Centering the Image in Rise Tab Block
Hello,
Any image inserted into the Tabs block becomes automatically left-aligned without the option to center it. Is there any way to adjust the alignment of the image?
Thanks!

Hi Sarah!
The image in the Tabs block is left-aligned by default, but keep in mind the extra white space to the right of the image will vary depending on the device you're viewing the course on. To test it, click Preview, then select Mobile Portrait.
It sounds like you would like to see more options for customizing the alignment. I can definitely pass that idea along to the product team! Thanks for reaching out. 😀

second that one. nice to bring in iconography but the alignment ruins it!

Thanks for the response, Alyssa! A few other things that I found really limiting with text blocks in Rise is the ability to format. For instance, I'm unable to hit 'Tab' to indent text and have to use the Space Bar to move text to the center of a block. This causes alignment issues when the content is viewed across multiple devices.
Also, it would be great if there was a way to make text columns as well. I improvised here in this example (image attached) but it looks terrible in mobile landscape view.
Thanks, Sarah. That's really helpful feedback. Like you mentioned, the responsive nature of Rise will cause objects on the screen to resize and flow to fit the device screen, and text that is manually-aligned won't look the same across all devices.
I'll be sure to share your ideas (along with your handy screenshots!) with my team. ☺️

The overall ability to align images and texts in Rise really needs to be reworked. The simplicity of rise is great; however, there needs to be a level of customization available.
Thanks Christopher for reaching out here. It's a similar sentiment shared by a few other users, so we're tracking all those comments and feature requests submitted here and we'll let you know if it makes our roadmap!
Hope you're loving Rise - and let us know what else you'd like to see!

I totally agree with having image alignment options in the tabs view. Even knowing the dimensions/ratio of the image space in the tab would be useful. I try to Frankenstein images with the relevant size background and crowbar them in, but never quite seem to get the ratio right.
Thanks, Benjamin, for sharing your experience. Your imagery is fantastic -- it really puts some context around how hard you're working to get your course looking its best. I've added your comments to our documentation for this feature request.
We'll update this discussion with any changes to image formatting in Rise!

Hi Is there any update with centre aligning images in tabs please? I totally understand about the white space and it will adjust according to the device but this would ensure it would centre on a desktop too. I have some learners who won't use mobile devices so this would be quite handy. I have attached a screenshot of an example. Your help would be appreciated thanks :)
Hi Zoe! We've still got our eyes on this feature request, so thanks for casting your vote! We'll let you know if we add this functionality to Rise in the future.

I'll add my voice to that vote. Guidelines for images dimensions, file size, best types, etc would be very helpful to set expectations as we're identifying what images will work or not. I'm trying to figure out the sample block picture with the paraglider fits across the entire length of the block and my pictures won't. Thanks!
