Hi Kari. Yes, I apparently just created a "Lesson" and kept adding various block elements, not realizing that those should have been separate lessons within my "course".
However, I have solved it now, although it was not intuitive to do so. I pieced together explanations from other tutorials, and here's what it entailed:
I have one bloated lesson (Lesson 1) from which I want to extract its elements out into segments I will call Lessons 2-7.
I Went into my Lesson 1 and located the stuff I want to now call "Lesson 2". In edit mode, I open the Blocks tab and navigate to 'create new block template' or something like that. Then I save what I just leslected as a "New Block Template".
Then Navigate out to Course overview page and Create my "Lesson 2" and populate it with the new template I just created. Then repeat the process for every segment I want to become a new lesson.
Then after confirming all my content has been migrated out, I go back into my original (bloated) Lesson 1 and delete everything except for the very beginning section, which will now be the actual Lesson 1.
Straightforward, right? lol
It took almost as much energy to explain it as to actually execute it.
Anyway, that was the situation and how I worked around it. I have to believe there's an easier way?
Thanks for the response, Kari!

Hi James,
Glad you were able to figure it out.
I would use Block Templates. It may seem complicated the first time you use them but Block Templates is probably one of the more useful development tools in Rise.
Another way of doing it, is copy to Lesson 1 as many times as you need separate Lessons. Then delete the unwanted content from each Lesson.
I would recommend doing your initial course design outside of Rise, e.g. in a Word document.
