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!

Articulate hits again with empty promises. Would be interesting to see how many of these suggestions are implemented because it feels like none are.

Would love to be able to hide lessons here in March 2023.

Any news on adding a hide a lesson option?
I am making a course with some sections that should only become available at a later stage.
It would really be practical to have the entire course ready and just unhide when it's the right time.
Many thanks! - BeckyHolmanCommunity Member
I asked this same question back in 2021 and am still waiting! It is a sorely needed feature. Working on copy sites to import features/lessons in is a really messy way of working.
In a similar vein, it would also be useful to have a 'hide but still accessible' feature much like Moodle does, so that we could hide lessons, but have button links to them in other pages in the Rise resource, that took the user to the hidden page, rather then have a really lengthy nav menu.

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. ;-)

I replied to this 8 months ago and still haven't heard anything. This would be a really great feature update for Rise. PLEASE consider this in your roadmap soon!

Would love to see the ability to hide specific lessons in the menu. Currently building a project where different staff require different information for only one section of the learning. Instead of having 2 different modules, could just have a button stack to choose your role then go to the appropriate lesson, and still allow for leaving the menu available for navigation/completion purposes.

July 2023 and still no ability to hide lessons?
- SethMinturn-9e3Community Member
Has this feature been considered yet for the future roadmap for Rise? I could definitely still see the applicability of a feature like this, especially if a Rise course has some branching elements from Button Stacks.

Hi Seth,
No updates yet, but we'll be sure to share it here if anything changes. You're in the right place!

We really need the ability to hide certain lessons! I have read back through this thread and there are so many people with great ideas that could use this function. Could Articulate please address these requests?
Duplicating courses is not always an appropriate option.
