Linking between lessons

I'd like to link other lessons in Rise. I see that the button block element supports linking to other lessons in the same course (via the Destination dropdown), but I also want to use hyperlinks in ...

    Hi everyone!

    Great news! 🎉 The hyperlink enhancements many of you have been asking for are now available in Rise 360!

    You can now link text or images to a specific lesson or even a specific block within a lesson, giving you more flexibility to guide learners exactly where you want them to go in your course.

    This capability started in Rise Labs with links to lessons and expanded based on feedback to include links to specific blocks. It’s now out of Labs and available in Rise 360.

    Thank you to everyone who shared your use cases and feedback in this discussion over the years. Your input helped us understand how valuable more flexible navigation would be for your courses. We hope you enjoy giving it a try!

Bumping the thread to see if this issue has been resolved. I have a lesson where I'd like to say, "If any of this is confusing, review Lesson X," where Lesson X is the previous lesson in the sequence.

Hi James,

This is currently possible.

Create a Button block.

Edit the text on the left to say "If any of this is confusing, review Lesson X".

Edit the button to say "Lesson x".

Choose Lesson X as the destination. 

A button click will go to the start of Lesson X.

      Hi James

      here is a hack that may work for you...I went to the lesson that I wanted to link to and grabbed the URL then back to the lesson I wanted to link from and selected a sentence and used the hyperlink option.

        I appreciate that, Wendy. But, in scenario, the link will be static and will break in any context other than the one where I capture it. For example, if I gives access to my course via the Share link, and grab the link from there, I'll be fine. But, if I share the course on Review 360 (or via an LMS), the URL for the same lesson will be entirely different.

    I applied your solution and was quite happy with the results. Here's what it looks like in action.

    That's a little more elaborate to set up than just highlighting text and selecting a lesson from a menu--hint, hint, Articulate Storyline 360 devlopers--but it still serves my purposes. 

    Thanks again for the help, Karl.
