How do I remove course image from the new theme section
Essentially, what the title says!
I'm just about to export a collection of Rise courses which act as modules within a larger course in our LMS, but now any Rise course I touch gets a blatantly stock image assigned to it.
Yes, I know I can replace these but for consistency, we are just sticking with brand colours. Is there a delete option?
I was just about to ask the same thing!
Further to this, every time I open an existing course, the image that displays in the dashboard changes from the flat colour I had previously specified to a stock photo.
I have had to create a 1px square SVG image in the colour of my choice and have specified this as my 'cover image' but I don't think this should be necessary. Please can we have the option to roll without an image?
I'm looking at doing the same thing. It's frustrating.
Hi Emma!
Rise Themes are super flexible now and give you tons of options. If you want a cover page with no image, just select one of those from the Cover Page section.
The problem is, that if like me, you have an existing course that doesn't require a cover image, the image is replaced by the custom theme colour. In my case, this is what I want. However, every new course I open with those existing settings, now by default has a cover image loaded in to it that displays on the Rise dashboard thumbnail, regardless of the settings shown in your example above.
A way to remove this woiuld be well received!Thanks, David! You're correct -- the pre-selected course image you're seeing on the main menu page while editing isn't used anywhere in the course unless you select a theme that uses a cover image.
However, you will see the pre-selected image on the course card. Feel free to change that image to something that makes sense for your course!Here are a few screenshots to help explain what I mean:
1. The pre- selected image appears on course main menu page during editing:
2. The image does not appear on the course itself (unless you select a theme that uses it):
3. The image appears on course card on the main Rise 360 dashboard:
Thanks for the reply. My frustration is that I have numerous courses that have previously only had a flat colour that has been used as the course card in the dashboard, the colour was taken automatically from my theme's accent colour when I hadn't specified a cover image, usually at the request of a client's brand guidelines.
Having to specify a replacement image across all of these courses is an unwelcome new step that I'll have to undertake whenever I open an existing course. For example, this morning I've had to add a 1px square SVG as my cover image, just to have the course cards in my dashboard look how my clients like them to look when I transfer ownership of the courses.Personally I think this is an oversight that should be tweaked to allow for a course to roll without an image in the course card, and instead, allow for a flat colour as many existing courses already have. I don't think it's right that people with existing courses are required to make changes to get around the effects of new functionality.
+1 to what David is experiencing, including the frustration he has expressed.
This is a poor rollout of this feature.
Exactly the same frustrations as David has explained above, I do not have the option to remove the course image on existing courses which seem to have now adopted the image which was used for the front page. Any help on removing the course image (not changing it) would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I have the same frustration this morning. I can't use any course I need to publish TODAY for final approval. These courses also all need a flat color, and using the steps listed above by staff does not fix the issue.
Hey folks - thanks so much for the feedback. It sounds like while the cover image doesn't show for your learners, during the authoring, collaboration, and review process it's creating some extra work and communication for you.
We hear your comments, and please continue to share here!
This is a terrible feature. Please consider rolling this one back. New "features" are supposed to make our jobs easier, not more frustrating. There are already so many features out there that customers have been requesting for years that haven't been implemented, and yet you release these changes that nobody asked for. If you're going to just keep the feature anyway, at least consider making it so that it doesn't retroactively change existing trainings.
