Rise - change size of headers and lesson titles
When bulding courses in Rise I've noticed that it's impossible to change size of the header space (top marigin) or font size of the lesson's title. What I woud like to do is to get rid of all the empty space between the title and the first block of content. In the attached phot I marked the areas that I want to be able to edit. The final goal is to avoid scrolling down the page when I insert a Storyline block to Rise or just any other block of content or interactivity. I already turned off Previous and Next buttons from navigation and removed all padding from content blocks but it's still not enough. Does Articulate360 team consider adding such functions for editing marigins? Thank you

Here are some visual comparisons of what I describe above.
Ephraim, thanks for this and I have been going wild playing around with the CSS adjustments I see are now possible. However, I'm completely lost on something as I'm fairly new to Rise...
I take the course in question, download it as "web" which gets me the zip file, go in and make my edits as you described and save the edited CSS file. From that point, I know I can check my work by looking at the index file, but now I have no idea how to upload the header-free course back up into Rise.
Would you or anyone who has tried the CSS edit approach out know how to pull this off? Thanks in advance.

Some quality hacking going on right there! :)
Thanks - but I wouldn't call it hacking. Articulate Rise is a great product, but it suffers from the same simplicity that makes it so great. Fortunately you can tweak just about everything from that main stylesheet (CSS).
I wonder if there's a market for Articulate Rise customizations. It would be neat to put together a bunch of power tricks to address some of the more frustrating elements of the software from a designer's perspective.I would totally like to work on that with you! rex@karinrex.com
I am in too. In addition, if we could make the same changes in the titles that we can make in the text that would be great. For example, being able to use the subscripts and superscripts in titles, for the math users among us.
If you guys send me your email addresses, I will use Doodle to find a time for us to meet in January?

Hi there, Maria. Just a heads up that you can privately send Karin your email address using the Contact Me button on her profile. Feel free to delete your address from the public forum!
Please add me to the mix on this too. Hopefully I've missed something in the past year on this one...
Come to think of it, is there anything cooking in Rise development for HTML editor or CSS-related customizations?
Hi Blair,
We don't have an HTML editor or CSS-related customizations on our roadmap right now. Thanks for letting us know you need more customization options!
Thanks Alyssa - in the meantime, Ephraim's tweak above totally works and has opened up a lot of opportunities (so long as you aren't afraid of looking at code)
Hi Blair,
I tried it out. What I did was to zip the file back. I then uploaded to my LMS or published to the web. It worked fine for me.
No doubt, updating the CSS - whether published for web or SCORM - absolutely gets the job done. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to bring the updated files back into Rise to retain the changes for further editing within the tool. As a result, there's really no way that I've found to use Articulate Review when making changes to the course outside of Rise. This adds to the level of workflow complexity - as a separate review tool needs to be used for client reviews (alpha, beta).
Has this feature been added yet? I have used SL for a few years but am new to RISE and this feature is one that I will definitely require.
Hi, Nancy. Not yet! We'll post any changes as soon as we can.
Has any progress been made here? My client is requesting edits to headers and I'm not able to oblige.
Hello, Christa. Not yet. Changes to our lesson headers and spacing aren't on the immediate roadmap, but we'll let you know if that changes.
