Interface Changes Coming Soon to Rise 360 Block Formatting
We’ve been listening to your experiences using the new block formatting features and we’re making a few minor alterations to the Rise 360 interface to make it even more user-friendly!
When enhanced block customization options were released, we moved formatting and background to two tabs, accessible via the Design icon on the right-hand side of the interface:
We underestimated the impact that moving these options to the right would have on how you use Rise 360. So we're doing two things: moving style and format options back to the left and giving them their own one-click menus. That's right—no extra tabs to click!
The first icon in the new left-hand toolbar is Content (the pen icon). This replaces the Edit button and is where you'll find all the content editing tools.
Style (the artist's palette icon) is where you'll find block background options.
And Format (the protractor icon) has block padding options.
We hope these changes restore balance to your workflow and make these new features easier to use than ever.

Hi Renee,
Sorry to hear that you ran into this issue. I responded to you in another post here, and I included a link in my response so you can learn more about the incident that caused the behavior. Once again, we are sorry for the inconvenience this caused, and feel free to open a case with our support team here if you have any questions or clarifications regarding the incident.
I appreciate the attempt to problem solve the issue of the format buttons blocking text on standard laptop screens, which has been frustrating me. I'll add that the suggested solution of zooming out means the text becomes smaller, which is not a realistic configuration to write in for a lot of us for a variety of reasons.
Thanks for your responsiveness to this, Rise folks. Hope to see another iteration on this otherwise cool feature soon!
The Grammarly tool has a system where it has various locations around the field that you can pin the control surface because it often is in the way. Perhaps Rise could have a similar system- pinning the edit control surface to a part of the window that is convenient for me rather than dictating a position and having to work around it.
Thanks, @Sasha - this is an "almost" cool feature. And it really is not a good solution to ask users to zoom out. I, too, look forward to a better solution as this is a constant irritant as I write.
As of this morning, our subheadings with paragraph blocks are missing texts in the last block of our courses (45).
Subheadings with paragraphs (and bullets) have been magically turned into subheadings only. When we change it back to a subheading with a paragraph it does not bring the text back. We have a block template containing the text. When added it strips the bulleted content off. Any suggestions?
