Rise and "exit course" button
Hello,
Is there an 'exit course" button in Rise? Once in the LMS, it seems there isn't a way for students to exit the program.
Thank you!

Yes there is such a button but it needs to be enabled.
Access your course and select EXPORT.
Scroll to the very bottom of the page.
Set the toggle switch for Exit Course Link to ON.
Now EXIT COURSE will appear in the top right-hand corner of the course window for learners.
Note that you can edit this label to say whatever you want.
Thank you so much!
Thanks Karl! I appreciate your help.
I found the opportunity to add an "exit" button too.
Thanks again!

Is there a way to edit the style of this button? It can be hard to see from a user perspective
Hi Maggie,
If you use the interactive button type, you can edit the color of the button. As for the button that is always on screen (toggled on/off during export), you can only change the wordage (in settings>labels).
I personally prefer to have my course open in a separate window when launched. This way the learner can exit the window at any point and they will be returned to where the SCORM launched from.
I like to toggle the all-encompassing exit button off, and I use the interactive Exit button as a way for learners to feel accomplished after finishing a course. They are met with a customizable (in settings>labels) message saying their completion has been recorded and that they may exit the window.
Hi
My lms does not have the capability to launch the course in a new window.. so I need the exit course button.
I am unable to see the way to edit the exit course button that the export settings create. Is there a way to do that?Maggie DeAngelis

You cannot format the exit course link that the export settings creates.
All you can do is edit the label.
Is this something that you may think of changing?

Hey there, Maggie. Thanks for letting us know that you'd like some additional formatting options with the Exit Course link -- I'll share it with the team! In the meantime, you can also use a button block anywhere in your lessons to include a button to exit the course.

2 questions on the exit button
1. The one that you enable from Export settings is so pale that folks don't see it. Is there someway you can make that stand out more? I'm getting complaints about it.
2. How do I build an exit button on the course in Rise instead of using the one enabled in Export?
One other question, if folks don't complete the presentation built in Articulate or don't click the exit button, and they click the Next Button in the DLMS it is sometimes just buffering. They would like there to be a message that displays that they need to finish the Articulate portion before they proceed. Is there a way to do that?
Hi Rosemary, great questions! I'm happy to help answer them.
- Thanks for sharing your learners are having trouble seeing the Exit Course link at the top of the course. While there isn't a way to change the color right now, I'll pass along that feedback to my team.
- You can build an Exit Course button by adding a button block to a lesson. Edit the block, and choose "Exit the course (LMS only)" as the Destination.
- Your LMS may have a setting that allows you to customize messaging, but there isn't a way to control that in Rise 360.
Let me know if you have more questions about that!
On # 2. I’ve added this to the course. I can’t tell if it’s working until I finish the course and load it in the DLMS. When people finish a section of a course a green checkmark shows up on the LMS navigation tree next to the appropriate section.
1. Can you tell me using the button and saying Exit the LMS, will cause the green checkmark to appear?
2. Will it take them all the way out of the LMS, even if there are other components to the course they need to complete OR will it take them out of the Articulate portion?On #3. The problem I’m having, which seems to be a recent occurrence, is that folks are clicking the Next button on the LMS navigation bar and it is just spinning. I don’t know if this has to do with them not exiting the Articulate presentation or something else.
Thanks for your response.
RosemaryWe also have issues with learners not seeing this. And on some screen sizes it gets pushed off the side. We're editing the css code to say "max-device-width" not "max-width" to ensure that it is getting onto the screens but learners are still not seeing it because it is so pale
Same question two years later. The exit button is still too small. Any update on editing by designers?
I also don't see the destination shown in your example above. I added the block but it didn't close the training.
Hi Angela. There isn't a way to modify the Exit course button, but if anything changes, we will post an update here.
Here is a quick video demonstration of how you can use a button block as your exit course button: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/14a55c52-0773-435a-a08a-d0477511e54b/review
Thank you, and let us know how it goes.
Hi Rosemary! Great questions!
1. Can you tell me using the button and saying Exit the LMS, will cause the green checkmark to appear? The green checkmark appears only when every block in the lesson is viewed. So, if the Exit Course button is the last block in the lesson, the green checkmark will appear as soon as they scroll to that last block.
2. Will it take them all the way out of the LMS, even if there are other components to the course they need to complete OR will it take them out of the Articulate portion? The Exit Course button should close the Rise 360 course and take the learner back to the LMS.Finally, you mentioned that learners are clicking the next button in the LMS navigation bar, and it' just spins. That would be an excellent question for your LMS team, since Rise 360 doesn't affect that.
I have the Exit Course button enabled, but it doesn't seem to be working. When I upload the course and launch it in SuccessFactors, it doesn't work or even seem to respond as an active button. Have there been an changes lately that would cause this?
Hello, Brittaney! Thanks for sharing the details of what you're seeing in SuccessFactors.
A great way to answer that question, "Is it my output, or is it the LMS?" is to test with SCORM Cloud. If it works properly on SCORM Cloud, it's a good indication that the issue is in the LMS.
