Customizing Numbered Dividers
Some of my lessons in Rise have a series of multiple-choice questions after a few blocks of content. Before each question, I've inserted a Numbered Divider. When I add a new numbered divider, it continues to number it based on the last numbered divider - even though it was a few blocks above. It would sure be helpful if it would allow me to customize the numbers. Does anyone have a workaround for this?
I second the request to change the numbers in the numbered dividers!
Please add me to this list as well. I'm developing a course and have also added some informal knowledge check type questions after the lessons above and tried to renumber the divider only to (sadly) see that it was not possible.

You can use my custom block template for numbering your dividers, here's how its done:
Wonderful - thank you so much!

Glad to see that Phil was able to help you out! Also, your contact information came through as well. This Peek video will show you how to edit it out if you’d like!
Phil, you just blew my mind about using the dev tools and then saving the custom blocks! I love custom blocks and didn't even think that saving a new custom block would save the custom styling too! Awesome! Thanks! I still hope that Articulate could just add a parameter in their numbered divider block for what number to start with.
Also, I saw that your WYSIWYG editor was glitching in your video. I have a support ticket in with support for this very same thing. It happens randomly, but consistently random if that makes sense. They have logged it as a bug.
Thanks for the feedback Lee, it is good to document these sporadic issues so I'm glad I captured that plus the fix (refresh). And I think it falls into one of the two biggest bug/requests we see in Rise:
- Froala. This is the 3rd party software (text editor) that Rise uses. If its a Froala issue, Rise doesn't seem to fix or improve it. It's not their software, after all.
- Backwards compatibility. What happens tomorrow when a new feature is added to a block you added to a lesson 5years ago? Will it break? Not load? Some features that seem simple to add might be very difficult to safely add to the Rise codebase without corrupting old courses.
Hello Darlene! There currently isn't a way to customize the Numbered Dividers.
However, we are tracking a request for the ability to modify the numbers on the Numbered Dividers. I'll add you to the list so that you'll get notified if this feature gets released or if we make changes that will help.
+1 for this feature request.
I would also love this ability, I often have multiple sets of steps within the same section of a course
Bumping this request as well. Thanks!
This is a pretty basic request! Please allow us to modify it
Add me to the list please.
