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! :)

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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
