New Rise Feature - Exit Course
Many of you told us you needed a way for Rise learners to return to your LMS. So we've added a few features that make that super easy.
You can now set buttons in block lessons to leave the course, or add an ever-present link that lets learners return to an LMS.
Check out this Peek video describing the features:

Keep me posted, Cheryl! We're here to help. 😁
the Exit button is on in the Rise course at export for LMS. I see it in upper right-hand corner of the course and verified in the export (see attached). So I have now determined that the exit course in this Rise course is not working in our LMS (SuccessFactors) mobile application, just like we're currently having the exit buttons and triggers not work in our SF mobile app for storyline courses as well. However, the exit course function in the Rise course is working on a pc or using a browser with the .html file, instead of the mobile app. You can review:

I have pictures of using it on an iPhone and Samsung android both within the SuccessFactors Mobile App but don't think that will help you.
Hi Cheryl, Were you ever able to get the Exit Course link to work in the SF app? We are experiencing the same issue now with a course.
Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for sharing the images of your settings and letting us know that it's only not working in the SF mobile app. Their app isn't something I can help with, as we only support the content in the native mobile browsers of Safari and Chrome. Have you reached out to your SF team to see if they had any insight?
yes thank you.
I would like some sort of message to show once the quiz is done/passed or failed. Under the Exit Course (LMS) options, i see the option that says Bye (hand wave) and You may now leave this page. Where and When do these messages display? I can't seem to get them to show up when I'm done with the quiz.
Any help is appreciated
Hi Mat! Depending on your LMS, when you exit the course using either a button or the Exit Course link, you may see that messaging before closing the Rise window. Some LMSs will use the "goodbye" messaging, and some will just close the window when you click to exit the course.
Have a look at my Peek to see exactly what I mean.
For your quiz, could you add some instructions to your users in the quiz description field to use the Exit Course link when they've finished?
Thanks for your help Crystal. I appreciate it.
The goodbye message seems a little pointless after you close the browser. Maybe this would make a good update in the future :)
Is there a way to allow learners to exit the course/close the browser if you are just publishing to web (not to LMS)?
Hi Nat,
If you're exporting for Web, there isn't an "Exit Course" option that you could enable, but in that setup, the user could also use the standard browser close button/options. The Exit Course function that is available for an LMS helps ensure the course data is passed correctly to your LMS, as some systems require that to correctly track a users progress.
Hi Ashley,
I am publishing the same course for web use and different LMS 's and I have found that if I leave the "Exit Course Link" set to on after exporting the courses to SCORM 1.2. I then have to de- select it before changing the export course feature to web.
If I leave it selected the web version displays the exit course button but does not work. Which would light up my inbox from users trying to close the course using that link.
Are you aware of any other LMS features that are transferred to the web version if not de-selected?
Thanks
Ivor
Hi there, Ivor. That's a great catch - sorry that the exit course feature slipped into your web output. I'm documenting this for our team to have a look to make sure that LMS-only features don't make their way into the web output.
You've nailed the workaround -- make sure the exit course link feature is disabled before exporting for web, for now.
There shouldn't be any other non-functional LMS components that your learners see when exporting for web. Hopefully that keeps the inbox sane!
This seems to still function in the same way, it would be great if it did work but swtiching it off until fixed will help prevent confusion!
Quick update: The exit course link will no longer be retained in the web output if you've exported your course for LMS previously. Let me know if I can help further!
It would be really awesome to have an EXIT COURSE button that did work for the web. We have a course that is in a WordPress site and not having a persistent EXIT COURSE button is kind of irksome. Something that you could add a the link to the page you wanted folks to go back to would be ideal.
no. not in the mobile app. only in the browser. Even if you make the course window close automatically on the timer, and give them credit (tracking/reporting) based on the timeline of last slide, the window closes but the app doesn't know the course finished and asks them to resume.
