Course Crashes when pasting formatted text into a text box
I have a lesson on AI that asks the user to paste the results into the text box to verify they completed the task. When a user clicks the "Copy" button at the bottom of ChatGPT and tries to paste that into a Captivate textbox, the course crashes. The text box should only allow "plain text" to paste and remove any formatting - or add a rich text box which would allow for additional formatting to be pasted.

Share for Review
When Reviewing a shared lesson, the comments should have an indicator of where the comment is being made. If the slide has multiple media blocks or text blocks, the indicator will allow the reviewer to pinpoint where their recommendations should be made. The current method works only when commenting on the overall status of the slide, but if only some of the information needs to be corrected, the developer would need to search through all the content to find where the reviewer saw the mistake.

Text formatting is off after importing translated caption and closed caption word file
The import of translated caption and closed caption word file is not helping my purpose, as the font size, color and formatting are going off. Especially if I have a text box with two words in two different font size/style/color.

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.

Provide a more complete implementation of JavaScript that supports $.post to a php script
In a Captivate 11 project, I have some JavaScript that I use to communicate with a php script on a web server. The php script receives information from the Captivate module via a JavaScript post command, and it subsequently updates a SQL database. This is non-functional in Captivate 12. It appears that the ability to call a post command is blocked or not implemented. Here is my post command in JavaScript (specifics replaced with asterisks).
$.post('https://www.**********.com/insertexdata.php',{vcapModule:rptSystem, vcapDataElementText:modText, vcapComment:commentAction, vcapUsername:myStudentName, vservername:myServername, vusername:myUsername, vpassword:myPassword, vdbname:myDbname}, function() {});

BUG!
Assets panels again...
When using the Assets panel, if you use the search field to find a template and choose to insert it, it never stops loading.
Adobe Support has suggested scrolling down to find what you need, instead of searching for what you need. Not good enough. This bug needs to be fixed ASAP!
The new Adobe Captivate looks a lot like an unfinished product, puts Adobe's reputation at risk. I use other Adobe products since 1994 and have never seen anything so inconsistent.

space bar plays/pauses
Unless we are actively editing text, can you make it so that whenever a timeline shows, the space bar plays/pauses? Please include the timeline for closed captions.

hide properties
Clicking the Properties, Interactions, Animations, Audio, and Accessibility buttons switches the panel between them. Can you make it so that when we click the currently active choice, it hides the panel? I keep clicking it, thinking it will, but it doesn't. When I'm working on my laptop though, I often wish for that 20% of the screen back.

Paste Special and/or Without Formatting
When I copy/paste between text blocks and closed captioning, I really want it to paste without formatting. I have to reset the formatting in my caption everytime I paste.

Show full slide name
Please show the entire slide name. I would say give the option of showing two lines on the list of slides. Even if you can do that though, please display two lines or more in the properties area on the right. It kills me that you have to click on the name to edit it, in order to use your arrow key to move around and read it.

The labels are not changing in my project when I change them under preferences
When I open quizzing labels under preferences, I am able to change the default labels to my desired statement. However, when I run a preview on the slide, the labels are back to the system default labels, not the statement I chose.

Fix a number of issues in the assets panel.
A lot of Thumbnails for slide templates do not appear in the Assets panel, instead there's a "broken link" image. It is impossible to identify which template you are using.
There's no indication of what kind of template they are. A title like "Title and Image" or "Character and text" or "Multiple Choice" would be useful to identify which template you need.
There could be an option to increase the thumbnail size, to better choose what you need.
The insert process is way too slow, even with a good internet connection.…

Jump to bookmark with Overlay - Audio Issue
On my main slide, I added bookmarks (located after the slide audio). The bookmarks open an overlay slide with audio. If I jump to the first bookmark before the main slide audio is finished, the overlay opens and the overlay audio plays; however, the main slide audio also starts over and plays at the same time. If I wait for the main slide audio to end and jump to the first bookmark, it does not happen.
Note - it works fine in preview but not after publishing.

add AI voice cloning option for updating legacy narration clips. My CP clients like my own voice and branding continuity is important.
I use Eleven Labs but it would be much easier to add voice cloning into CP. Or, acquire Eleven Labs and integrate it into all of Adobe multimedia products!

Add ability to change states of text block - not just the components within the block
It would be great if there was an option to change the state of a text block, not just the components within the block.
For example, I'd like the ability to change the text of the title subtitle, but I also want to be able to change the background color of the entire block based on an action of the user.

Enable more design features for the quiz slides
Currently if you insert a quiz slide you cannot add any additional design elements - they are all greyed out. It would be great if there was more flexibility with the design on these slides as it is a critical slide for e-learning

Make the Multiple Choice Question Shuffle Blue when activated
In previous versions when you wanted to activate the shuffle questions button, it turned blue. Now it is clear background if not activated and gray background if activated. It is not easy to see quickly or tell which is which.

Allow autoplay of event video upon slide enter.
Using version 12.5, it would be helpful to have the option to force an event video to play automatically upon slide enter.
