Rise - adding popup text box
Is there a feature in Rise to add a popup text box? I would like the ability to click on text to provide further information to users. Does Rise have that capability?

Hi all,
Thanks for sharing your +1s! If we add this to our new feature roadmap in the future, we'll definitely let you know.
For glossary terms I currently highlight the word, usually bold and a different colour to the body text. I then add an accordion at the bottom of the screen to contain the definition(s).
I would find a lot of use for a popup, definitely +1 on this request from me.
Yes, I would love to see this feature as well! When I need to define a term, sometimes I have to break up the flow of the text, and this is definitely a distraction for the user.
In our courses we deal with a lot of terms and certainly have a huge requirement for providing definitions for terms using popups.
Adarsh, I believe your option will work for me. I am fairly new to Rise. Can you provide directions on how to get the pop over effect?
Celeste, I'm sorry I think I may have been unclear. I was posting an example of what I would like to see in Rise. The image I posted was from an existing site that included popover text that I was hoping could be replicated in Rise. I don't currently have a solution for popovers in Rise.
Currently, I change the text color and underline it and then add a Note block near the highlighted text.
hi, what do you mean by a noteblock?
I would like to be able to add pop up boxes for text definitions as well. Add me to the growing list of supporters on this enhancement! Thanks Gail, for bringing this up. Its been a frustration of mine for a while.
Thanks all - we'll keep you posted here if any top of pop-up interaction is added to Rise!
Hello!
Has there been any movement on this?
My courses would greatly benefit from the ability to add a tooltip to new vocab as it is introduced/used in a course.
Nope, 8 years for a pretty major feature request and still not done unfortunately.
To chime in, pop overs are not really good for mobile (IMO).
Generally I agree Anthony. But I've seen it done well. For instance, You can compare the pop over I posted earlier and the same pop over viewed on mobile, attached here. For me, its really more about provide students with contextual information that would otherwise be distracting if I sent them to a new tab or didn't provide any of that contextual information at all.
It's not too different from the feature that's baked into most mobile browsers that allow you to deep touch a word and select "Look Up" to view a definition without leaving the page.
I would like the above too if possible please .... I've just been asked for a similar feature!
I'd like to chime in with a request for this. Currently, I make text appear as if it is a link but then include a Note block nearby and highlight the term. The problem is that it is abrupt and disturbs the flow of the content. It would be ideal to have a rollover pop up that appears only when the user hovers over marked text. (Pls see attachment)
Hi Adarsh,
This is interesting!!
would you please share how you created pop up ?
thanks in advance
