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 the text to link to other lessons. How can I get the relative URL so I can hyperlink?

Thanks for chiming in, Elaine! I appreciate you sharing what you'd like to see in Rise 360!
Yes, I second Elaine Foster's feature requests - please add this because the result is that we end up not being able to use Rise altogether.
I'm setting up a glossary using the lessons and want to reference another term. Ex. Average / Mean. When they are viewing the definition of Average, I want a link to Mean so they can jump right to it. Any way to do this?
Hi Bryan,
Right now, there's not a way to hyperlink a word in one lesson to a word or block in another lesson.
Thanks for letting us know what features you need in Rise 360!
I also have a need for this - creating a URL link to another lesson within the same Rise course. Any updates on this possible new functionality?
Thanks, Jessie; we'll add your voice. This isn't on the immediate roadmap just yet.
I too would like to see this as a function in Rise - various scenarios would definitely benefit from it.
I would love a feature that allows me to link to individual lessons within a course from a Storyline 360-imported block.
Hi Oxford REM Learning! Tell me more about your idea. Are you wanting to use the Storyline block as a sort of menu, with buttons that link to different lessons within the same Rise course?
Hi Alyssa,
We have a process image right now that serves as an overview of the course. In testing, people were clicking individual process tiles in the image, expecting to be taken to the corresponding sections of the course. Feedback was given that it would be a neat feature.
Now, we were looking for ways to make that happen. Currently, only Buttons in Rise 360 have the Link to Section functionality, which is unfortunate, because I think just about every Interactive Block should be able to be used as a Link.
Our solution was a way to build an interactive timeline in Storyline and import it into the Rise 360, but we still run into the issue of linking, and that we can't really link to individual Sections of a Rise 360 course, since those links are generated anew every time a Rise 360 course is published.
Ideally, any Interactive Block, especially Cards or Process\Timeline should themselves be able to be used as a Link/Button. Same goes for most other Blocks, including Images.
Thanks for that insight! I'll let our team know you need more options within Interactive blocks to link to other lessons in a course.
Hi! I am adding my voice to this, it would be really helpful hyperlinking to lessons from any text!
Thank you!
Hi I am adding my comment here too because having hyperlinking to lessons from any text would be really useful.
Thank you!
adding my voice to this request. I'm working on a course in Rise with a lot of technical/legal vocabulary. While I have created a Glossary at the end of the course, the SMEs have asked me to also create links/pop-ups when the term is used for the first time (similar to a light box in storyline). if that is already possible, please advise. thank you!
