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!
Good ideas LoganPenna and IrisSchlabitz and glad you submitted them. Hopefully the team will incorporate them eventually, however, I think all of the suggestions have been submitted in years past. I'm optimistic but not holding my breath. There are so many little things that would make the user experience much more efficient and remove significant frustration. Baby steps...
How about adding a table row and keep the formatting of the previous row?
Apply content width (S,M,L) to the theme, along with everything else that should be applied globally with a theme.
Thanks Rise team for what you do.
Ho JonMon,
Thanks for sharing this, those are both great callouts.
Keeping table row formatting when adding a new row would help streamline table creation and reduce repetitive formatting work. Applying content width at the theme level would also make it much easier to keep layouts consistent across a course without needing to adjust each block individually.
I’ve shared both of these with our product team so they can be considered alongside similar requests we’re tracking.
