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.

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.

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.

Since staff doesn't give a...nything about that simple problem, I'm coming with a little rescue. Maybe not the most elegant, but working.Steps to do:1. Export your Rise course to your computer2. Edit file index.html in notepad or similiar3. Right before </body> at the end of the document paste one of the following:Video: <script type='text/javascript'>var obj = document.createElement('video');obj.src = 'your_video_source.mp4';obj.setAttribute('id', 'example_video');obj.setAttribute('width', '600'); // 600 is the container width. It of course can be overriden and produce bigger video, but that's not the time for this.obj.setAttribute('height', '337'); // 16:9 proportion to 600px wide.obj.setAttribute('controls', ' ');obj.setAttribute('poster', 'your_video_poster_img.jpg');obj.setAttribute('preload', 'auto');setTimeout(function(){ var ovi_cont = document.getElementsByClassName("overview__main-col"); ovi_cont[0].prepend(obj); }, 1000); </script> Img: <script type='text/javascript'>var obj_img = document.createElement('img');obj_img.src = 'your_image_source.jpg';obj.setAttribute('id', 'example_img');obj_img.setAttribute('width', '600'); // 600 is the container width. It of course can be overriden and produce bigger image, but that's not the time for this.obj_img.setAttribute('height', 'set_your_height_in_pixels'); // to keep it nice lookingsetTimeout(function(){ var ovi_cont = document.getElementsByClassName("overview__main-col"); ovi_cont[0].prepend(obj_img); }, 1000);</script> 4. You can put your image/video file right where the index.html file is, then your source would be simply the name of the file. 5. The setTimeout function is what makes it not 100% elegant, as you have 1s delay before showing the image/video. You can try to adjust 1000 to 500 or something. It's that way because the page must first load to show "overview__main-col" in DOM, and it's not immediate. 6. You can also add tag <style> and style your produced img/video with CSS.

I'd like to put in a request for the ability to add images to the course description as well!

It would be nice to be able to give a visual overview of the course in the course description. Looking forward to that feature :-).

Team, can we have some update on this? It has been 5 years for such a basic functionality.

Is this feature request being actioned on, or is it the same one from over six years ago? Thanks for resurfacing today. I submitted a request for this three years ago. :)

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.

Has there been any update on adding an image in the course description?? This request has been made several times over the past few years.

I'd also like to request more flexibility on the cover page. We currently are having to edit the cover after export for a number of client deployments. We also have numerous requests from partners and clients asking for a larger logo and the ability to add more than one. If this page had similar functionality to the other pages in Rise we would be able to do all this without incurring extra time and expense and we'd have much happier clients and partners.

Having to tell them right at the start of an engagment that we will add your logos and pictures later is not ideal at all. It's the first thing they see when they review and is very important in creating a positive initial impression.
