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.

Yes l had viewed this, still not understanding - the start button is at the top and can be clicked on regardless of if there is a sidebar on not, so not sure what the sidebar has got to do with the Start Button?

Hey Robert,

I feel like we may be missing your question.

Are you asking about the comment that Christopher shared above or are you having difficulty with something that we are not understanding.

I am not certain, but I think I may have the same issue. Sometimes the title/header area is tall, and I have to scroll down to see the block content. It has something to do with the difference in the way a process section differs from a block section. Please see the screenshots in the attachment. They may help understand.

I'm also interested in being able to remove, minimize, or even just slightly shrink the page title area.

Exactly what my content dev team creating and instructors testing Rise courses were asking if Rise was capable of in recent meetings.

There's lots of unused white space up there, especially visible and taking up screen (scrolling) real-estate on some devices when in vertical format. Would be awesome to negate or have the option to remove the title area altogether as the OP requested w/o the need for a CSS hack.

+1 for this request.

Hi Bridgette!

Would it help if you could skip the initial menu page in your Rise presentation altogether? Are you also interested in hiding the left menu panel?

If you can tell me a little more about what you're looking to do, I'd be happy to share some tips and tricks with you!

I hid the left panel menu. What I want is to get rid of the Start Course page altogether and just start the course automatically. I am trying to use it as an interactive marketing tool to send to people.

This is also something that has come up in conversations in among our team. Would be great to hide the top without having to go into CSS.
