Cover Photo Change
How do you change the photo on the cover?
Can you adjust the size of the photo?
Also, can you have tables in Rise?

Great questions, Jadra!
You can change the cover photo by clicking Settings, then clicking Add Cover Photo. You can choose to upload a photo from your own files, or browse the beautiful stock photos in the library. If a cover photo is already in use, you can click the trash icon to remove it.
Since Rise is responsive, it seamlessly flows to adapt to any screen size. In other words, your images may have different dimensions as they adapt to different devices and orientations. That being said, you don't have the option to resize images since they may not fit correctly on all devices. The best option is to use the highest quality images that you can--the larger, the better!
Since you asked about tables, take a Peek at this handy demo from my colleague Justin. That will get you started in the right direction!
This button is not available for me under the settings
Hi Angelo,
That function has moved to the THEME tab.
Select THEME, and then Cover Page.
To the right of the Course Image thumbnail, select Edit.
Any chance a .mov will be able to be added instead of just an image?
Hi Milissa. Rise 360 cover images can only be an image file. Video files aren't currently supported. If support for video files in cover images is something you'd like to see in the future, you can chime in with a feature request.
In the meantime, for an effect that's similar to the look of video, a lot of folks go with animated gifs for their cover images, which are supported. To learn more about using animated gifs for cover images, check out this article: How to Use GIFs as Cover Photos in Rise (with Free GIFs!)
Hi,
I'm trying to upload a photo as a cover for my Rise 360 course but I keep on getting this message?
Please verify the file type is an image and try again.
What image file type are you using? Are there any spaces in the file name?
I want to replace my cover photo in Rise but there is no "upload photo" button showing under Settings. I'm working in Chrome.
Helen, you are correct. You first need to delete the current cover photo. Then the Add cover photo button will appear.
How do we delete the cover photo please?
Hi Angelo,
Choose a Cover Page layout that does not use an image.
I love it when the answer is simple - thanks!
I don't even have the option to change settings. At the top of the page, the only button I can see is "preview", despite the fact that I am the author of the course.
Carol, who is the Owner of the course?
Help! I'm doing a "trial" of Rise 360 and love it so far. I want to add a cover photo, but when I go to Settings and Cover photo, it just has a blurb about the feature, but does NOT say "Add Cover Photo". Is it NOT available because I'm just doing a trial?
Hi Felicia,
Do you not see the ADD COVER PHOTO button?
Nope, look at the screen shot I've attached.... Unless I've gone blind,
there is no option to Add Cover Photo.
Hope you can help!Thanks, Felicia
Hi Felicia! If a cover photo has already been added to your course, there will be no Add Cover Photo button but you will have the option to delete the existing one.
Is this what you're seeing in your course settings? If not, would you mind sharing your screenshot again so we can see what's happening? Thanks!
Hello Lea:
Finally, someone understands my issue! Thank you! To answer your
question, YES this is exactly what I'm seeing. There isn't an option for
me to Add Cover Photo and I'm not sure how to delete it. Instructions
please?And thank you so much again... I'm loving Rise 360! I am able to navigate
everything, even uploading my documentary film to my course. Just having
trouble with the Cover Photo. Also,
how do I add a "quiz"?Thanks, Felicia
