Can you change the font size of the module headings on the home page in Rise?
In relation to an Articulate Rise project, I have a client who wants two things:
1. The module headings on the homepage in Rise to be larger - is this possible? The complaint is that they "just look too small", "don't stand out enough".
2. The "Details" link in the homepage banner to link to a particular module. (or to be able to have a link to a particular module.)
Is this possible?
Any assistance greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi Silvia!
The lesson headings on the course main page are set at a default size, but it sounds like you'd like to have more flexibility to format that text. I can pass that idea along to our Product team for you!
The Details link on the course main page directs to the introductory text just below the title. You could remove the Details text from the home screen and instead create your own Details button using a Button Block. Here's a sample of what that could look like!

I agree that the font size of the Section Headings in the TOC and on the 1st page need to be editable in size and color. I appreciate the css hack listed below... the only limitation I have with that is asking clients to review it using Articulate Review where I can't have the css edited during their review... but I can do it elsewhere and show them a screenshot of what it will look like. That's why having it native to Rise would be most appreciated.

Thanks for your help. Yes, if you could pass it on to the product team that would be great.
Thanks for your example. To elaborate further, my clients want students to be able to navigate to either of 2 pages from the homepage:
1. an "index page" which contains details about the content of each section, together with LINKS to those sections.
2. a support page with further information (a careers resources / support page).
3. ideally, they don't want students to see all the sections on the homepage (they say it is too confusing), rather they just want the above 2 links on the homepage.
Thanks again Alyssa!

You can edit the published files to make the headings look however you like. Ideally you'd do this in a new css file (and import that into your index.html file) but to keep it simple you can add the following code straight into the index.html file.
.overview-list__title-content {
font-size: 1.2em;
color: #4BAAF4;
}Add the above either to a custom CSS file or to the following section of the index.html file:
@media (max-width: 47.9375em) { /* 768px */
.brand--max768--background { background-color: #4BAAF4 !important; }
.brand--max768--border { border-color: #4BAAF4 !important; }
.brand--max768--color { color: #4BAAF4 !important; }
}
<ADD THE ABOVE CODE HERE>
</style>
<div id="app"></div>The sample code i have provided also gives the heading a color so just remove the color line if you don't want to change that. I used the same color as my custom theme and it looks pretty good I think (you'll find the HEX value for your color scheme in the index file so just copy and paste that). You can also adjust the 1.2em size to whatever you like e.g: 0.8 will be smaller, 1.4 will be bigger and 2.1 will be bigger still.
Here's an example of how it looks:

Hey Silvia,
Since you mentioned you don't want students to see all the sections on the homepage, check out the example Zsolt created over here. He even included a tutorial to show you how it's done!
- SilviaVogelCommunity Member
Hi Alyssa,
Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know about this! Looking through Zsolt's excellent instructions, I notice that point 8 says "Export your course (no LMS)". I need to export to SCORM as it will run on our institutions' LMS (Moodle). Would you have any suggestions on this point?
I'm thinking it might be suitable to use the combination of Stewart and Zsolt's hacks.

Hi Alyssa or Stewart,
Do you know if it is possible to create hyperlinks that would go to other sections within a Rise project?
- StuartMarshall-Community Member
After making the edits did you zip the top-level folder? If so then that will be the problem. It is the individual files and folders within the top-level folder that you need to zip together.
- StuartMarshall-Community Member
You can certainly add a button item into a Rise course and point it to another section in the same Rise course. Don't think you can do this for hyperlinks within a text block though.
- SilviaVogelCommunity Member
Yes, was wondering and thought that was the case, pity... I'd like to use hyperlinks in a Tabs block, that would link to different sections in the Rise course. Thanks Stuart. Wonder if anyone has found any hacks for this??
- SilviaVogelCommunity Member
Hi Stuart, sorry, yes I did zip the top level folder. Have now re-zipped individual files and folders and it worked! Brilliant, thank you!
Thanks Heather for weighing in on this idea - it's not something we've implemented yet, but always helpful to know how this would help your course development.
- SilviaVogelCommunity Member
Hi Heather, yes agree, having it native in Rise would be fantastic. I have had so many clients wanting bigger font size options for the TOC. Thanks for keeping us updated Ashley.
