Open Link in Same Tab
I've seen this discussed before, but I have not found a clear answer. I need a link to open in the same tab as the rise course. Essentially, this will exit the course and go to a page of my choosing. The Exit Course option does not work within the LMS I'm using (Moodle). However, if I can get a link to open in the same tab, this will give me the control I need. It appears all links default to opening in new browser tabs. Is there a way around this behavior?

We have many needs for link customizations; the highest need is a link opening in the same tab. For example, we are making a living glossary of terms in Rise and we do not want a new tab for each letter of the alphabet. With several million clients, we need a solution that will work similar to the "Start" button. Can Articulate create a toggle or similar solution for hyperlinks to open in the same window?
Thank you for the additional context, ClassLink! I've added it to our tracker for this feature. We'll post any updates here.
We also need this functionality - we have created a master course in Rise that links to several smaller lessons in the LMS - the learners get so confused when multiple windows keep opening. It would be really helpful to be able to specify where links open.
I tried creating a storyline block to pull into Rise and couldn't get it to work. I created a button with trigger to open a URL in the same window. I pulled this into the Rise course as a block. No luck.
Hi Aidan, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this issue. I've added your vote for this feature, and we'll let you know here if we have updates.
I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulties in adding your Storyline course into Rise. You can follow the steps in this article. Let me know here if you're still having trouble, and I'd be more than happy to help!
I'd love to see the Open in the same window functionality some day. It's for usability and accessibility purposes. Open in a new window becomes a major issue for several people who have attended the training I created. I look forward to seeing that happen. I appreciate your support.
Hi Supada! Thanks for the feedback and for sharing why you need this feature. If we have any updates for you regarding this feature, we'll let you know!
+1 for this request.
Hello everyone, is there a way to refer another session with hyperlink?? I mean not opening in a new tab? A link from the course itself
Hi Jader! Sorry, no there isn't a way to refer to another session via a hyperlink. The course does not connect to another course session.
3 years of people asking and always the same response. "It's in our tracker of features". must be a very long one
We also really need this feature.
Hi Team, we would also love to be able to customise link and button behaviour in Rise. Our specific requirement comes from creating an EXIT button for courses published to web, as we want this to re-direct in the current window to a course selection page hosted on our internal servers, as opposed to an LMS.
It would be really helpful to have this feature here, as well. Additionally, it would be great if the "Exit to LMS" page had an auto-close option.
