Adding a photo to the course homepage in Rise
Is it possible to insert a photo on the course home page with the course title?
Also, is there a way to shift images within the frame of the slide? I'd like to move the image down in the frame to have more headspace.

Similarly to others in this thread, I'd like to add a preview video to the course overview page and would love to know a little more about why this is text-only or if there's a workaround.

I'm joining to the choir and really looking forward for this feature. I think it's very strange that there is no possibility to add visuals to the overview page in Rise.

I'm also needing this capability. My client has just asked for this.

Please add the option to use basic blocks like images and video on the course description page. It's a no-brainer, and as someone above mentioned, it's something even the most basic editors can do.
This is the frustrating thing about Articulate--great products, but seemingly silly development decisions that limit creativity for no apparent reason. And really no action from the team when people speak up.
Come on Articulate--these tools are expensive--please provide the features your loyal clients request. Thanks!
Hi everyone,
Thanks for reaching out! I just wanted to share that we do have an existing feature request to be able to add media, such as images and videos, in the Description section of a Rise course. I've added your voices to the feature report, and we'll update this thread if there are any changes.
Hi Mary!
You can absolutely add a photo on the course home page. Just open up the Course Settings and click on Add Cover Photo (see how to do this step by step in this gif).
To answer your second question, I think the easiest way to do that would be to add extra padding before your image. To do that, simply click on Edit, select Settings, and change the top padding to 100 pixels (see this gif).
I hope that helps! :)

I can upload a cover photo, but I don't see where I can change the padding. I don't see a Edit button on the Course Settings page.
Hi Jim,
Right now, there isn’t a way to adjust the padding on a cover photo in Rise.
Allison’s directions for changing the padding above apply to using an Image Block in a lesson.
Hope this helps!

The first link is not working.

Also would be nice to be able to position the title text and change the color.

Hi Jim,
Great suggestion! I’ve added your feedback to the feature requests we have in the queue for Rise.
Hey folks!
The course description is intended for text-only, but thanks for letting us know you'd like to add images there, too. I'll be sure our team sees your request!
- KeishaMcKenzieCommunity Member
Yes Please add this option. It is needed. Thanks much.

Thanks, Alyssa!
Thanks for checking in, Shrav! We're still tracking requests for this feature. If we decide to add it to our development roadmap in the future, we'll let you know!
