Jump (link) to a different content block within a lesson in Rise
Hi everyone,
Little Rise help please. I'm playing around with it and can't figure how to jump from one content block to another in a lesson.
Example - I am covering a process that has four stages (one lesson per) and each stage has three sub-stages. At the intro of each lesson, I want to list the three sub-stages and have a short intro, then have a link to jump to another block.
I know I can create another lesson for each stage, but that creates a messy TOC and the silly "Lesson x of x" gets out of whack as well - any way to ditch that? Seems like it should be simple to get rid of! :)

Hi there Steve,
It sounds like you want to avoid a messy menu, so I've got some ideas that'll help maintain a streamlined Table of Contents.
Check out this Rise course that Tom Kuhlmann created. He used used a button stack each button linking to a different lesson to create the feeling of a "branching" interaction.
Another option would be to provide links within one Rise course to separate learner-specific Rise courses.
And if you're feeling really creative, try your hand at this tutorial on hiding menu entries to create the "fake branching" effect.
How do you set up a course like in the example shown by Tom Kuhlmann? I can't figure out how to do a table of contents with a header and subheaders like he did.
Hi, Holly! You can create menu sections by typing a section header and pressing shift + enter. Then, name each lesson as you normally would, pressing enter after each title. Here's more information on organizing your menu.
Tom Kuhlman's Rise course looks great! Is there a template I could use to create something similar?
Hi Michael,
This feature request still hasn't made it to our product roadmap, but we'll be sure to leave a message here when we have any new updates to share. I also added your voice to the feature request so we can keep track of the demand for the feature from the community.
Back to the original question -- can you use buttons like Tom K. to create jump links within the SAME lesson (of a course)? One of mine is long, and I'd like to be able to "jump" to a different header/section. Can we jump to content blocks within a lesson? Possible? Thanks!
Hey Cat!
While you can't link a button to a specific block within a lesson, that's a popular request! Thanks for letting us know you need that option.
Yes, this feature is so crucial...Rise is awesome, but this one missing feature makes my stakeholders prefer PPT instead. Is it on the roadmap at least?
Thanks for asking, Marina. This isn't on our roadmap right now, but we're tracking interest for this feature!
Hi! This thread is 3 years old now, so just wondering if there has since been any updates to this?
I came here looking for the same feature.
Basically, this is a global module, but I have some information that is for U.S. employees only and I'd like to provide a link or button so that those who are not in the U.S. can skip the rest of that section. For now, they'll have to scroll past it, but it would be nice to be able to provide a jump.
Hi, I have the exact same set up. I want a button to take you to the relevant region of a learner within a lesson without having to create different lesson for each region. Would be so great if this could be created ASAP please Articulate :-)
I'm going to have to second (and third...) this emotion. Please consider adding this feature. I'm trying to talk someone off the ledge of the interactive PDF cliff and this ability to use hyperlinks to navigate in addition to the menu has become a sticking point (against the use of Rise).
I support the development of this feature!
I need it too! One knowledge check for nurses in pediatric medicine and one for nurses who work with adult patients. It's very easy to jump within the same page using HTML jump links. I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a hack for doing this?
I came here looking for the answer to this question as well, and would love to see that feature incorporated! Please add my interest to your list, @Alyssa.
