Image link in Rise
Why is it not possible to add a link to an image in Rise? This seems like a basic feature.

Hi JC!
What kind of lesson or block are you using? Although there isn't a feature that will allow you to hyperlink an image, you could include a hyperlink in text near the image. For example, you can hyperlink within the accompanying text in a Process Interaction. My colleague Ashley recorded a quick video of this in Peek for how to set this up!
I can certainly see a use case for hyperlinking images, and it's an idea worth sharing with our developers in the form of a feature request. Thanks for letting us know how we can make things better!

I know I can appply a hyperlink to text in the description, but it would be nice to be able to apply the hyperlink to an image, in any type of image block. Seems like something fairly straightforward!

I agree. I am trying to see if I can upload a splash screen to an eLearning and have people click on that image to launch the course... no-can-do with the current version of Rise :(
Thanks for adding your voice, Martin! βΊοΈ
Just to confirm, are you looking for an option to add a hyperlink to an image that jumps to another part of the project, or goes outside of the Rise course? I want to make sure I capture your thoughts accurately before I share them directly with our product team!

Hi Katie,
I'd like to set up a custom image and link to a) an area within the Rise course or b) an external hyperlink. The only option in Rise is to have a picture and click to enlarge it or not. This is pretty limited and I believe a pretty big oversight.
I think being able to link from images should be a basic function in Rise.
Thanks for following up!

Hi Katie,
I totally agree with Martin. Are you going to add this as a feature request or should we do it?
Thanks.
Thanks for the candid feedback, folks!
Our product team is always keen to hear about our customers' needs, so I submitted a feature request for this ability on your behalf. Feel free to share any other suggestions you have in this thread or through our feature request form here!

Thanks for sending the request Katie. I got an email confirming that. I appreciate that. Hope it'll become a feature soon.

I googled "how to link images in Rise" and i got here. Yes I'm also hoping to be able to link the image to another part of the course. Thanks all!
Thanks Wileen for chiming in. π
As a workaround for now, try using a Storyline block. Here's an example I mocked up with a Storyline slide that has an image hyperlinking to a website.
One of the things I love about 360 is how the integration of our tools makes it really easy to come up with outside-of-the-box ideas. I hope that's a solution that folks can use!

I tried this - creating an image in Storyline and adding a hyperlink to go to a link outside of the course. I needed about 10 of them, so to start with, this was a very kludgy solution. I found it behaved very inconsistently when I published and ran with SuccessFactors LMS. While most of the links worked, every time I tested the course, one or two of the links (they were different every time I published) just sat and attempted to load, but never did. There's no consistent reason for this that I could point to Storyline or SuccessFactors for the root cause, as they all used the exact same methodology, and the modules that didn't work changed every time the course was published.
I finally scrapped that methodology (many hours of work wasted) and ended up switching to using an image with text on the side and adding the hyperlink to the text. Not as pretty for the user experience, but it was effective.
Hi there, Jennifer. I'm sorry that workaround was clunky for you. I realize you've spent all the time you want to spend on it, but please know if anything isn't working the way it should with Storyline blocks, we're happy to have a closer look.
Thanks for letting us know what you did instead.

Did you build this in Articulate and then import into Rise? Newer to Rise, and trying to figure out how to hyperlink an image I have.

Everything in Rise seems to involve a workaround... it's so limited.
