Here's how to change the START COURSE button and LESSON references in RISE
I just updated my website using Rise (http://stephanieharnett.ca) and made a few adjustments to the JavaScript since it isn't really a course. I changed the following:
· START COURSE button change to FIND OUT WHY
· DETAILS link to AT-A-GLANCE
· Lesson x of xx to Idea x of xx
· NEXT LESSON in footer to NEXT UP
· Lesson x in footer to Idea x
To do this, I used the following steps:
- Export as a non-LMS web page, download the zip file and extract it.
Use a script editor like Notepad++ or Sublime to edit the content > lib > main.bundle.js file. - To change the START BUTTON, move to the top of the file and use search (Ctrl F) to find the statement: overview__button
You'll see a statement like this on line 83:
("overview__button","brand--ui",{"brand--color":!c.src});return e.createElement(v.Link,s({className:p},i),n)}
Change the n to be what you'd like the START COURSE button to display. Make sure you wrap it in quotes. For example:
("overview__button","brand--ui",{"brand--color":!c.src});return e.createElement(v.Link,s({className:p},i),"FIND OUT WHY")}
Save the file and re-load the page to view the changes.
- To change the DETAILS link, move slightly to the right on line 83 or use search (Ctrl F) to find the statement: overview__details-trigger-text
You'll see a statement like this:
e.createElement("span",{className:"overview__details-trigger-text brand--ui"},"Details"),
Change "Details" to be what you'd like the details link to display, for example "AT-A-GLANCE" (keep the quotes in place).
- To change the lesson wording at the top of each lesson, move to the top of the file and use search (Ctrl F) to find the statement: lesson-header__count. This should be on line 64.
You'll see a statement like this:
r.createElement("div",{className:"lesson-header__count"},"Lesson ",t," of ",n)),
Change "Lesson " to what you’d like to display. If you don’t want the lesson numbers, remove: ,t," of ",n from the statement. For example:
r.createElement("div",{className:"lesson-header__count"},"Idea A")),
- Finally, to change lesson wording at the bottom of each lesson, move to the top of the file and use search (Ctrl F) to find the second occurrence statement next-lesson__title. This should be on line 84.
You'll see a statement like this:
r.createElement(f.Link,{className:"next-lesson__link",to:"/list/"+encodeURIComponent(t),onClick:i},r.createElement("div",{className:"next-lesson__title brand--ui"},"Next ",u?"Lesson":""),r.createElement("div",{className:"next-lesson__name brand--ui"},u?"Lesson "+o+" - ":""," ",n)
Change "Next " and "Lesson" to what you’d like to display. For the row that displays beneath, change "Lesson " to what you’d like to display. If you don’t want the lesson numbers, remove: "+o+" (including the quotes) from the statement. For example:
r.createElement(f.Link,{className:"next-lesson__link",to:"/list/"+encodeURIComponent(t),onClick:i},r.createElement("div",{className:"next-lesson__title brand--ui"},"Next ",u?"Up":""),r.createElement("div",{className:"next-lesson__name brand--ui"},u?"Idea B - ":""," ",n)
- Save the file and re-load the page to view the changes.
Hello All!
Happy to announce that you can now customize the default text labels in Rise. This gives you the ability to make built-in course elements, such as buttons and lesson headers, say what you want them to say.
Brian has started a great discussion here if you'd like to check it out and you can find our support documentation here.
As always, we keep our Rise Version History up to date too.

Something has changed in the file format and the instructions for the Start Button text really don't work.
Hi everyone! There's lots of discussion in this thread about options for changing the Start Course button. In case you want to remove the button completely, let me tell you about a new feature we just released!
We've added a toggle that allows you to turn off the cover page when you publish for LMS to improve compatibility, streamline training, and get learners into content faster. Give it a try, and let us know if you have any questions about it!
Note: You can't hide the cover page for training created from Next Big Idea Club content templates.Thanks Stephanie for sharing that idea and the steps here with other folks! Just as a reminder for anyone else, the feature to update the labels such as "start course" is a feature on our roadmap slated for Q1 2017. We'll let folks know once it's released, and when released it'll be immediately accessible to you in Rise.

I see nothing has been done and it's now six years later - congrats
Hi Gareth,
The ability to change the Start Course button (and other labels) has been made available for quite some time now. You can check out this article for more information on how to update them.

Thanks Ashley. I should have prefaced this post with "for those who can't wait". It is a hack but a fairly simple one if you just want to change the wording on the Start Button. : )

Thank you Stephanie - like you I was experimenting with my portfolio in Rise and came a cropper with these few tags I couldn't change - brilliant and thanks for sharing the easy steps - happy New Year!

Hi Stephanie, thank you for this. How will this work on a new google site where I embed my Rise course using the 'embed URL' function?
No worries Stephanie, our team can always pop in to give that type of update or information - and it's definitely a cool hack!

Awesome! Thanks Stephanie!

Does anyone have this hack for the LMS SCORM 1.2 published file? Because the lines mentioned in this hack are not the same. I'm not even able to find overview_button with a search of the code. Thanks!
Hi Molly,
I don't know if Stephanie is subscribed to receive email notifications here, but in case you could look at messaging her directly using the "contact me" button on her profile to see if she's able to share specific steps with you.

I did send a message, but I also found it. My problem was that I wasn't putting in a double underscore when searching for the content. The struggle is real when you're new to code:) Thanks!

Worked like a charm Stephanie...you're brilliant!! Thank you!
