Hi SarahDries​, as everyone said already, Rise has no native variables, so a choice in lesson 2 can't change lesson 5 out of the box. But there are three workable routes, in order of effort:

  1. Lesson-level paths. Ask the question with a Button Stack, and point each button to a different lesson (e.g., "Manager path" vs "Frontline path"). It's simple, it's zero code and it works. 
  2. Keep the personalization inside one Storyline block. Storyline handles variables and branching happily, so if the "ask and adapt" can live in a single section, build that section as a Storyline block. The catch is the variable doesn't travel to other Rise blocks.
  3. SL or Code blocks that remember. 

    It doesn't have to be a storyline block.A small snippet in a Rise code block can store the learner's answer in the browser (localStorage), and a later code block can read it and show different content. I used AI to build the code snippets for me. I created a quick demo for you here: https://share.articulate.com/GN-W8D8yq0fl7VOhqs8L8
