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

Exactly.

Hi, new to articulate. Yep, surprised that after so many years (going by this thread) that there is still no way to make an image a link. For example redirecting to a survey site I want learners to be access. I have a nice image illustrating a redirect to a survey but no way to make it a link. I do not want to use a text link at all.
Can I ask why this hasn't been created yet? With so many people asking for it and all.
Thanks

We again have had requests to have images as links from stakeholders involved in another elearning project we're building. Can I please get an update on this functionality. As creating text links is already a feature, why can't this simply be done for images? It's a standard function with almost every other authoring software I've ever used. Please can you push this to the top of the list. Out of all the other forums I've read, this one seems to be going on without any changes taking place. Building a storyline block just doesn't cut it. Slow, clunky, buggy. Please and I hope thank you very soon!!
Hi Jonny, thanks for checking in. Hyperlinked images aren't on our roadmap for Rise 360 right now, but I appreciate you letting us know you need this feature.

How can this not be on your roadmap when this request is over three years old?
What is the rational for ignoring this basic 'feature' request?

Roadmaps nowadays are focused on accessibility. Forget the other stuff everybody needs.

Like many others I got here through a google search for this functionality and, like everyone else I'm disappointed to see that, after 3 years, nothing has been done to address it.
Sadly, there are probably 10 or so other threads just like this that I've happened upon that go the same way:
-customer requests feature-canned PR response from Articulate
-more customers request feature
-canned PR response from Articulate
-customers check back
-canned PR response from Articulate
-customers continue to ask for it
-Articulate rep finally admits that they aren't even considering adding the feature
And we all get to walk away thinking of band aid approaches, alternative ways to deliver content, and left feeling dissatisfied with the product that has so much potential...
A request like this could be allowed by simply letting us put in some coding that would be displayed.

I am looking for this functionality as well. It is June, 2021.

Adding to the pile here. The work around we have done is to add a hyperlink in the caption of the image. Does it work? yes. Is it ugly? yes. Should this be a feature that Rise has? absolutely. This is a basic feature of all website design, and our LMS' can do this, Rise should be able to as well.

Resolved the issue by using the workaround "adding a Storyline block".
But it's starting to be annoying that the only solutions to a lot of my problems are workarounds founded by the community and not real solutions bringed up/added by articulate...

Four years later..... this would definitely be a great feature to have! I sure hope it comes soon!
