pop-up (or tooltip) in Rise
Hello, is there a way to insert a pop-up or a tooltip in Rise block? It would be a really useful feature to insert "nice to know information" which is not essential and readers can decide not to open.
Thank you!

I would love to have this as well. Per this thread from 2 years ago, it seems like a popular feature request...

I have another project that so needs this. We have two official languages. I'd like to add translation to certain words that would make it so much easier for participants. But I'll have to use a glossary lesson that interrupts the flow of the learning.
Even if this was limited to one or two lines of text, it would be so helpful.

Same here! I am looking for the same thing.

Please add this feature! With technical training, there are so many acronyms used. I would love to help less technical readers understand without bogging down everyone.

Hi this would be a very useful feature to have. As sara says there are many times where it will help to have as a quick reference to a concept or word.

Hi, I'm also looking for this feature. There doesn't seem to be another viable option. Is there a release date for this yet?

Hi Yvette! No updates yet. We'll update this thread once we make changes that will help!

This seems to be a canned/bland response for something many people have on a wish list already for 4 years. Please look at getting some better response of a time frame. As a developer myself, I know that this bit of JS is not a difficult item to tackle on adding to the next release.

I know it's only been a week - but sure could use this feature! Would be amazing to be able to have a tool-tip pop up for text inside a table.

Hi, I'm also looking for interactive tool-tips. Is there a release date for this feature yet?

Hi, I did create a bit of a work around for a popup window using the labelled graphic block, which I have also saved as a template block so I can reuse in other Rise projects. Check my post here
cheers Gerry

Thank you, Gerry. I'll be using your image marker trick ASAP! It's so good to find ways we can differentiate the learning for different abilities / interest levels.

HI Gerry, Not perfect (It would be nice to be able to make these notes right in the text to define certain words/acronyms easily.) But it's a lot better than my work-around and could work as a footnote/sidenote. I could also see creating a small logo/graphic that is repeated whenever there is a "Pro Tip" or even something that is just for the very very interested. Anyhow, thank you for your creativity! -Sara (NC)

Hi Sara, I agree it would be far easier if these types of elements were part of Rise already :) Also being in the same situation as yourself with needing to provide a glossary/acronyms again I had to create some workarounds please view here. Cheers Gerry

I just need to jump on the band wagon as this has become an issue with one of our clients. They also would like to be able to see a text pop-up when mousing, or clicking, on a glossary term.
Gerry, I like your workaround. We did something similar in SL and used an SL block. Our client has two issues:
1. They want the learner to receive a quick definition without navigating away from the content to get it.
2. They have seen how markers behave and want that same effect.
This puts everyone on this thread in a bad spot. You never want to tell a client "The app doesn't support this functionality." They will return with "Maybe you picked the wrong app." I would hate to have to redesign these lessons just so I can use layers for a glossary pop-up definition.
Is telling us that it's on the road map for several years the best we can do? If it is truly on the road map, I would think that Articulate could at least tell its users "We anticipate Q1 next year or Q4 this year" Give us some kind of hope. I have seen "It's on our road map" spouted off for four plus years on some topics. You would be better off saying nothing then to come back with that.

I have been wishing (dreaming) for this feature since day 1 of using Rise. I often work on very technical courses and this feature would be very useful to show definitions of important or difficult words in the lesson, so the student wouldn't have to jump back and forth between areas of content. Here is an example of what I need, very simple.
I can replicate this in a Storyline block. See my example here: https://rise.articulate.com/share/N0NjXRz9cBfW2jL5AXdwHWtO1BWyRgPo
But then it’s not possible to incorporate it seemlessly with the rest of the text, because of the ridiculously large Storyline block padding that is not possible to change (another request of mine). Also, it takes a lot of fiddling around to get the right size, color and position of text in order to match the rest of the content.
