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.

So is that a 'yes' or a 'no' to being able to hide the title bar at the top of each lesson?

Do Articulate work on small feature update on a priority basis. Hide page title is a small update pending at Articulate development site for last 3 years. Can we expect early now?

  Hi SibaPrasad. Our development team evaluates feature requests alongside their queue of bug fixes, new features already on the roadmap, and other projects. The number of folx requesting a feature is one of the many factors we consider, and so thank you for adding your voice.

I too would love this feature. We design courses for different job titles and we are not the SME's just the designer of the materials. I have found where you can hide your name, which is good. I would like to add my own title page, something interactive even. I watched a training where a women used a dog gif in her course. It looked so fun. I want the ability to do that too.

Hi Heather! Is this sample course by Sarah Hodge the one you had in mind? You can definitely use a GIF on your title page like she did! Check out that discussion thread for all the details about her project.

  Hi, Alyssa! Broader customizations to things like hiding page titles should be standard in Rise. These things can easily be done with CSS, but to avoid us having to go into the code and modify it, it would be good to have a simple checkbox for hiding the page title.
  
  USE CASE:
  
  I often build stand alone blocks that I would like to embed inside of my website. Rather than having them open in a new window, I would like the end user to be able to interact with them on the page. Labeled graphics are perfect for this purpose. By being able to hide the page title would make the process much easier.

Hi, this discussion was started almost 4 years ago and I'm having the same challenge today. Has there been any movement on the request/option to hide/remove the page title section? Although I can appreciate there is a work around, it just seems the ask to allow or disallow this option would be well worth it.

Thanks
