Hi all, I would like to hide the page title areas on my Articulate Rise pages. I found this 3 minute video on the web that explains exactly what I want, but he is modifying his HTML and CSS on his local computer. I think some folks will agree that his pages look more streamlined without the title area (for some projects). http://www.learningdojo.net/articulate-rise-hiding-the-page-title-area/ I understand the basic concepts, but my file structures look different. (I would really be great if there were a feature in settings that allowed me to hide the title areas with a check block:). Can someone help me out, please. As always, thanks in advance to all the kind folks who help out. Jeff

I appreciate your input, Adam. I'm not criticizing Rise. But in the case of a video based training (like software for example), the title area is so deep that the learner must scroll to see the video. In some cases, it would be helpful to at least have a more compact title area. I would use Storyline, but I am unable to get it to be responsive across a wide range of devices (something that Rise does spectacularly). Not every project requires strict adherence to e-learning science and protocol. Sometimes a simple video explanation is the best training tool (think YouTube). Rise provides an excellent 'container' for videos with a menu that organizes everything very nicely. And most importantly it is RESPONSIVE. In some cases, making the title area more compact would create a more attractive and user-friendly interface for the learner. I can tell from your response that your not convinced, but I do appreciate your prompt and candid reply.

Agreed. We would really like to remove the titles as well. Users are complaining about having to scroll down so far to get to the content.

I made the original post and I'm glad to see some interest in this feature. In my opinion, if a course is properly developed, it is generally unnecessary to display title after title to keep the student oriented (the context of the lesson should keep the student from getting lost). But, based on Adam's original reply to this thread, his research says otherwise.

Thanks for the quick reply, Adam. I do tutorials for aircraft technicians that are often demonstrations of procedures or processes. I'm developing one now that demonstrates the procedures for building an aircraft connector (i.e., choosing the correct crimping tool, configuring the crimper, etc.). They are more or less a series of videos that are organized in sections by Rise's awesome menu. There will also be quizzes along the way. If you have ever watched any videos on Lynda.com you will get the picture. The link to the video in my last post does a good job of explaining the need to remove the title area in some cases. I think you may agree if you watch the first 30 seconds or so. I certainly have other options, but I love Rise's ability to be responsive to all devices and it's attractive interface. Thanks again for the prompt reply.

I agree that it would be great to be able to remove or at least shrink the header. It's really huge.

I'm sorry I don't have an update for you, Sean! We've had some shifts in our roadmap, but we'll let you know if we add the option to hide the lesson header in the future.

You'll have to use the CSS method mentioned earlier in this thread until Articulate actually implements something themselves (if they ever do).

Hi all,

Seems to be a couple of years since this was placed on the roadmap so wanted to see if it's still there? Being able to hide the rise standard page header is a +1 from me too. This gives us more power with design, rather than being stuck with the standard layout.

another +1 to this feature request!

Adding my voice to the requests for this feature. Would be really helpful and the CSS work-around is kind of clunky and time-consuming if you have courses that are republished on a regular basis.

Good news, everyone! We've just released a new feature that allows you to turn off the cover page when you publish for LMS to improve compatibility, streamline training, and get learners into content faster. Give it a try, and let us know if you have any questions about it!

Note: You can't hide the cover page for training created from Next Big Idea Club content templates.

A new Rise 360 feature is hot off the press! You can now turn off lesson headers from the Themes menu. Have a look at this new toggle at the top of the lesson headers section, and let us know how it works for you!

  Hi all,
  We use the L content width in our blocks where possible, to maximize real-estate on the page. We found however that the lesson headers do not align left when we do this, which looks pretty bad. As a workaround we tried disabling lesson headers and using a heading block, which does align and looks better, but there is still a block of empty white space at the top of the page where the title used to be. It seems turning the lesson titles off just hides the title text but leaves the block in place. Does anyone know a solution?
  Thanks.

Hey Jeff - can you give us some context when you'd want to hide the lesson title? In our testing, it gives the learner some much-needed context about what they are learning. Also, keep in mind that on some devices like phones or tablets (in portrait) the learner won't see the sidebar navigation open with the lesson titles.

Thanks Jeff for the context, that's helpful. We will consider the feature but it's candidly not a priority. (Even Lynda.com lists the title of the video you're watching.) Hopefully someone in the community can help you with the HTML/CSS!

  Interesting solution Adam. :-)
  
  But how can I to modify (access) the CSS style sheet? The rise projects are is online, not in a file in my computer.
  
  (and when I download my Rise projects, they are not in a standard html/css/js code; I'm not really able to edit it in Dreamweaver)

I don't understand above, why the need to scroll down to the bottom when there is a start button at the top just below the Course Title?
