lack of Rise innovation

Thank you — this already covers almost everything I had in mind.

I would, however, appreciate a few additional enhancements:

• Storyline Block in Mixed Media: It would be extremely helpful to have the Storyline block available as a selectable option within the customized blocks in mixed media.
• Font Settings in Templates: I would like the ability to define default font settings in the template. For example, headlines should consistently be 28 pt, in a specific color, and not bold.
• Dedicated Footnote Block: A specific footnote block with a smaller line spacing would be beneficial. While I can technically create this through customized blocks, editing text within it requires opening the custom block first, rather than editing text directly in a standard text block.
• Export to Word: The option to export Rise content directly into Word instead of PDF would significantly simplify the process of collecting feedback from stakeholders.
• Improved Copy/Paste Behavior: It would be great if pasting text from Word into Rise would automatically adopt Rise’s formatting—without needing the Ctrl+Shift+V (“spaghetti fingers”) shortcut. This functionality worked a couple of years ago and was very efficient.
• Toolbar Placement: I do heartly agree with LoganPenna​  the floating toolbar is often in the way. A single, fixed toolbar on the side that contains all editing functions would be far more convenient.

Thank you very much!
