Hey Janet - I'm so happy that you're enjoying using rise.
We set the default padding to 30px top and bottom based on a lot of testing across multiple devices and with lots of different content. It provided the best balance of white-space and content, providing a great learning experience that wasn't too dense or heavy.
I'd be curious to see an example where no-padding on every block works best. (Is this for both top and bottom?!) If you can share, that would be great.
Thanks for your quick response, Adam. I understand what you are saying about the balance of white-space and content, and 30 px does work well in many cases. I've just been finding I'm using no padding a lot in a current project and I was looking to reset the default. Here's the difference between 30px padding and no padding in an image and text example (attached).
Cool, thanks for sharing Janet. Right, we found that 30px works as a great default but that's why we also created the feature to let you change it. Because in certain cases custom padding makes sense.
I would like to chime in and agree that 0 or 10 pixels makes a much nicer default for separator padding/spacing in Articulate Rise over the current standard of 30 px.
Agreed, I have to change the padding on almost all blocks. But that doesn't help on the first screen of a lesson. There is so much scrolling required when it should all fit on one screen. Take a look at my attachment, is there another setting I can change?
I find that I lower the padding a bit when I have a text block trailing a MM block. The text looks more associated with the elements that way. Probably about 50% of my imports... I find that the single line divider isn't seen by people so the chunked aspect of the page isn't very obvious. On the other hand, the "continue" block offsets that somewhat allowing users to move from chunk to chunk...
Thanks for that image example - and we are looking at additional changes to how you can adjust padding. I don't have a timeframe to share on that enhancement yet, but I will certainly keep you posted here!
For the last part of the padding in the quote block, you'll also notice the top portion of the quotes icon (very light in the image) is at the top of the block, but the text on that one is still lower. It's centered in the overall block element.
Thanks Thiago and Stuart for sharing your need for this too! We do get lots of requests and ideas here in the forums and also through our feature request form.
Is there an update on Cher's question about all the white space between the heading and the first block? I would really like to reduce this as we have a request to create a course with no scrolls on lessons.
Thanks so much for letting us know this feature is important to you. I don't have an update yet, but you're in the right place to be notified if this feature is added!
Is there any update on this? It would be hugely helpful to be able to set the default padding to 0 or 10 in one step rather than having to change each block.
I don’t currently have any updates, but you are now subscribed to this conversation which means as we share updates here, you’ll automatically be notified.
Just padding in general. Header is way to spaced and when you remove author (why is that even a thing) it leaves the white space. Learners just are left confused with all the white. Just need some more power to compress it all especially for smaller screens.
Thanks for chiming in Mike. If there's something specific you'd like to see with regards to the padding, please take a moment to submit a feature request here with more details. We appreciate the customer feedback! Thanks :)
Thanks for checking in, Laura. There's not currently a way to adjust the padding or margins around lesson titles or set a default padding setting. I'll add your vote to that feature request!
It sounds like you want to adjust default padding for Rise 360 blocks, is that right?
Currently the default is set at 30 pixels. If you want to change the padding, you'll want to do that on a block-by-block basis, as there isn't a way to adjust the default.

I have the same question... why this extra space?
+1 A configurable default would be great. I need to change it every time which is tiresome.

The comments go back 2 years - is there no feature to allow us to do this yet?
Thanks for checking in, Laura. There's not currently a way to adjust the padding or margins around lesson titles or set a default padding setting. I'll add your vote to that feature request!
Hello. I have the same issue. I see that it was posted 2 years ago. Has this been resolved? Thanks so much!

Hi Alyssa
Is there no update for the default padding? I'm having the same issue where I have to go every block to adjust padding.
That's right, Armand. There isn't a way to change block padding globally, so you'll want to change the padding in each block individually.
Please add my vote for providing a way to change the default padding. It seems like a small thing to do.
