Have you ever wished you could hide the cover page of a Rise 360 course so learners could dive right into the content? Well, now when you publish for LMS you can! Simply toggle the option on before you export your course and you’re all set. If you’re an Articulate 360 subscriber, you can access this new feature immediately in the LMS settings of any Rise 360 course. And if you don’t have Articulate 360 but want to try out this feature, you can start a free 30-day trial. Once you’ve given it a try we’d love to hear what you think! Please share any feedback or suggestions in the comments below. We’ll be working on enhancements for this feature and want to know if there are areas for improvement or additional functionality that you’d like to see. We’re looking forward to your feedback! The Rise 360 Team

It's definitely great to be able to hide the cover page. However, I think it would be better to have the toggle button in the THEME > Cover Page area. That would put the decision making in context. It'd also mean that the course would show up that way in PREVIEW and in all types of publishing.

Hi Judy and Lacey! Thanks for sharing your feedback and suggestions; we'll forward this to our team!We’ve released this feature for LMS exports for now, but we’re considering adding it for web exports and publishing it to Review 360 as well. We'll keep this thread posted on updates that can help!

I agree with Judy that this is a great feature but is not implemented very well as it seems it cannot be previewed either in Rise or in Review 360. I tried toggling the setting on and publishing my course for LMS to essentially "save" the setting, then published the course to Review 360 and it still appears with the cover page showing. We need to be able to preview and present courses for review exactly how they'll appear once published to our LMS.

This feature worked yesterday, but today it does not. I published another version of the microlearning I published yesterday and the cover page is now appearing even though the cover page is turned off in the publish settings. I don't believe I changed any of the other settings since yesterday.

I am experiencing the same thing as Greg. Is there a system wide issue? This feature has been working since released and today it is not. I also did not change any settings since yesterday. I have re-published for scorm 1.2 twice now with the hide cover page option on. Once uploaded to LMS the cover page is still there.

Will it be possible to do this when publishing a course to Reach360 as well? I didn't see that option when I did.

I am not publishing for LMS, but rather using Rise to create interactive elements, and I embed using iframe in another program we use.

I really want to get rid of the cover page, so that all I need to publish as HTML5 is the interactive portion and put that in. Any way to just delete the cover page and the starting page is the interactive piece?

  Hi Christine,
  
  There isn't a way to remove the cover page of Rise 360 courses. Have you tried creating Microlearning courses instead of regular Rise 360 courses as an alternative? Microlearning courses have access to all of the blocks available in a Rise 360 course, and it is more compact and streamlined. Note that Microlearnings cannot be divided into sections, so consider this when designing the content.

    Hi Jose- even the microlearning in Rise has a cover page. Unless you know how to hide the cover page for microlearning. I just want to create one interaction, say flip card. I will publish as html5 and insert into my other project. So I don't need that cover page.

I would also appreciate this feature being a setting in "Theme" options instead of something you can only choose as an LMS export. I want to be able to have the option to turn off the cover page and have it off regardless of the way this is exported, as LMS/LRS, Reach, Web, or PDF.

The UI language confuses the Hide Cover Page button's purpose.
Hide Cover Page turned to 'On' will hide the cover page. Clear enough.
But confusion arises when the tool tip uses the words on/off to indicate inverse behaviours. ie: when the button is 'On' the cover page visibility is 'Off'.
