Continue button disappearing in completed Rise courses

Hi Emma,

It sounds like you may have turned off the Next and Previous buttons and have inserted Continue blocks to allow your learners to navigate from one lesson to another. Is there a specific reason you decided to do that?

Continue buttons are set to disappear once clicked, so that’s why you’re not seeing them the second time through the course.

The easiest way to fix this would be to turn the Next and Previous buttons back on in the course settings and delete the Continue blocks.

I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Allison,

Thanks for your answer - I turned them off because at no point was there ever any pointer/indication/training which specified that the continue button was not to be used for navigating between lessons. I don't understand why the buttons are set to disappear - can you give me an example of a way to use them?

I will go back and edit my courses, thanks again for taking the time to reply.

We're experiencing this same problem. Our client at The Coca-Cola Company tasked us with building a Rise course with auto-playing narrations. Since there isn't a good solution for that in Rise (even though many people are asking for it), we discovered that including the audio in Storyline blocks allows narrations to auto-play. We added "Continue" buttons after each Storyline block to ensure they would play one at a time. Unfortunately, now that the entire course has been built, we've discovered that if a user completes a lesson and then goes back to it to review, all of the blocks play at the same time. We really need a solution for this!

Thanks, Ramraj! I just shared a reply to your other post. Let's keep the conversation going there!

Would it be possible in future updates to not only have the choice of whether the separator Continue button disappears or not on subsequent review but also to have the capability to customize it with branding/logos as well so that any Rise module can be better branded for a customers needs...

Otherwise Rise is just great and getting better all the time

Thanks for the ideas, Clive! We'll keep our eyes out for more momentum around these concepts.

We are having the same issue. We have designed multiple non-linear courses in which we use buttons to customize content and direct learners to non-linear lessons based on their input. So we need to turn off the back and next buttons. 

We can use buttons on some lessons instead of the continue button to solve this issue, but in cases where we don't want the button to appear before all interactive content has been viewed, we will have to have them click an unlocked continue button only to reveal an advance to next lesson button. That creates a pretty clunky user experience. 

Having a restart button that reset all of the continue buttons would be ideal.  

I'm not a fan of the "next/previous" button setup. I built out my course using the "Continue" buttons and was wondering why they were disappearing after completion. It would be nicer, in my opinion, to have side-by-side continue/previous buttons similar to button block, but to remove the text area. 

Hi all,

I also used the "Continue" buttons at the end of each lesson to move to the next lesson, and while is not too much of an issue for me that they disappear, I would like the option for them to persist.

Thanks,

Hi, I'm another person who doesn't love the continue buttons disappearing. I've used a branching scenario using the link buttons (before the scenario interaction was available) and therefore don't want people to be able to see everything in the menu or navigate using the menu. The continue buttons were nice and big and easy to see/ lock when required and now I have to remove them all because people can no longer see them if they have to go back to the course.
