Changing Margins
Is there a way to change the margins in Rise. Also, I'm working with an image/text - the imagine is the right size; however, the margins for the text is way too small.
Also is there a way to change the spacing; i.e., there's way too much space between paragraphs, bullet points, etc.

Hi Sandy,
It sounds like you're hoping to change the margins within the text itself, not the overall margins for the Rise lesson? I know both ideas have been shared with our team as a feature request, so I want to link your discussion to those requests and we'll keep you posted here if they're added to Rise.

Good morning. I’ve created a labeled graphic of a telephone with 12 markers. Each marker has text and a picture attached to it. I’m only having trouble with one marker. When I’m trying to type the text or numbering items, everything disappears as tho it’s not there (the typing area is white). However, when I preview it, the text and picture are there. I deleted the marker and recreated it and the same thing happened.
What am I doing wrong? Please help. ☹

Hi Ashley
Can you please advise if this is something that will be looked at further? Currently the text within a Rise course is around 50% of the available area; however a picture will use all available space. It would be great if all the area is able to be utilised so that students do not have to scroll as much. I have attached a screen shot. Thanks.
Hi Michelle,
Thanks for your feedback! Would you be up for logging a feature request to tell us more about your specific needs?
In the meantime, if there’s anything else I can do to help, please let me know!

Hi, has there been any movement in terms of widening the text margins. Currently getting used to Rise but unable to reduce text margins left and right

Hi Jonny! We don't have any updates to share at the moment but as soon as we do, we will post an update here. Thanks.
Hi Sandy,
Thanks for bringing this up! Are you seeing this problem in Chrome?
If so, we've seen the same problem, particularly when there is enough text in the marker to create a scroll bar and when using Chrome.
Until we get a fix in place, other Rise users found you can work around this issue by zooming out a bit in the Chrome browser. Let me know if that helps you!
One more thing: you can edit out your contact information from your post if you'd like! Replying via email will include your signature.

Hello all,
I must say that while I love Rise, I really dislike the different left-hand margins of the blocks. The inconsistency is awful. If you use a Statement D block, the margin is a lot smaller than a Text or 2 Column text block.
I've found that I can use a Statement D block like a paragraph block and reduce it's font size if I'm going to use a Text and image block below it, as the margins will match. But I always try and use blocks that have similar margins together, so that it doesn't jump around too much.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a consistent margin and block width for all blocks? The Statement D block and Image Centered blocks are wider than the Paragraph text and 2 column text blocks.
What I'd really like is to be able to set the overall content width in Rise, and have consistent margins for all.
Thanks :)
Thanks, Barry. We're tracking the request for more control over padding and margins, and I've added your perspective to our report.
We'll let you know if we release any changes that help!

+1 for all issues regarding inconsistent margins and the overly compressed nature of text in particular, especially considering more and more users have wide monitors. We should be able to specify these margins and padding on our own. These are very basic requests.

Heya, just adding my voice to this request. Extendable margins (or at least consistent margins!) would be very helpful to look and feel.
- DebsChurcherCommunity Member
Ditto - having control over left/right margins would be amazing or at least have consistent margins. Please add this to your roadmap :)

+1 to making L-R margins consistent across blocks at minimum and making them adjustable ideally.
The issue depicted in the attached seems more like an error than an inconsistency. When viewed in editing or preview mode on my laptop, the margins in image + text blocks are inconsistent when switching from having the image on the L or the R. When previewed on the horizontal tablet version, they are aligned. This happens in both of the courses I've checked.

Thanks for all your feedback, we're taking note of it and we'll update this thread once we make changes that will help!
- MargaretRich393Community Member
Hazel please look at the rest of my message and attachment; I think there's an error/bug in the image + text block.
Hi Margaret! What you're seeing is expected behavior. If you click-and-drag the edge of your browser window left and right, you'll see the margins shift depending on the width of the browser.
