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 sto...

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.
