Exit or Close Button?
I haven't seen an option for this anywhere. Am I missing something?

I have 16 courses in hold pattern for an exit option. An option for now, is to create another lesson and label it "Exit Course" and then just insert a quote or text instructing user to exit window. Any other ideas?
We're working on some final touches and testing of this Exit button -- so I'll keep you posted here!
Steve, I'll be interested to hear how your idea works in the meantime, please let us know how it goes!

Oh so close...So I thought I had a workaround until the exit button arrives... I created a very raw "lesson". (see: https://rise.articulate.com/share/rGQCn5im1CLUJiTtlxwjosw31JR4KquS#/?_k=4eafa1) then use that URL in the button destination "link to web page" BUT I was not aware that changing the label text is a global attribute with Rise. Which brings up a different question regarding how Rise interacts with all courses. If I have clients requestion different labels...I would not be able to do so. Global settings make sense to me if it is within a particular grouping not across all Rise courses. So I quickly returned the labeling which affected the intent of "exit course" of course. ;) Did I miss something?
Hey Steve!
I have good news for you - Rise labels are specific to a course, not all Rise courses. Changes you make to text labels impact all your Rise courses that use the same label set.
So for example, if you edit the built-in English label set, every course that uses that label set with automatically get the same changes.
We recommend creating a new label set when you need to customize them so you won't accidentally change the labels in other Rise courses. (For reference only: Click here to download a complete list of default English text labels.)
Hope that helps!

This "exit button" option isn't seamless since it opens up in another window/tab. This "lesson" needs to stay within the course to be effective. Can you create hidden lessons? Man...really need the exit button, excited for its arrival!
Ooo, I don't know if this meets your needs - but have you seen Zsolt's solution here for hiding lessons in the menu?
If that's still not what you need - we're targeting the end of this month for the Exit/Close button in Rise. I'll keep you posted!

Thank you Ashley Terwilliger, I will take a look--have an awesome Wednesday!
Hi, all!
Great news! We pushed out the “Exit” button for Rise courses last night.
You can set buttons in block lessons to leave the course, or add an ever-present link when you export the course that lets learners return to an LMS.
I recorded a quick Peek video to show the two options for adding the Exit feature to your Rise course!
Hope that helps and keep us posted! 😁
