Hiding lessons in Rise
Does anyone know if you can hide lessons in Rise, and then unhide them later? We have some system enhancements going live in August and some in September. I dont want to have to delete any lessons i've already created.
Thanks!

Hi Jenna,
That isn't yet a feature of Rise, but sounds like a really neat idea! I'll share it as a feature request for you (you'll see an email confirmation of this soon).
Are you sending users the Share link, or exporting it for LMS/Web? If you're doing the latter you could look at duplicating the course and deleting the lessons you don't need. That would give you two copies which you could then swap on your site come September.

Any update on this?
Hey Kristen!
It sounds like you're also interested in a "hide lessons" feature, is that right? Can you tell us more about how that feature would come in handy for you?
We're tracking these requests, so I appreciate you letting us know how we can make Rise better!

I want to hide my lesson as a possible workaround for not having a resource
option as you do in Storyline. I want to use a button for the learner to
access content in a different lesson (acting as the resource folder for a
few files they may need). Not every learner will need these so I do not
want to have it set as visual lesson.Hi there, Kristen. Thanks for describing what you need! Have you considered creating a button stack block that you can attach on the end of blocks lessons where needed? If you saved it as a block template, it'll be readily available to reuse across lessons!
Depending on how you build your course navigation (buttons versus using the built-in previous and next options), you could only show those resources to learners when clicked.

Hi,
Is this a feature yet? I have course which is ready to go live with some core elements. There are some further sections that aren't quite ready, so hiding them would be really useful. If not i'll duplicate them across to a working version of the course.
Hi there, Gemma. Hiding lessons is not currently a feature. Duplicating your course for the future version would be a great alternative!

It's been 8 months since any one asked this question - have there been any updates on availability to hide lessons that are not complete, but let users view what is complete? I don't relish the idea of deleting content and not sure about trying to manage two courses. Any hints are welcome
Hi Gina! Thanks for checking in. We haven't made any changes to the Rise 360 sidebar menu options. We'll let you know if we add the ability to hide lessons in the future!

I am wanting to also hide lessons. I want students to only see week 1 and not week 2 and beyond until week 2. Is there a way to do this currently? Amy
Hi Amy! When you publish Rise 360 content, all lessons will be visible, so there isn't a way to hide individual lessons in a course.
I'd love to hear more about how you're delivering this course to learners. Are you using a learning management system?

No, I am not using an LMS.
My trainings have all been in person.
I am just now learning how to convert to online.
I am independent consultant.
Articulate is great but a bit pricey for me.
I was hoping to avoid also purchasing an LMS.
Do you have any LMS recommendations?

Like everyone else, I wound up here trying to hide lessons and won't even ask if any updates have been provided; been down that road before, however, there might be a work around I don't know about. My reason for wanting to hide lessons is because I'm trying to use certain content as landing pages which are only accessed by a button stack link function. I want to use the side navigation menu but don't want the landing pages as part of that menu (thus hidden). I only want these landing pages accessed via the button stack and don't want the students to have access them through a progression. Can block templates be accessed in this way (meaning linked to a button stack but out of view from the student?)
Hi James!
Thanks for reaching out! Sorry, there isn’t a way to link a button stack to a block template unless you insert that template as a lesson in the course itself, and there isn’t a way to hide individual lessons in the sidebar menu.
If we make any changes that help though, I'll be sure to reach out here!
