How do I remove course image from the new theme section

Adding to the frustration here.  I have a large library of courses and I don't want the new images to appear in my library.  Its super distracting and implies that the image appears to users.  THE IMAGE SHOULD NOT APPEAR IN THE COURSE LIBRARY UNLESS SELECTED BY THE AUTHOR!

One issue we are seeing is that the Course Owner is the only one with the functionality to change the image and update the theme. It would be better if the owner and the manager had the functionality as we are now limited to only one person updating all of these new images. 

Fully agree - why are we not seeing the features so many of us are requesting but yet more stuff that is not very helpful and even a step backwards!! We don't need content - we have enough of our own to create, we need NEW features like upgrading the pdf outputs for example!

We really appreciate the honest feedback you've shared here, everyone! We’re working on disabling course images from showing on your dashboard when you have the course accent color selected for your cover image layout. We'll let you know as soon as we make that change! 

Alyssa - thank you.

This is not a welcome feature. It is creating a lot more work for me. 

Thanks for the quick action, Alyssa! 

Aside from this issue, the Theme feature looks interesting. It's nice to have more variety in the layout options, for sure.

Adding my voice here to follow the resolution of this issue. Thanks for your quick willingness to address. 

I have posted already extensively my opinion of the priority of releasing this feature before many others i can think of... However, i welcome this feature in the following scenarios:

For companies, using internally and externally one brand.
This is a first step towards possibly? having global ( branding one for all in the team ) branding controlled from one place., from the admin, as it should in this scenario. Developers in the team should not have the option to mess with branding. Or even have to be concerned about it, at least not from the system look and feel point of view, Uploaded content is another matter. They still need to learn/consult the branding book.

As developer with various customers - provided that the team leader (main admin) can assign rights to turn of the global branding setting in any new courses..and dont effect existing courses in doing so..
Then i think, again, the themes feature does have the humble beginnings of what can become  some good and interesting options for course look and feel differentiation.

I have read the comments and i expected this when seeing the feature and how it was implemented. I happened to see it very early i think. The "whats new page" had no info on this when i checked it for descriptions of the feature. 

But true to Articulate tradition i have seen so far, they do listen and will gradually improve. This time it might be more urgent for some user scenarios, but still, in a few months time and hopefully some updates along the way, the themes feature will be a natural part of the new rise experience. Overall a good thing.

Also i wanted to share the video provided  - internally in the companies E-learning developer forum, but i could not figure out how to get the link the video. Maybe the link can be posted by support for sharing?

Hi everyone! Thank you again for your honest feedback. We've made changes to the cover page behavior that was released with the new Theme features.

Course cards on your dashboard will reflect the option you've selected for your cover page layout. We've also removed the cover image from the outline when editing your course.

This means that if you've selected an option without an image, you won't see any cover image we've suggested on your course cards. I hope this helps, and please let us know how else the new Theme features are working out for you!

(edited to note that we've removed images from the course outline entirely, regardless if they're selected in the cover page layout)
