PRIMER: How to Branch in a Rise Course
Can a Rise course be set up to branch to different content? I recently saw multiple discussions asking that same question.
The answer: Yes!
Note that the ability to branch comes with some caveats:
- All navigation must be done with Button and Button Stack blocks. In other words, you have to turn off the built-in menu and the Prev/Next Lesson buttons.
- Rise doesn't have a way to track which branch someone follows. It can only track completion.
- Completion can be tracked via only one method:
1) Steer all users to the same final Lesson in Rise. In that Lesson, insert a Storyline block that has a completion trigger. Track completion via that Storyline block.
or
2) Steer all users to the same final Quiz in Rise. Track completion via that Quiz.

This branching in Rise Demo is EXCELLENT! Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful. Pay it forward when you can. 😊
I absolutely love your demo! Thanks so much, Judy! Wondering how you did this interactive check "you have successfully completed this course" in Rise. And I did not have to click a play button once I entered the completion page - this "processing circle" activated automatically followed by the completion info and the check. Thanks again.
AnnaPalacka​: I'm glad the demo was helpful.
The "you have successfully completed this course" message is a Storyline block. The Storyline file is just that slide, with a "Complete course" trigger that runs when the timeline starts.
Any "processing circle" you saw is from the browser loading the SL block.
FYI: I include the message about the Play button just in case the SL block doesn't autoplay. (If it didn't autoplay for someone and that person didn't click the Play button, the course wouldn't be registered as complete in an LMS/LRS.)
For convenience, here's the link from the demo to info about SL completions: Primer: Storyline-block completions in Rise | Articulate - Community
Awesome! Clear. I could see the storyline block bit in your demo but did not know that I can incorporate it that easily into a Rise course, Thanks again! Love.
