Continue button - move to next lesson?
Hi,
I'm using Continue dividers/buttons at the end of each lesson to ensure users have viewed all interactions before moving on to the next lesson. However, to actually move to the next lesson users have to click Continue, then click the next lesson footer.
Is there anyway to get the Continue divider to automatically advance to the next lesson, when clicked? This would reduce the clicks required by the end user, and make for a less frustrating experience.
Apologies if I'm missing an obvious setting!
Thanks
Dan
Hi everyone! You came up with a great idea, and we put it into action! In Rise, your continue block can now be used to navigate directly to the next lesson when it's the last block in the current lesson.
Check out our latest Rise release notes here to find out what else we've been up to lately. 😊

Thanks Crystal. This is excellent news!

Is there a way to align a button block to the left side instead of the right? We have alot of clients that want buttons instead of the default navigation and a back button on the right side is a little unintuitive to them.

Actually I'm confused. The continue button isn't advancing to the next slide even though its the last block

Just make sure that the "Previous & Next Buttons" option is checked in "navigation" options panel. I must admit, though, that it's not very clear in the Rise documentation that this option must be turned on to make the continue blocks jump to the next lesson.
We can update the instructions, but it makes sense because if the navigation is off, there's nothing to expose after the block. Also, once a block is clicked, it is no longer visible when returning to the lesson. Thus, without the default navigation, there's no way to move past the lesson (outside of the sidebar).

I have a storyline embed (on autoplay) as a last item in a lesson and i'm trying to restrict progress to next lesson till timeline completes with a continue button but it doesn't seem to reach 100% when the timeline ends. My idea was to hide it till timeline completes then display but i'm not having much luck. Wondering what i'm doing wrong.
I have 2 other continue buttons set to hide until block above is complete and they seem to work fine except for this last one.
I have navigation set to restricted and next/previous turned on.

OH. I thought it could be used without the default navigation.
Is there any plan to offer a classic nav option? Like a player whose next button is active only when you reach the bottom of the block?
I really like the new nav but all my clients hate change/learning new UI. It's pretty much forced me to use SL even if rise is a better fit.

Now that we have this "Continue" button - thank you! - I would love to see the ability to control its navigation; to have it go to a screen other than the next one, just like the buttons work in the interactive button/stack block.

Yeah I totally agree with Catherine. @Rise team, hope you can make this work :)
Thanks for the idea, Catherine! I'm happy to pass that along to our product team. 🌟

Yes please do the additional options for the Continue button - it would be great if it could be used to exit the course as well.
Thanks Libby and Nasoula.
