Rise hyperlinks
I am trying to find a way to branch out to different lessons from within the marker card on a labelled graphic.
I know I can use a button to link to lessons, but I'm pretty sure I can't insert a button into the marker card. I can insert a text hyperlink, but I believe this can't link to individual lessons, only URLs.
Many thanks.
Hi everyone!
Great news! 🎉 The hyperlink enhancements many of you have been asking for are now available in Rise 360!
You can now link text or images to a specific lesson or even a specific block within a lesson, giving you more flexibility to guide learners exactly where you want them to go in your course.
This capability started in Rise Labs with links to lessons and expanded based on feedback to include links to specific blocks. It’s now out of Labs and available in Rise 360.
Thank you to everyone who shared your use cases and feedback in this discussion over the years. Your input helped us understand how valuable more flexible navigation would be for your courses. We hope you enjoy giving it a try!

Hello, Niall. Besides the sidebar menu, button blocks in Rise 360 are currently the only way to click to another lesson.
It sounds like having the option to hyperlink text to other lessons would be helpful, so I'm logging a feature request on your behalf!
Hi, any updates on this? Its been quite some time.
I would love to have the option to use hypertext links to lessons as well. A client keeps asking for it in the regular flow of text, and they can't understand why it isn't possible.
Thanks for your feedback, John! I'll add your voice to the request.
Hi everyone,
Is there any way to insert self-referential hyperlinks in Rise? In other words, a link that would return the learner back to a previous point in the tutorial? John Mayer, I think this is the same question/request you had. Thanks for any insights!
Hi Amy,
When you use a button block to navigate to a different lesson, Rise is not aware of your point of origin, so there is no easy way to get back to where you were before.
So sadly it is a one-way link. Wish Rise could do what you are asking about.
So sadly it is a one-way link YES!
I submitted a request for Rise internal links over a year ago that has been gaining momentum, but clearly not yet enough to get to the top of the R & D "To Do" list. I strongly believe that this would be a really useful tool for a large number of people in the community and would dearly love to see it implemented.
Thanks so much, everyone, for your lending your insights. Karl that makes total sense now! Ned, that would be a useful tool. Maybe we'll see it in the future. For now, I added the Button since that seemed the only way to accomplish the task.
Thanks again!
I'm also keen to be able to Hyper link. I'd love to attach hyper links to documents. That would sit outside of Rise
Hi All!
Thanks again for letting us know this feature is important to you. We're still tracking requests for hyperlinking to other lessons. If we have any updates for you all, we'll be sure to let you know!Please add my vote to the request for internal hyperlinks to other Rise lessons. Button blocks are handy but interrupt text flow. Yes, please add it to your updates! Thank you.

Have hyperlinks been added yet? I need to add multiple navigation options and the buttons just don't cut it.
Ideally I would like to be able to add hyperlinks that navigate to specific Rise pages inside a storyline file at the beginning of a Rise course since that is the interactive component used as an intro to the tool I am creating. Rise is just so inflexible, it makes it hard to do the kinds of things that would make it so much more valuable in the long run.
The ability to add links throughout a file, not just buttons or vertical buttons (yeesh) would be incredible. If I could add a link to a specific section in Rise from within a storyline file, that would be gold for me, right now.
