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 Alyssa,

That's worked for me - thanks for sharing the link. 

Really appreciated!

Paul

Hi there Paul!

If you want to copy blocks from one lesson to another, using Block Templates is the way to go! 

Is there something you're trying to achieve that Block Templates won't accomplish? If so, let us know! We'd love to hear your feedback on how we can improve this feature. Thanks!

Any word on the feature of copying blocks from one lesson to another ... or is it still the work around of creating a template block?  

I was happy to discover the Block Templates feature. I needed to combine some content between lessons in more than one course, and I really didn't want to recreate the content.

Essentially, I wanted to be able to copy and paste a block from a lesson in one course to a lesson in another course. I just created a template block, copied the blocks I wanted, saved the template block, then created a block in my second course, using the template block to produce a copy of the block in the second course.

Really would have preferred a simpler copy and paste operation, but this got the job done. I hope that you will consider allowing designers to easily copy blocks from course to course in the future.

Thanks, B Jue for sharing some additional enhancements you'd like to see with the block templates. It sounds like you'd want something similar to how a slide master behaves in Powerpoint, that you could re-apply it to an existing section to take on any changes made?

It's always helpful to know what tools and features you need for course design, so I appreciate you taking the time to share. If you have more details please feel free to let me know, or include it here as a feature request!

Block templates are well and good, but I want to be able to create a structure for the template as I build the course, then do another design pass and enhance the template then have those enhancements apply to each place they occur. For example, say I want to create a flashcard template then later add graphics to each card front in the "master" only one time. Seeing as applying a template only copies the template blocks, I'd have to add those graphics to every flashcard throughout the entire course multiple times.

Hi Ollie! Yes, you can reuse blocks and their content in other lessons using Block Templates!

Check out this short video to see how it's done. 👀

Hello everyone!

Hi Stuart, 

Thanks for chiming in here too! The feature I mentioned is still in the works, but I love your ideas and will make sure those get into the hands of our product team. 

In the meantime, take a look at the folders in Rise to see if that helps you categorize and group your courses!
