I made several lessons in Rise, and each lesson has multiple blocks. Is it possible to copy a block from one lesson to another? I found I can duplicate blocks within a lesson, and I can duplicate entire lessons. I'm trying to copy one bock of a lesson into another existing lesson. Thanks.

Using Block templates worked as a workaround today. But, we'd like to raise our hands to vote for an easy way to copy a block to another lesson within the same course! :)

Hi Jim, Great question - there isn't a way to copy a block from one lesson into another, but if you knew you were going to use the same set up of blocks within a lesson (or similar enough) you could look at duplicating an entire lesson and then editing/deleting as necessary from the duplicate. It does sound like a good feature request though, so I'll add it to the list we've shared with our Product team. Keep the good ideas coming and hope you're enjoying Rise!

This feature would be Extremely helpful for re-organizing lessons. Any ETA on when this feature will be available?

It's wild to me that it's been 4 years since this original post, and there still isn't a convenient way to copy individual blocks from one lesson to another. Block templates are an okay workaround, but still a workaround, and not very convenient if you're not planning to reuse the block in other content. C'mon Articulate, this should be fairly easy to implement!

I don't need or want everything saved as a template, that's so many steps when it could be a simple copy option that works the same as the "copy to another course" function.

Rise - Can you copy a block between lessons?

Great question! We're looking at early in 2018 for the ability to combine components from one lesson into another one. It's a feature still in development, so once we have more information on timing and specifics of functionality we'll let you know!

Hi there- is there an ETA on the feature allowing for content to be re-organized/moved from one block/lesson to another block/lesson inside the same course?

    You can currently do that inside of Rise now by dragging and dropping the content section when inside of the main course list. You can also duplicate the block section using the three-dot menu to the right of it and then drag and drop the duplicate to wherever you want it to go. That same three-dot contextual menu (Copy to another course) allows you to copy a section over to a completely separate course if you need to.

Hi everyone! We just released a Rise update full of new features and some important fixes, too.

The feature you requested, copying lessons to another course, is live! Check out this tutorial - it’s super easy.

Feel free to let us know what you think!

I appreciate that the team is working on this feature. I for one can't underscore enough how helpful it would be to have it and what a pain it is not to.

Hi Kim,

Thanks for chiming in here! We're looking at a feature that would allow you to copy lessons/blocks from one course to another, but I don't have an ETA for when that'll be available.

We'll keep you posted here and you can also see what features and fixes have been released up to this point by reading the Rise Version history.

  Hello,
  
  I'd like to know how to copy a block from one lesson to another lesson inside the same module. Can Rise do that?

    Hi Missy,
    
    When you click the little dots next to a lesson you'll have two options:
    
    Duplicate will allow you to create a duplicate or a copy within the same course.
    
    Copy to another course will allow you to reuse that lesson inside a new or existing course.
    
    If you're looking to copy individual blocks within a course to another section of the course, look at using the block templates.
    
    Let me know if you need anything else!

I agree, this feature would be very helpful. "copy to" would be good command. Especially when you are looking at an interactive block- it can be very time consuming to set up from scratch. Also certain blocks ie introductions, more information, are used in many different courses.

It would be really good if blocks could be copied between different Rise courses as well as from lesson to lesson.

I hear you--we're excited about this feature, too! No specific timeframe yet, but our team is working on a solution. It'll be available to you immediately after it launches!

We're adding new things to Rise all the time, so stay tuned. 😊
