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 letting us know what you need, Amy. Right now, Rise 360 doesn't have a feature for a pop-up when hovering over a word, but I'll add your vote to that request!
Hi People,
Loving the discussion here. These relate to a project I am developing.
In my project, the learner will being the learning which is based on a common topic, but each learner would follow a different path depending on where they work, branching back into common areas as they progress through the learning. Trying to avoid having a separate course for each work group.
I anticipate that once the learner has followed their work specific path, the course won't show as completed because there are parts of the learning that won't be accessed.
I think in Storyline, I can use java to force a "Completed" command to the LMS, but I'm wondering if the existing button option "Exit the course (LMS Only)" would be sufficient.
Thoughts?

Hi there, Andrew. You have a couple options depending on your course design:
- Track completion based on number of lessons viewed:
Do each of the paths require about the same number of lessons? When you export your course for LMS, you can choose what percentage of the course has to be viewed in order to be marked as complete. If you use the lowest common required lesson count, your learners should get marked as complete as they finish viewing their unique paths. - Track completion based on a Storyline block:
Do all of the paths end on the same lesson, i.e. a summary lesson? If so, you could use a Storyline block with a completion trigger to signal completion. When you export your course, choose to track by your Storyline block.
The exit course link at the top on its own won't mark the course complete. Depending on the LMS, it will close the course and return the learner to the LMS page where they should see whether they completed the course based on your requirements.
Thanks Crystal
Yes, each path has the same number of lessons. So that's an option.
I had also been thinking of using a storyline block which is possibly the better option as it allows a bit more flexibility.

I'm interested in this one as well. Thanks for keeping us up to date!
Add me to the list of those asking for the ability to hyperlinking between lessons.
Add me to the list also - this has been requested for over 2 years now - so would be great to get something done...
I also have this question about linking to a lesson within the same Rise Course and unfortunately the button options won't work for me. If this was still not taken care of, I am joining in with everyone else requesting this feature be added. Thanks Stef
+1, we need this. The manifest uses relative linking, this should be fairly trivial to do.
I just started using Rise. Agree with the comments above - it would be really helpful if we could have a similar choice option (like there is for buttons) when hyperlinking text.
I like the buttons block, but there are definitely scenarios where I want to link to another lesson from within a paragraph/line of text or when I have more than a few lessons I want to link, it would be nice to have other options instead of a wall of buttons. Bookmarking/anchoring to specific content/block lower in a lesson or to a specific portion/block of another would be a plus too.
I will add my request to that list. I want to use an interactive image that has questions open with a link to the answers that lie in different lessons within the course.
I know This thread may be a little old, but I'm going to add my voice to this one. I would really like to link to other lessons within the same course (without using button elements) and to other elements within the same lesson.
