoice buggy
Using this variable to create an interaction is not working at all, variable cannot be displayed neither. Is this linked with its type which is 'string'? In previous versions the variable cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice was very useful for many use cases.

widget
We had created a series of free Widgets (Captivate Classic terminology - not related to widgets in Captivate). The Captivate Classic widget functionality was great, because it allowed us to create a custom UI and include JS to the published file. Our widgets are here: https://envolvemedia.com/custom-applications/#captivate
A simple example is the Save As Widget. The Captivate developer could use their own button instance that when clicked would just save the contents of that slide to a PDF or Image on the end-users machine.
Captivate [New] doesn't allow for these widgets. Even creating a "Custom Design" does not support setting custom…

make an easy way to make input fields mandatory and be resizable in width
Been trying to make the input fields mandatory before the learner can click on the next button, I have tried lots of different conditions as not empty, not equal to _null (setting this variable to another empty field) before it shows the next button nothing has worked so far. I have managed to go around and use the click object option before the learner can see the button but this is not ideal.
Also I don't see the need of a large input field that goes from one side to the other of the page but instead it would be…

Video demo has no Control panel on Timeline
Captivate Classic, Video Demo editor lost a lot of features. When switching to the editor, Timeline is no longer activated by default. You need to open it using the Window menu.
Moreover the control panel at the bottom of the Timeline, where you had tiny buttons for navigation, for trimming, splitting, add panning/zooming points, switch to mouse points editing has completely disappeared. It makes working with Video Demo a real pain.
Play/pause still is sometimes functional using the playbar, but that is not consistent (same as New Captivate). But for all other functionalities which were at the fingertips in previus…1 vote -

Images on blocks do not have same properties as background images on slides (or image media block)
When setting an image for the background appearance of a block, you lose the ability to set transparency, blur, brightness and contrast.
1. Add an Introduction Slide
2. Click on the Introduction block in the slide
3. Expand the Appearance section in the properties panel
4. Click the arrow next to Solid Fill and select 'Image'
5. Import any image (from system or assets)
RESULT: No ability to set transparency, blur or brightness and contrast
EXPECTED: Ability to set transparency, blur, brightness and contrast1 vote -
Bug - Captivate Classic 11.8.2.254 installs files in root of Adobe folder
Captivate Classic 11.8.2.254 files install to C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe\ folder on Windows 10. Should install to "Adobe Captivate 2019 x64" subfolder. I installed 11.8.2.254 via the Captivate installer after running "Check for Updates" from the Help menu of the previous version. Installation was successful and 11.8.2.254 runs without any apparent issues. Performed the same update on another Win 10 laptop and it too had Captivate files installed to the C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe\ folder.

Add extra actions to the widgets
When you add a tab widget it would be nice to be able to add our own actions to the buttons, this would allow us to add our own custom validation or extra text to appear after all tabs have been seen.
I would expect the actions to make the widget would be locked but we could add extra.
Another example would be to use the flip card widget as a way to create a knowledge check or show images if certain combinations are selected.

Custom Size: Page Properties/Layout
I understand the need for responsive design and I appreciate added features. With that said, please don't remove features. I would like to be able to control the layout size for desktops. When embedded in the LMS, a scroll bar appears so the learners can not see the buttons without scrolling. Please bring back custom sizing.
