Hi Kelly,

The issue happens because on our LMS the course content opens in a new window with the SCORM window behind the content window, when you open a link from the content window it opens in a tab in the SCORM window and hides the content window, for someone who is not very tech savvy it is confusing. I just want to be able to open a link from the content window in a new window above the content window so that when it's closed the content window will be open behind it.

Hello davelees! I appreciate the extra context! By default, links in a Rise 360 course open in a new tab. But many LMSs override that behavior and force links to open in the same window. That sounds like what’s happening here.

You could try a different browser to see if it handles things differently, but most of the time, the LMS controls how Rise 360 functions. If we come across a workaround, we’ll definitely share it here!
