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 to Slide A, yields a completely white screen with no feedback or info.
If I try to add a new accordion widget to Slide A, the same issues happen, but I am able to add them to other slides that never contained 12.5 accordion widgets without these issues.
I think the solution is to delete the problematic slides and re-create them from within 12.6, but I'd like to know if there is any other way around this.
PS - not sure what Category to put this in, there should be an Accordion Widget category to go with the other widget-specific categories.

Improve responsiveness in Drag & Drop
The responsiveness in the Drag & Drop widget is inexistent!
- The title and body text are on the top of each other in Tablet and Mobile mode
- The drag objects get very small when they are images
- The drag objects turn into numbers when they are text
- If drag objects are text, even in desktop mode they will be on top of each other inside the drag area, so you can't drag them to another place
- Using transparent images in the drag objects will make them crash
- you can't configure the positioning of components properly, so the final result is always a surprise
- Having only one dragging area is useless, as you can't configure only part of the drag objects to belong into one dragging area. So if you have only one dragging area, all the drag objects need to be configured to that specific area.

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 a specific theme to a project, you don't even need to copy and past, the header and footer automatically appears there! - This is a fabulous idea I had, to be honest :-)

Lack of mobility in software.
I want to like this software as a designer, but the fact that I cannot move things around, is a little upsetting. I believe if you make that change it would help designers out a lot.

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)?

Complex calculation expression
I have what i thought was a fairly simple calculations I wanted to set up and unable to do in Captivate 12. I have three variables, TotalBounce, Q1 and Q2. I want TotalBounce=Q1 + Q2. I cannot make this work with the current expression since that only allows an add, subtract, multiple, or divide a value of a variable by a number (not another variable).

Dedicated Description Location option
I would like a dedicated location where all the timeline callouts appear in the same location. There are times when the callout blocks out the other hotspots, when the callout appears. I often times have a location on the image that is clear and would like that all callouts appear there since they close each other out.
Ultimately I would like to manually move the callouts to where ever I feel is the most appropriate location.

Widget Bug
I've spent hours rebuilding the same slide several times. I've replaced the backgrounds on the cards with images. I reach a certain point in creating overlays etc - then get an error message in the browser on preview saying "Something Went Wrong." Then, I have to start over. I've wasted so much time, and I'm realising The All New Captivate is full of glitches and bugs! Please help.

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.

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.

add the ability to embed audio in hotspots and carousels
hotspots cannot trigger audio when clicked. for example parts of the body. When user clicks or hovers over the hotspot, they should be able to hear the name of that part. we can have an interaction like play media for each hotspot or embedd the audio in the callout. The same can be done for all widgets and carousels. they currently have no ability to play audio

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.

split closed captions
I wish there was a way to position the playhead, then position the cursor in the caption, the split it into two captions. Even better, it would be great it if you could type in one caption, then set a number of words/characters and Captivate could split the caption up itself. Instead of this useful stuff, all we get is a little yield sign in the upper right telling us the huge caption will obscure the screen.
