Rise - Can you copy a block between lessons?

How do I move a singular block from one Lesson to another Lesson (within the same Rise module)?

Hi Karen,

It's easy to move or reuse blocks within the same course using Block Templates! Check out this video to see how it works, then hop over to this tutorial to read more about it!

Maybe I'm missing something.  I know you can move a singular block (like the 3 boxes in the video above) up or down within a block using the arrow keys on the right.  But what if I want to move that singular content to another Lesson altogether (not the whole block, just one item)?

So, there I was, where many of us have been I am sure, with a near final review of content that has been reviewed before, and my SME wants 3/4 of a lesson moved to another lesson in the course. Well, krikey… But this "make and move a template" really did the job! Thanks for this.

Hey Rick,

It sounds like Block Templates saved the day! Thanks for the feedback, and best of luck on the final stretch of your project!

This was perfect, thank you! I was able able to move several blocks from one lesson to another.

Hi all,

Have any updates been implemented related to this?

I'm creating training courses in Rise around several highly technical products and I need multiple variations of the courses relevant to the specific needs of different types of customers.

Some of the courses will include the same lessons, and due to the nature of my work the information will change several times each year.

Is there a way  to create a lesson once, use it in multiple courses, and have the course point to the "master" lesson as opposed to the lesson being fully contained within the course? This way updating the lesson will also update all of the courses using the lesson.

If not... are there other ways to achieve my goal, besides using Block Templates, or having a master course that contains the updated lessons and then copying the updated lesson to each course using it? This would require me to do this operation for each course using the lesson, which isn't ideal. I would also have to keep track of everywhere the lesson is used.

If not... Does anyone know of other course authoring platforms (or LMS' that include course authoring) that allow for this? 

Thanks for your time and input!

I am trying to use the block template feature to copy the Scenario block from one lesson to another.  I followed the steps for creating a new template but when I try to insert the new template in another lesson, it just keeps spinning.

Has anyone else had this happen?  What is the resolution?

Hi Sheila,

Thanks for letting us know what's going on! Please try deleting that block from your lesson, then going back to the course main menu page. Open the lesson again, and re-insert the block template. 

If you're still getting stuck, clear your browser cache and try again. Let me know how it goes!

Can you copy a block from a lesson in one Rise course to a lesson in another Rise course?
