How to Copy Blocks from One Lesson to Another in Rise 360

Have you ever built a course in Rise 360 and realized, later on, that some of the content in one lesson would work great in a different lesson? Or maybe you want to reuse the same content structure? I’ve been there! Luckily, it’s super easy to copy blocks from one Rise lesson to another, thanks to the blocks template feature. Here’s how it works.

1. Open the Blocks Library

The first thing you’ll want to do is navigate to the lesson that contains the block you want to copy and open up the block library. You can do that either by clicking the plus sign (+) between two blocks …

 

… or by clicking All Blocks in the blocks shortcut bar.

2. Create a New Template

Next, select the templates tab in the block library and click the New Template button.

3. Select the Blocks to Copy

Then, select the block or blocks you want to copy by clicking the checkmark for each one.

4. Save Your Template

Next, click Save, name your template, and click Save once again.

5. Insert Your Template

Finally, navigate to the lesson where you’d like your copied block to go, open up the blocks library, and select your template.

Wrap-Up

Et voilà! It’s that easy. With blocks templates, you can copy blocks from one lesson to another within the same course and copy blocks to lessons in other courses; you can even share your blocks with members of your team if you have an Articulate 360 Teams subscription. It’s super handy!

    Hi Allison

    I have several clients who have their own Articulate Rise accounts. I would like to be able to share my templates with both clients instead of having to recreate the module in each clients account. Is trhere a way I can share my templates with each client separately?

    Keep up the good work and thanks

      Hi Harry,
      Unfortunately, templates are currently only available to other members of your team, not members of other teams so the only way to share would be to send them a copy or to add them as collaborators on a course.

      Would you be up for logging a feature request to tell us more about your specific needs? https://articulate.com/support/contact/feature-request
  • This is a great feature for reuse (e.g., between Rise courses), but what if I just want to move a block from one lesson to another, not reuse it? Seems silly to create a template so that I can move something, and then delete the template after that. I'm amazed that Articulate hasn't come up with a way to move blocks from one lesson to another.

      I honestly think this was their solution to that problem....
  • This works if you're creating a whole new template. I just need to move content between existing lessons. That isn't covered here at all.
  • As a beginner, I made several different types of blocks before realizing that they should have been separated into individual lessons. Is there any way to correct this, or do I simply have to start all over?
