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.

Hi Trina. Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the Button Stack doesn't quite achieve what I am after, although it is a great way to move around between different lessons in a course. What I am trying to do is to move around within an individual lesson such that I could use the first block as a contents list or menu, from which I could be directed to another block within the same lesson, via a link. Another link could then return me to the menu on completion. I realise that I can scroll through an individual lesson, but for a User Guide, which is what I am currently working on, it looks a lot better to just be able to click on a link to go to the information you are after. If such a option were available, I think it would add a lot of flexibility to Rise, particularly for large courses, as it would enable users to quickly navigate around the course without having to spend a lot of time scrolling.

Hi Trina. Thanks very much. I have now shared this with the team as requested.

+5000 it seems getting such useful features never happens in Rise

+1 one from us as a departement, would add needed flexability to workbooks and resources

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.

  Thanks! I noticed you use anchor hyperlinks on that page of 'what you're busy working on right now'.... let's get it added so others can utilize the feature in our courses.

Yes this feature would be incredibly helpful. Are there any major releases coming up? I keep seeing people ask for functionality improvement but none of them seem to be implemented.

Hello, College Connect!

Can you tell me more about what you hope to achieve by linking from a button inside a Storyline block to a particular place in a Rise 360 lesson?

While it's not possible to link directly to a block in Rise 360, there may be another option I can recommend!

I am developing a course for students and would like to know if it is possible to embed link/trigger to a button that would move from inside an SL interaction (embedded in rise) to a lesson block within Rise course?

Many thanks in advance

Yes please, I have been wanting to do this too, many times.

A bookmark feature that references all parts of the course would be great.

Please add me to the list of people to notify when this becomes available.

I note that Ned requested this over a year ago and it seems to have a lot of support. Please could you indicate if this is already on a development roadmap?
