Hiding lessons in Rise

Before I was an ID, I worked in IT. We had version control tools for everything. I don't know of anything in the ID world that easily mimics those capabilities, and adopting those tools from IT isn't feasible.

So, hiding lessons allows me to use a hidden page to record release notes, developer notes, other multimedia sources, etc. This way, future designers can refer to them when making course edits. There is a lot less of "Who created this? Where are there source files, what were they trying to do here?"

I can already do a similar thing in Storyline (although it's not called a hidden page). So, RISE stands out like a sore thumb when it comes to notes and version control. 

There are countless reasons that hidden pages would make sense in RISE. Plus, it can't be difficult to implement.

And the learning curve? Easy. "Click the eyeball button next to the lesson you want to hide."

I bet if we said it was necessary for ADA compliance, we'd get it tomorrow.  <-- That last part was a light-hearted joke. But I also feel like it would work. ;-)
