Is there a way to move/copy blocks to other lessons or sections?
Any update on when the ability to duplicate lessons or move blocks between lessons will be available? Last update was 5 months ago. Thanks.
Hi Jan. Thanks for asking.
You can duplicate your lessons in Rise right now! Have a Peek at how that’s done.
So if you have blocks that you’d like to reuse, duplicate the entire lesson and delete any extra blocks.
I’m really sorry that I didn’t update this discussion. New features are released all the time, and you get them automatically.
You can stay up to date on the latest additions to Rise right here. Enjoy!
Thanks, but that link doesn't demonstrate an easy way to copy blocks between lessons in the same multi-lesson course.
For example (one of many examples), I have a recommended reading section consisting of a header block and a numbered list block. While I can duplicate these two blocks in the same lesson, I do not know of a way to copy the blocks to other lessons within the same course.
Many of my Rise 360 courses have more than 8 lessons, so I need to manually redo the same two blocks for every lesson, a time-consuming requirement of applying style and format each time.
Why not use the block template feature?
While a library of frequently used blocks is nice, that is a separate use case. I often need to duplicate blocks that are unique to one course, and I don't want to have to create a template or library of one-off blocks. This is similar to my issue regarding the question pools. I wish I could also generate one-off question pools inside a specific course rather than being forced to create a library.
It just seems like a huge miss that I cannot duplicate content within a single course.Hi Shawn,
Yes, you can easily duplicate content within a single course.
That the exact purpose of Block Templates.
You can copy and insert blocks within the same Lesson, between different Lessons in the same course, or between different courses.
Block Templates serve exactly the same function as a clipboard on a local computer.
Block Templates are not a permanent thing unless you choose to keep them in the Library for re-use.
If it's "one-off copy", simply delete the Block Template after you've used it. I use Block Templates in this way several times a day.
You can also use Block Templates a library of frequently used blocks, but that is not it's only use.
