Rise - adding popup text box

Adarsh said in a previous post: "touch a word and select "Look Up" to view a definition without leaving the page."

This is really the key to the solution for us. We deal with a lot of legal terms, and it is essential to provide definitions of terms in context without leaving the page. 

+1 for the need... I hope this feature can be added soon.

Count me in too! It would be an ideal way to make a short explanatory aside without interrupting the flow. Not to mention some students come from different backgrounds and might already know these definitions, so they won't be feeling like they've being told the same thing over and over.

I too would really benefit from a simple pop-up on roll-over function. My courses have occasional terminology that needs explaining. The workarounds take the ease out of reading them.

Chiming in to say that I'd love a "click to reveal" functionality of some kind in Rise. Attached is a screengrab of a mockup I built using one single Accordion to try and hide extraneous information I need in my course. If I could customize the look of it that wouldn't be so bad, but since I can't change the text size or formatting of the Accordion text, it sticks out.

Ideally this "click to reveal" information would be part of a 4 step "how to log in" Process block I'm planning to build, and obviously I can't stick an accordion block in the middle of one of my process steps.  

Add me to the list of people who'd like to see pop-up functionality similar to Adarsh's example.

I'm very interested in Rise implementing Modal Window content within the document window.  This is web-design speak for the Lightbox functionality that people have asked to be brought over from Storyline. 

I won't get into the functional oversight I believe that this and the lack of tool-tip text introduces into client experience and expectations, but I am quite confident that this is a hard requirement from nearly all of my clients who would consider Rise.  Workarounds are fun to hash out, but to the client they are obviously kludgy solutions to an otherwise straight forward tool.  

Modal content has to be in the dev list for this product to make it viable. 

I'll give you a great case study for this: rapid-conversion of legacy content. There's going to be a lot of modal-type interactivity in-line text, that can't be shoehorned into another block type. 

Thanks for reading, hope it helps further this topic along. 

From the perspective of my organization, this is the single biggest deficiency in RIse.

I understand this may not be a big deal for many Rise users, but it is a huge issue for us.

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts, Patrick and Karl. We'll take this into consideration as we plan for future Rise 360 updates.
