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!

Has there been an update to this. I am developing a course, where content will be available in different phases as time allows. I built content for a section and then the SME decided to hold off on the section until it could be vetted further. I don't want to delete the content but its not ready to go.
Hi Felecia. Thanks for reaching out. While we don't have a way to hide lessons in a Rise 360 courses, perhaps you could do the following:
1. Duplicate the course.
2. In the duplicate copy, remove the section that hasn't been approved yet.
3. Once the section has been approved, go back to the original course.
4. Transfer the approved section to the duplicate copy.
You can either transfer the whole lesson or create a block template and insert the template in the duplicate copy.I hope that helps.
I agree with all of the above posts. This would be a great feature. Is it on the road map for future enhancements? It seems like it is a popular request.
Wanted to add to this request as well. For me, I'd like to have branching content. So all users learn general information, and then can branch to more detailed information based on what their role requires. But I don't want everyone to think they have to go through all the additional content - just what is necessary for their role. The inability to hide lessons will make it so users think they have to do it all.
Hi Tacy,
You can use button blocks to branch to different Lessons in the same Rise course.

Hiding lessons would be incredibly helpful to ensure learners only complete the modules they need to. For example, I have a branching course where learners must select between a Procedural Space in a hospital or an Operating Room. While I can use the button stack to direct them, it would be helpful to make the modules invisible on the menu, so that they don't complete sections that they don't need to. Almost like a choose your own adventure feature. While I could do this in Storyline, my workplace insists on using Rise and has asked me to try and do this, though the feature is not available.
I would appreciate the ability to hide lessons, as well.
I have the same situation with Evan above, I have a section with PDF's that I need to link to in the course, but don't want that section visible or accessible to the learners. Anyway to hide that from the learners and not make them access it to get a completion status?
I see this post started four years ago, with no resolution. I am doing a big project where my rise project needs to have lessons released over the next few months. I to do not want to lose what I have created already, and my last resort seems to be to duplicate the materials without the lessons I do not yet want to release. Would be nice with one click to hide these.
Just commenting to echo how useful hiding lessons is. Please add it as a feature. Thank you. :)
Hello, I would also appreciate this feature - this would be great for additional content for people that are interested. Thank you for considering this feature :)
I would also love to see a hide lesson option. 2 use cases for me:
- scheduled delivery re: controlling the pace of taking lessons re: lessons become available on a schedule
- content not ready yet - bulk of a course is ready and need it out the door and have some content written for an unready one. I want what is ready available now and republish once I have the other content. I know the workaround is duplicating, but without some of the admin functionality like course status and metadata to help manage once you have a large volume of courses copies of copies, etc can cause a maintenance nightmare.
