Broken Links in RISE
I have a course in RISE where I have several links to various sources.
Is there a way/tool that would allow me to check for any broken/dead links?

Hi,
Rise does not have a function to check for dead links.
We have all of our links in an Excel file and check them from there.
That's ridiculous that you have to do that, though. There should be an easier way!
Hi Beth,
It was a total pain to create the Excel file, but now it is extremely handy to have every link used in all of our courses in one place.
Just today I needed to find all the courses that used a specific video and I was able to do so very quickly.
Thanks Karl , all useful
Hi Karl
How do you guys check those links? Do you have some kind of automated tool?
Cheers
Hi Peter,
I created a VB script in Excel that checks if the URL's are valid.
There are several different ways of doing this in Excel.
I was having an issue with a Rise course in Docebo. Users said it was crashing/all content lost, while other Rise lessons in the same Docebo course were still worked just fine.
It turns out a button that should have linked to another lesson in the course was not defined and anytime someone clicked on it the entire Rise course went blank.
I would love a way to automatically check for this issue, it was really difficult to find the problem!
Hi Caron,
What testing /QA validation do you do before publishing a course to your LMS?
