Internal Links in Rise Courses
I am currently developing an electronic User Guide in Rise and in Section 2 of the guide I cover System Operation. This section includes a list of topics in two columns, followed by nineteen separate blocks that cover each of the topics. What I would like to be able to do is to use the list of topics as an interactive contents list such that each topic provides a link to the appropriate block below it and takes the user directly to their topic of choice when it is clicked on in the list.
Although I am aware of how to create links to external URLs, I cannot find a way to develop internal links within a Rise course to enable me to achieve the desired outcome for my User Guide. Does anyone out there have any ideas?
If this is not currently possible, I would like to recommend it for a future upgrade as I believe it could prove a popular addition to Rise.

I totally agree Andrew, it would be so useful. English is not the first language for many of our learners and they would love this feature.
A tooltip is a great idea Glenna, these have been around almost since the beginning of the internet :-).
Unfortunately though, the last member of staff to comment on this thread was over a year ago so it's probably not a high priority.
Exactly, Andrew! I'm stuck with having a downloadable PDF file with a glossary. I would love to have internal links. Oh - and, even better for my glossary, placing your cursor on a highlighted word and having a pop-up provide the definition.
A really simple example of why this deserves a bit more urgent development is the glossary - learners have diverse reading level so being able to hyperlink any technical or uncommon terms to a simple glossary is vital – and not possible in Rise.
I imagine this is because every time RIse courses are updated the internal ID's change – but that's not that difficult to fix.Are anchor links still being considered?
Any updates on this feature would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Waiting for this feature to be added!
No updates at this time, Nate. Thanks for checking in.
+1. Looks like it's been 3 years since this initial feature request. Any updates?
ditto
