Ability to undock panels.
Would like the ability to undock and move the timeline panel, or any panel, to a custom location on my screen or to a separate display. Currently, I can only view Captivate on one monitor and when the timeline is expanded I lose a lot of screen real estate. In Cp Classic, I could undock and move the timeline, library, and many other panels wherever I wanted and save that layout for future projects.

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.

Text to speech panel open when moving from slide to slide
I've been entering many slides of text to speech and I have to open the text to speech panel for each time I navigate to another slide. To me it would make sense if the software would keep a panel open until I select to display another.

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.

Conditional or advanced interactions are slow and not very glanceable.
What was nice about Adobe Captivate Classic was that I could glance at the advanced action window and quickly determine the triggers and subsequent actions. The interactions panel hides much of its content, making it difficult to see the work that has already been performed and see what is yet to write. I want Captivate to display more details about what conditions and actions have already been performed.

“Advanced Interactions” panel
It is necessary to have an “Advanced Interactions” panel, right now the total points are wrong, it does not correspond to the points assigned in each question

language of the project
In the accessibility panel, we can select a language for each block. For now, it need to be changed manually for each block. It would be useful to select the language by default in the project settings. As I develop french content, I need to change manually each block language.

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…2 votes -
Spacebar as shortcut
In all Adobe applications which have a Timeline, the Spacebar is used as shortcut key to play/pause the slide. That worked also perfectly in previous versions of Captivate, if focus was on the Timeline panel.
In version 12 the behavior is inconsistent, sometimes it works, sometimes not at all. Once you switch to using the Play/pause buttons it looks like you lose the focus on the Timeline and Spacebar will not be functional. Rather frustrating to unlearn the use of the Spacebar after almost two decades.4 votes -
When resizing objects, show the pixels measure.
When objects are not mean to have their height automatically adjusted, it would be obvious and nice to see the measurement in pixels, either on the Visual Preferences panel or when close to the arrow cursor when dragging up and down.
It would be also great to be able to customise the width and height of simple images and buttons in the same way.
I don't understand why Captivate does not have a more advanced user interface like so many other Adobe products like Photoshop, Illustrator or even Adobe Express. This is so damaging to the product's reputation...

feedback multistate object in quiz
At this moment the default position of that multistate object is at the top. However that means that the control panel for the 3 layouts is overlapping the feedback messages during Preview. It would be better to put that default location to the bottom.
BTW, it would be nice to have the Show 'captions' remain active until they are hidden again by the developer. Now you have to show them individually on each slide, which means a lot of time loss when editing the content of those messages, since you need to scroll down in the properties panel to find…3 votes -
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

Quizzing Preferences
There is still a category Quizzing under Preferences. However some of the preferences have been moved to the Properties panel of the Results slide: Attempts on quiz level, Pass/Fail actions etc... They used to be in the Quizzing Preferences under Pass/Fail.
However you can build a 'Quiz' by using only scored objects (formerly labeled as Custom questions). In that case the Results slide is NOT added automatically and you don't have access to its Properties. It would be better to move Pass/Fail again to Quiz Preferences.3 votes -

For a multiple choice, in the interactions panel, when we use variables on selection, the + operation trigger when we change selection and not when ithe question is submitted. No options of selections are avaible in the submit button.

Change the "Project End" actions option in the Preference Panel to revert back to "nothing"
When you are setting the Preferences / Project / Publish to computer, if you choose one of the actions in the "Project End" option, you cannot revert back to nothing if you choose "Loop Project", "Close Project", "Open URL or file", or "Run JavaScript".
In my case, I have selected the action "Close Project" but changes my mind, now I cannot revert back to nothing...
This is outrageous as I have to generate this project all from scratch because of a silly configuration issue.

Allow customized carousel page styles to be copied or applied across all instances.
This would also apply to other widgets, but if you need to customize the overall appearance of the carousel slide pages, i.e.( colors, text, cards, borders, etc...) it is EXTREMELY annoying and time consuming to be forced to make the same changes over and over for each instance!
Therefore, I HIGHLY suggest adding a checkbox somewhere in the properties panel that applies your custom styles to ALL instances within the same widget. This would save so much extra production time!

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.

add more cutout characters to assets
What happened to all of the cutout characters in the asset panel? Why are there so few poses of each character?
