Expand/Collapse Sections in Rise
Hi everyone, is there a way I can expand and collapse the content of a section in Rise?
I have 15 sections with 5 lessons in each so my course has approximately 75 line items in the course preview screen.
If there is a way to collapse the sections I could reduce that greatly and make for a better user experience.
Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone,
I'm happy to let you know we released a new update for Rise 360! This update adds the following feature:
- Automatically collapse sections in sidebar and compact navigation.
There's nothing to install for web apps. New features and fixes are immediately available, though you might need to publish your Rise 360 course again.
Let me know if you have any questions about this update.

If it took a Patreon or GoFundMe effort to crowd-source and raise priority on particular issues (as noted by our learners and instructors over & over); I wouldn't even mind digging into my own pocket at this point to entertain the far-fetched idea.
Hi all,
Learners can now collapse sections of the course outline in the sidebar to see the overall structure of a course. Take a look at this quick Peek for how that'll behave, and note this is automatically included if you're using Sections within your course.
Thank you!!!

Are there any plans to have a course/navigation setting for being able to configure whether the sections are collapsed or expanded by default when the course is first viewed?
Or should I request the enhancement? Eeeek, I sound ungrateful for this feature-- not my intent. :DHi Cass,
The current set up is that they're expanded and can be collapsed by the learner if needed. We're always happy to hear how different variations on features would help you, so please definitely share your thoughts!
From what it appears that solution is looking at collapsing the sections on the learner side whereas I would really like to see the same applied to on the developer side. Also I'd like to be able to group and move whole sections. There might be a way to do both of these on the development side but I have not found it (operator error??).
The awesome news just keeps on coming! Thanks, Articulate team!
Our learners and instructors will enjoy this feature.This is great news!
Is there a setting I am missing that allows you to display the sections as collapsed instead of opened?
Thank you.
Good point

Unfortunately not-- see my post above in this thread and the reply from Ashley @ Articulate. As a result, I put a request into Articulate for this feature on 6/11. Feature Request Number: 01406935
thank you so much!
Looking forward to this enhancement.
I would agree - the ability to manually collapse is good, but doesn't help with courses that have multiple sections and subsections.
Ultimately we need to help the user get a quick mental map of the course and keep them situated. The lengthy list, or having to manually collapse each one doesn't help with this.
1. It would be great if the menu functioned like an accordion: all sections collapsed, other than the current one.
2. Ability to set collapsed/expanded on start would be awesome too...but I would settle for the first request :)
Thanks!

Astha Parmar1. It would be great if the menu functioned like an accordion: all sections collapsed, other than the current one.
Great suggestion-- this would be beneficial to our output and learner's experience as well.
Thanks, Cass and Astha for adding your voice. We'll let you here about any updates or changes.
Hi Sandra,
You are correct. We do have an open feature request related to setting the course to start with all sections collapsed. Does that sound similar to what you would like to see as well?
If not, you are welcome to share your idea and use-case directly with our team here.
As far as grouping and moving sections, you can certainly move items within your course, but not by grouping or multi-selecting. That would be an excellent idea for you to share as well.
We would love to be able to control the expand/collapse on the back end rather than just the user have the option!
Is there a way to have the sections collapsed as an initial view? As today, the sections are expanded as a default.
Hi Carlos,
There's not currently a way to start with the sections collapsed, but our team has a feature request logged for this capability and I'll make sure your voice gets added to the discussion.
In the meantime, if there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know!
