Is there a way to indent sub-bullet points in a list?
I have made a list, but I'd like to further indent some bullets, similar to the Sub-bullet text below. Is this possible?

If you start with the bullet template, this will not work. You have to start with the text block template and bullets work as they logically should.
Thanks, Mourad. The letters are currently a part of the sub-bullets, but happy to let the team know you'd like to see more options within an ordered list.

I would like this option too!

Hi, Crystal. Thanks for the reply and the screencast. Using your text, here's what I need (screenshot attached). It's as simple as that. I don't want it to be a sub-list of a numbered list. As in Word, for example, you can just select your text and transform it into any type of list that you want (with no-sub listing): numbered, alphabetical, bulleted, etc. As a sidenote, note also in your example (minute 0:47), when you hit tab again you get a second-level list with the same type of labels (a,b..). That clearly doesn't make sense. I believe that this is just another urgent improvement needed in Rise's text editor. E-learning involves a lot of text editing and a good text editor (rich formatting options, text-aligning options, equations, symbols and special characters, etc.) is a basic requirement.
Thanks.

Hi Ashley,
Thanks for the reply. I tried that. It doesn't work. Say I have three items that I want to turn into a list (a,b,c). I select the three items and click "Ordered list". I get a numbered list (1,2,3). When I hit tab or "Increase Indent", The first item stays as it is and the other two move, giving me (1,a,b)! If this works for you, could you demonstrate in a quick screecast?
Thanks.
Hi there, Mourad! Check out this Peek. Hopefully I understand what you're going for!
Hi Mourad,
You can make Sub bullets by using the Tab key in an Ordered list. You'll see the first order is by number, and then the sub-bullets will follow a, b, c.
We'd love to know more about what you'd like to see in Rise, so keep the ideas coming here or as a formal feature request!

Hi Ashley,
Is there a way to make a simple alphabetical ordered list (a, b, c)? The method demonstrated by Alyssa does not work. I tried making a numerical list (1, 2, 3) and hoped that by selecting the text and choosing indent, the list would turn alphabetical. But what I get is a mixed layered list 1, a, b!
Am I doing something wrong or is it so difficult to make a simple alphabetical list? I think that the text editor needs urgent enhancement: formatting options, symbols and special characters, equations, etc. This is so basic for e-learning design.
Thanks.
Hi Derick,
Did you take a look at Alyssa's video? Could you share an example of what you're seeing and what lesson you're trying to use bullets in? That'll help us figure out next steps.

+1. I'd like to see this functionality as well.

+1 from me too. It would be great to be able to indent bullets when using the bulleted list block.
Hello Darren,
Sorry you've run into difficulty with this.
Where are you adding your bulleted list? Alyssa's post above outlines how to indent your bullet/text.

I am having the same issue. My text just indents, and the bullet stays the same.
