Hyperlink to other parts of a course?
Is there anything available that allows for hyperlinks/# to another part of a course?

I, too, would find this feature to be helpful. Have there been any developments on this? Many have expressed interest over the past few years.

The "Continue" button should have the option to link to a specific page. But I guess it never will.
Nothing on the https://articulate.com/support/article/Articulate-360-Feature-Roadmap.

I'd be interested to know as well if there are alternatives as I mainly use Rise360 but things like not being able to add a company logo to microlearning not being able to hyperlink seem like things that should naturally be included but as has been pointed some changes have been asked for over 4 years ago and no sign of an update. The program is a significant cost for a small business.

There's a good reason Rise can't easily add this feature, it has to do with the nature of how the navigation works in Rise- the courses are built on https://react.dev which uses the hash in the url you may have noticed in your courses, to manage the navigation. This prevents you from adding a regular html anchor link.
So you need to use javascript. I call this a 'jump' menu in Rise. This is why I like Rise so much, its the perfect platform to add/improve upon.

Hello, please can you share how you did this? Did you add the custom menu as a Web Object or did you embed the course in an HTML Wrapper?

Yes Harry
Buttons can link to an external webpage, an email address, or an internal location in your course. You can also modify them to let learners in LMS courses exit the course altogether.
Link to an External Webpage
- From an existing button block, click Edit or click the button whose label you want to change.
- Choose Link to a webpage from the Destination drop-down list.
- Enter the URL address of the page to which you’d like to link.
Now, when learners click the button, a new tab will open in their browser and take them to the specified webpage.

Keep in mind that when you hyperlink to another Lesson within a course, that it's a one-way only link.
Once the hyperlink has been followed by a learner, there is no quick way for them to return to where the hyperlink originated as there is no related "back" function.

They can use the side menu to return to a lesson.

I was more referring to things like sub-lessons, etc.

I too need this feature. If I can't get this in Rise, I will have to move to Storyline. This is something learners expect from the training. What is the point of hyperlinking and not being able to get back?

Agree, this would be a big help!
