New Rise feature just released - Flashcards
Hey Everyone - we just released Flashcards to Rise. Check out this quick video overview. (Recorded with Peek and posted to Articulate Review, naturally.)

Flashcards are an awesome click-and-reveal interaction. I'm excited to see the creative ways you use them!

Flashcard blocks look really cool, Adam!
Thanks Montse! You're always so creative so I'm looking forward to seeing them in action from you.

Very cool function, but I'm still seeing the "Coming Soon" notice on mine!
Hmm, that's odd, Lindsey.
Can you try 2 things for me and let me know what happens:
1) Open the blocks sidebar and then refresh the page. See if that clears "Coming Soon"
2) If #1 doesn't help, can you log out and log back into Rise. (Click your avatar in the upper-right.)
Can you report back and let me know the results?

That worked – thanks, Adam! It’s still early, and I haven’t had any coffee yet. I should have just tried that in the first place ☺
We've all been there Lindsey, no worries. :)
Just an FYI that responding via email includes your signature here as well. You can edit the post if you'd like to remove that information.

The flash cards are awesome and I'm loving the fact that you can add images to them. A great way to break down large chunks of text and to make it interactive too. Good work Articulate! :)
Thanks Troy - the team is loving all the praise we're getting on Flashcards.

Very cool the flash cards! :)
Now if I can make some suggestions for them... :)
It would be nice to be able to...Front
- add text above or below the image (centered/aligned left/aligned right)Back
- center/align left/align right the text
- do paragraph (use of 'return')I attached an image to show you what I have in mind.
Thanks,
Thanks a ton for that feedback, Frederick.

Cheryl - the reason that arrow cuts off is it's not a square image. The dimensions of that image is 341 x 290. You can either put it on a square image and save it out before you upload to Rise. Or just use the "Centered Image" option and it will work well too.

My network blocked what you attached, but I understand. Duh. : (

Hi, Adam and Articulate team! I am using images with a transparent background with the flashcards, but I am getting a white block around the image. It just doesn't look as good as if the image were transparent. Do you know why this is happening? I am attaching a picture of what I see. I would prefer to have the image float in the center of the tile with no background.
Also, I concur with Frederick that having the option to include text above and below images would be useful in some cases. Also, in the case with music and language learning, audio would also be a nice enhancement, but I am sure it is down the road if you decide to implement this feature.
Thanks for the feedback, Anthony. Right now we don't have support for transparent backgrounds. But we'll put it on the board for evaluation.
In the meantime, change the background of that image before you upload to hex color #FAFAFA if you're placing it on the back of the card. (If you're placing it on the front, it will look fine already.)
Hey Anthony - just wanted to let you know we added PNG transparency support.

Sounds good, Adam. Now that I know the color, I can adjust the images. Can you give an ideal size for the card, or does that not matter? It seems that Rise scales it down to be perfectly centered in the card despite the size.
Any size is fine. Larger is better. Square dimensions will work best,
especially if you're using the Cover Card option.
