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.

Wait... you're telling me that the course description is a completely static text block with no options? Why can't we access the same blocks there that we can access in a regular lesson? I have a very simple graphic that my SME wants as part of the course description. Not only is it a completely valid request, it's a valuable request. But I'm going to have to go back to my SME with the news that our much-lauded course authoring tool is not capable of something that a simple Word Processing app has been able to do since the 1980s? Yikes. :(
Please add me to the list of voices requesting more flexibility, both in the course description and for in-line images.
It would be nice to be able to give a visual overview of the course in the course description. Looking forward to that feature :-).
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!
Hello - it's been 5 months since I made the original request to add images in the course description. Any updates regarding this?
I'd like to put in a request for the ability to add images to the course description as well!
Tech,
Here is a step-by-step video: https://youtu.be/0wyNzjmldgI
Once you add a cover photo the option to change it is gone
Hi Angelo,
Select your Course.
Select THEME.
Select Cover Page.
Select Edit.
Change the Cover Image.
Thanks, Alyssa!
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!
Yes Please add this option. It is needed. Thanks much.
Hello, adding to this thread about images to the homepage. I understand how to change the "cover photo" in settings but what I would like to know is whether I could add an image in the course description similar to an image & text block.
Also, would like to know if there are additional formatting options for text AND images. For example, changing the name of the image file so it does not scale. Looking for advanced "cheats". Thanks.
Yes, I too would like to know what options we have to add images in the course description and additional formatting options. A workaround for formatting I've been using is creating a custom table in Microsoft Word and copying and pasting that into the course description. I noticed the description can allow Unicode text symbols (think "emojis"), but it'd be great if I can import my company's brand-specific icons in the course description as well. Thanks.
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.
