The new microlearning feature adds a very large header space (cover page wrapper in CSS) that I'd like to remove. That is, there's a large gap between the title and the arrow and the actual microlearning quiz. It looks awkward and doesn't mesh with the idea of microlearning. Is there a way to remove this space in microlearning?

Please consider that the users we're designing lessons for typically want to achieve their learning with as little time and required action as possible. I'd imagine that's true for the bulk of Rise designers.From both a design and learning standpoint, having a massive header image that we can't remove is at odds with the whole point of the microlearning. Sure, it looks pretty, but it's adding useless padding and scroll for the UX.

I was placing the microlearning into another SCORM so it HAS to be html, it can't be another SCORM. I figured out how to edit the html to make the page load the second page rather than the cover page. I also turned off the navigation arrows that would redirect back to the cover page, as an additional option. Here's how I managed it: OPEN/LOAD TO SECOND BLOCK Publish to "Web" Extract in downloads open "index.html" in a browser tab navigate past the cover page to the second page/slide/block in the URL, copy the info from the # til the end and set aside for HREF data later will appear similar to this: "#/lessons/B3jT5DMWw9AkWSowxGvnjRzlY10cglw-" close browser tab open "index.html" in an editing tool find lines 89–91 (look for the lines of code below more than the line number, as it is subject to change), which looks like this: function __loadEntry() {return loadModule(JSON.parse(document.getElementById('__ENTRY__').textContent))} replace the above with the following code: function __loadEntry() { loadModule(JSON.parse(document.getElementById('__ENTRY__').textContent)) var currentUrl = window.location.href; window.location.href = currentUrl + '[PASTE HREF HERE]';} paste your HREF from step three in between the ' ' in the code above for example, using the copied code in step 3 will appear like this: function __loadEntry() { loadModule(JSON.parse(document.getElementById('__ENTRY__').textContent)) var currentUrl = window.location.href; window.location.href = currentUrl + '#/lessons/B3jT5DMWw9AkWSowxGvnjRzlY10cglw-';} save, close, test by opening index.html in browser again NAVIGATION BUTTON REMOVAL (OPTIONAL) If you are only using one block and want to remove the navigation buttons, follow these steps: open folder "lib" then "rise" there will be two .css files, open the larger one in an editing tool search for ".lesson-one-page-slides__controls" change "display: flex;" to "display: none;" save, close, test by opening index.html in browser; it should open to the second block (not the cover page), and there should be no extraneous navigation buttons, just your singular, beautiful, microlearning block, ready to go!

Hi All! Thanks for your feedback! Currently, you may enable the Hide Cover Page option when publishing to LMS, but we're tracking requests to add this option for web export (and publishing to Review 360) as well. We'll update this thread for any updates that can help! Have a lovely day!

Wow - over 3 years and dozens of developers looking for is an upgrade to the web publishing feature to have the same button to toggle off/on the microlearning cover page. Seems this would be even easier to implement then for LMS which has a much more complex structure then web output. I was hoping to create labeled graphic interactions and insert them as web objects into another content developer tool (yes - iSpring Suite) but also perhaps SL in the future. Should not need to edit code as was graciously suggested a year or so ago in this thread. The slowness of Articulate innovation is one of the reasons we switched our EL development to iSpring Suite back in 2013 (the Articulate '09 to '13 transition was unworkable for us) but we are now sticking our 'toe' back into Articulate products (iSpring Suite seems to have lost their way as well in the past few years). I checked your product roadmap site and this does not appear there. 😟

I believe this is an important issue that is good to be solved. For example, I need to share interactive sample with potential client. So, I would like the client to hit directly to the interactive without the cover page. I do not need to publish to LMS or Web at this stage. Just sharing through Rise. Any ideas btw?

I am looking to have the option to remove cover page too for Web and review output!

I am still eagerly awaiting this... We are trying to rapidly deploy tons of videos, and the acrobatic workarounds needed to have a simple video page load up without useless header space make this extremely problematic.

Hi all,

This thread has been incredibly helpful to me up until recently - I have successfully removed the cover page on multiple courses, but has anyone tried downloading a micro-course in the last couple of days? The code now looks completely different, and copying in what Jonica provided with your individual lesson code no longer works.

I was also removing the restart button at the bottom of the course with a line of code provided in another community post under a section that included "TODO" in a line, and that entire chunk of code is missing, as well. To be clear, I am not a coder, but by following what everyone else provided here I was able to make it work, and now I have absolutely no idea what to do.

I am using Thinkific and tried uploading just the scormcontent folder with the Hide Cover Page option activated, and when I preview the lesson on Thinkific it just stays stuck on the "Content Loading" screen and the lesson never appears. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  I just went in and looked at the info I provided in a previous comment (which I have updated), and it appears they now have "loadModule" in place of just "load" so it should instead look like this to work:
  
  function __loadEntry() { loadModule(JSON.parse(document.getElementById('__ENTRY__').textContent))
  var currentUrl = window.location.href;
  window.location.href = currentUrl + '[PASTE HREF HERE]';
  }

    Hello Jonica,
    
    I tried your solution, but it does not work. Could you please advise?
    
    I'm looking to upload a Mircolearning course as Web content WITHOUT the cover page.

Adding another "plus one" to this feature request! Some of my users are new to scrolling courses, so it's confusing for them to have a big cover page - they don't realize they have to click or scroll down on a microlearning course to start it.

  Hi Anna,
  
  If you are publishing your microlearning course to a LMS, it is currently possible to hide the Cover Page.

    Thank you, Karl - I'm "plus one" to adding this feature across the Rise tool so the cover page can be removed for both preview/review and web as well.

Me too! I hope Articulate will be able to add this feature - to publish without the cover page for web, or Review. Please, let us Hide the Cover Page!

Removing the cover page when publishing on Rise or on Review would be really a gem.

Edit: Having that said, I would like to see the option not just for microlearning, but also for courses.

  We'll take note of that, Luka! We have requests in place for this feature.
  
  Thanks for adding your voice. Have a good one!
