Issue with Hyperlinks in Storyline & Rise in Microsoft Edge
Our L & D team are having the same issues with hyperlinks in Rise. Has there been a resolution for this issue?
Hello Kari!
When hyperlinks open in Rise, they utilize a new browser tab. We've logged the option to control how hyperlinks open (same tab, new tab, pop-up/lightbox) as a feature request. I've linked this discussion so that you'll be notified if this approach changes. We'll be sure to keep this thread updated!
Hello Lauren,
Thanks for your response on this issue. Question: Do you have any idea if this option for controlling how hyperlinks open will come to fruition and if so the timeline on it?
Background: Recently, our department purchased Articulate 360 suite for several associates and this link issue is a big deal. Currently, we (the developers) build webpages so we can manipulate the code to open links as a pop-out in front of main course. This way our agents/learners don't get lost while going through our training. We had wanted to bring on board more developers that didn't need to know HTML/CSS and could build courses using Articulate Rise. However, management will not accept hyperlinks opening in a new tab and minimizing the main course to the task bar. I really want us to be able to utilize the Articulate 360 suite, so I'm hoping your answer to my above question is a positive one.
Thanks for any clarification you can provide.
Thanks for following up with these extra details, Kari!
I'm sorry that I don't have a specific timeline to share at the moment. I understand how this feature would benefit your environment, so I've added your comments to the report we're tracking for our team to review.
You're in the right place for future updates, and in the meantime, I wanted to share insight on how we manage feature requests.
Any update on whether this has made it into your backlog yet? This is a huge sore spot for us with our engineering team and key stakeholders. We need to be open to control how hyperlinks in Rise open. Thanks!
With this logged as a feature request over a year ago, can you please provide us an update on where that feature request stands? Thanks.
