Hello All!
Happy to announce that you can now customize the default text labels in Rise. This gives you the ability to make built-in course elements, such as buttons and lesson headers, say what you want them to say.
Brian has started a great discussion here if you'd like to check it out and you can find our support documentation here.
As always, we keep our Rise Version History up to date too.

Thanks Stephanie for sharing that idea and the steps here with other folks! Just as a reminder for anyone else, the feature to update the labels such as "start course" is a feature on our roadmap slated for Q1 2017. We'll let folks know once it's released, and when released it'll be immediately accessible to you in Rise.
Thanks Ashley. I should have prefaced this post with "for those who can't wait". It is a hack but a fairly simple one if you just want to change the wording on the Start Button. : )
No worries Stephanie, our team can always pop in to give that type of update or information - and it's definitely a cool hack!
Awesome! Thanks Stephanie!
Thank you Stephanie - like you I was experimenting with my portfolio in Rise and came a cropper with these few tags I couldn't change - brilliant and thanks for sharing the easy steps - happy New Year!
Does anyone have this hack for the LMS SCORM 1.2 published file? Because the lines mentioned in this hack are not the same. I'm not even able to find overview_button with a search of the code. Thanks!
Hi Molly,
I don't know if Stephanie is subscribed to receive email notifications here, but in case you could look at messaging her directly using the "contact me" button on her profile to see if she's able to share specific steps with you.
Worked like a charm Stephanie...you're brilliant!! Thank you!
Very nice. This opens up more options and certainly good to hear that Articulate are listening and plans are underway to add some of this as a feature of the product. Thanks guys.
I did send a message, but I also found it. My problem was that I wasn't putting in a double underscore when searching for the content. The struggle is real when you're new to code:) Thanks!
Ashley, I know that the ability to edit the button text is coming, but will we have the ability to change the button to a shape? For instance, as a global company with a lot of translation needs, we'd prefer to just have a play button with no words... do you know if this is part of the plan or should I submit an enhancement request? Also, will we be able to delete buttons entirely (for instance, we'd like to delete the "Details" button.) Thank you!!
Hi Molly,
So far I've only heard the feature described as changing the Labels text, but not the button or modify the shape. But if you're inserting text, I think you'd be able to insert special characters or symbols too (I know I can do it for standard text on each Rise lesson or title) . Definitely submit it as a feature request so that we can track it - and when the label editing feature is released, I'll also test out my theory about special characters - for example here's the one I put in the title that kind of looks like a play button?

This is great news!
Hi all,
Just a quick note to let you know we released some additional Rise label enhancements yesterday. You can now export text labels for built-in course elements, such as buttons and lesson headers, customize or translate them, then import them back into Rise. Here are directions on how to do so.
Let us know if you need anything else or have any questions.
Great enhancements for the labels and buttons. But is it possible to export and change the text outside of Articulate? That didn't seem possible when I exported the Employee Wellness demo as No LMS—Web Only. The content is apparently encrypted in Javascript but it's not plain text or HTML. I searched the directory for the word "crabby" (which is used in Lesson 3 Gauging Your Wellness) but it didn't come up.
Hi Michael,
Take a look at the options here for editing the labels and customizing them.
As for the one screen text for your lessons, our team is still working on a new feature to allow you to export and translate items that way. I'll keep you posted on that here in the forum discussion!
Hi Stephanie, thank you for this. How will this work on a new google site where I embed my Rise course using the 'embed URL' function?
Hi Angel,
Hopefully Stephanie is still subscribed to pop in and help you out here.
You are certainly welcome to reach out to the user directly via the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile if you do not hear back soon.
I wanted to pop in and share a bit of good news with you Michael :)
We released a new feature in Rise today:
New: You can now localize a Rise course into other languages. Export text to an XLIFF file, translate it, then import it back into Rise with formatting intact.
Because Rise is a web app, new features and fixes are immediately available, though you might need to export a Rise course again to update existing published output with a new feature or bug fix.
Kelly shared an announcement you can check out here and our Rise Version history can always be found right here.
Hi, there! New to the Rise boards. Is there a way that we can change the font and color of the Start Course button? I'm not seeing those options in the Setting section. I appreciate any suggestions!
Hi Bob,
The color of the Start Course button depends on your courses's theme colors, which you can update in the Course Settings.
You can change the theme fonts, but certain elements -- like the Start course button -- aren't impacted by this font customization.
If the ability to customize ALL the fonts would make authoring in Rise easier for you, please log a feature request to tell us more.
Rather late I know, but I wanted to say thank you Stephanie Harnett for this post.
I needed to change the course title of a Rise course that I no longer have access to, and was able to use these instructions to do it.
In my case I updated the following line in the main.bundle.js:
{className:"overview__title brand--head"},'My new title goes here')}
Something has changed in the file format and the instructions for the Start Button text really don't work.
Hi Andrew, If you're trying to change 'Start Course' to another word, please take a look at this link for instructions on how to change that label into something else!
