New Rise Feature: Sidebar Visibility
Hey Everyone,
We released a new feature to Rise today that allows you to set sidebar visibility.
You can now choose to:
- Set the sidebar to be open at course launch (default)
- Set the sidebar to be closed at course launch
- Remove the sidebar completely from the course
Check out this 90 second video for the details:

Enjoy!

Many thanks Adam ! It's a very helpful feature :-)
I took an infographic from the CDC and created a single less Rise demo with no sidebar.

Are we still able to link to other pages? If so, how do you find the relevant link to the page - i.e. can use a relative path "..\page2" or need to know the full path before you create the link?

It would be great to be able to pick and choose which sections (and lessons within the sections) have sidebars. That way you can specifically hide pages to do a branching scenario (without playing with JavaScript) while leaving the navigation there for the other components of the module.

Hi Liv - How can you use javascript to hide the sidebar for specific pages/modules using javascript? Is there a script out there that you can point me to? I'm trying to hide the sidebar for the final assessment questions pages. Thanks!
Thanks Liv for sharing that idea!

Love this feature! It's a big step forward for those of us working with an LMS.

Perhaps a future option to create a RISE static page would be ideal? So that it doesn't require a sidebar nor splash page, lesson 1ofX counters and the Home & next lesson links.
The interactivity within RISE is getting so good, that it could add a lot of value to information/experience only requiring a static "one-shot" interaction. Rather than the full suite of landing pages and table of contents etc.
Hi Brent,
Great idea - and although it's not a current feature in Rise, I may have a method that'll work for you! I recorded a quick Peek to show you what I'm thinking - an easy way to showcase just one Rise interaction.
Let me know if you need anything else!

If you turn off the sidebar entirely, it also turns off the lesson navigation on the title screen.
Can these actions be separated? Id like to be able to still display the lessons on the title screen and disable the sidebar within those lessons.

In a future release it would help to have the option that the side menu only shows the lesson titles (like you can in Storyline) and not all the details.
