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?
Hello Everyone!
I'm happy to share that we just released a new update for Rise 360!
This update introduces an enhancement where you can select a number at which to restart sequential numbering for numbered divider blocks. There's nothing to install for web-based apps. New features and fixes are immediately available.
Please let me know if you have any questions!

Agreed! Please add me to the list. I'm working on a multi-sectioned course where the learner reviews a scenario and is then tasked to answer questions about it throughout the course. It would have been nice to have custom numbered dividers tell the learner where they are in the process.
Yes, please. This seems like a very basic feature but will definitely be useful.
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.
Joining this request.
When are you going to fix this???
Yes, please add this feature!
Please add this feature. I am running through the same problem where I want to use the same number but in a different section of a lesson.
Last bump seems like a year ago. Has there been any progress on this? I'd like to be added to the list as well please.
Hello MatthewWiebe! This functionality hasn't been added to modify the numbers in the Divider block. I'm going to share this as a feature request with our team! In the meantime, you might consider adding a Continue block and modifying the text to include numbers. It isn't an exact match, but just an idea!
I asked copilot how to change the number and it led me here. I am in disbelief at how long folks have been asking for this change. I am adding my request to please make this customizable. Thank you.
