Glossary in Rise 360
Has anyone found a way to create a glossary in Rise 360 that is easily and readily available for learners, as needed? This can be done in Storyline 360 by including it as a resource but I haven't figured out a workaround for Rise.
Any assistance is appreciated!!

Its possible! Keep in mind Rise exports standard website files. This example shows a modification to my course that loads a simple glossary html file. Users can access via the global nav at top, from anywhere in the course.
How did you do this?
That's weird my previous response is missing. Am I being moderated? Anyway, I posted this recently in a challenge Rise notes utility | Articulate - Community
Which btw is nearly impossible to find or navigate to on this website without a direct link.
Just here to +1 to the glossary option (especially as a hover) to be added to the Articulate Roadmap.
Hello MeganBorel,
Thanks for adding your voice to the request for a glossary feature, especially as a hover option! I’ve shared your feedback with our product team so they’re aware of the interest in this functionality.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. If there are any updates that address this request, we’ll be sure to keep the community informed.
I think customers would really love to get insight into how features are prioritised - it consistently seems to be that totally new shiny things that aren't being asked for are prioritised over and above incredibly basic things that customers are screaming for (for 5,6 7,years!). Ignoring the basics is a fundamental error in customer service!
Any resource glossary option yet? I can't believe this post has been up for 5 years and still nothing. Has there been any new developments? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks!
Hi JessicaVelez-45!
Thanks for checking in on this!
I don't have any updates to provide, as our development team prioritizes other features. I've included your voice in the request! We'll be sure to notify you if this enhancement makes it to our product roadmap.
Have a great rest of your week!
I have used a storyline block to add a glossary. If published to teams folder in review 360 it can be shared across multiple courses.
The fact that storyline has this but rise doesn't boggles my mind.
Also adding to the request - a glossary or resources hamburger menu at the top would be great, or at least a highlighted word that can be clicked or hovered for a pop up explanation (not sure if this would work from an accessibility viewpoint though)
I made a custom resources script that adds in Glossary, downloads and links as separate icons. I might share it somewhere. It populates it all from a JSON file.
I think many of us would love to have a link to that resource with instructions on how to implement it! If there's anything I can do to help make that happen, please let me know. I'd be happy to host it on AWS S2 for you.
Im not loving the work around options has this been added to the roadmap yet?
First off, this is a HUGE miss in still not existing as a feature. EVERYONE would start using it immediately, and many happy people would raise a toast to Rise if it was simply ADDED TO THE TOOL (the manner in which you prioritize your roadmap and feature requests is still a mystery on the level of quantum entanglement, as far as I'm concerned).
Secondly, what I'm planning on doing for an upcoming course is to make the glossary as the FIRST lesson, and not make it required to view each individual term (I have 96 of them) in order to move on. And then each subsequent lesson I'll build as requiring completion before they can continue. This way, if a user jumps to the glossary (either via a link or a button) they are jumping BACKWARDS in the course, and then they can always return to their spot by simply moving ahead as far as the course allows, So, for example, if a learner is on lesson 5 of 9, and needs to see the definition of Quantum Entanglement, they can jump back to the first lesson, read the definition, and then use the left hand navigation to return to lesson 5, which is as far as the course will let them, as they haven't completed lessons 6-9.
Hope that helps someone!Hi George,
Thanks for reaching out about this feature. I've shared your comments with our developers so we'll update this thread with any changes!
Hi, I would also like a glossary option (or resources option as in Storyline) to be available at the top of a RISE course as a drop down or pop-up, so it can be accessible as a learner works through a course and doesn't have to navigate away from their place in the course. Any update on this?
Hello! It's 2024 - has there been a solution for a glossary yet? Thank you!
Just to echo what others have said it would be great to have a glossary function which opens whilst not losing your place in the lesson.
Hi Karyn!
Thanks for sharing how this feature could benefit you when authoring in Rise 360!
I've included you in the feature report and will update this discussion as soon as we have news to share. If you'd like to stay up to date, you can bookmark our Feature Roadmap!
