Turn off animation of icons in labeled graphic when launching lesson
I have a labeled graphic of a report I inserted into a Rise course and it has 20 icons that I've added to explain each of the sections in the report. When the lesson opens and the graphic appears, each of the those icons "flash" as the image loads. We'd like to turn off that "flash" animation as seeing it happen 20 times is distracting! I haven't been able to find any place in Rise settings where I can do this. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Hi Victoria,
I totally get it! The labeled graphic marker animation is only enabled when you place a continue block after the labeled graphic block. Are you using a continue block? You can learn more about this here.
Fill me in and we'll get this figured out :-).
Thanks, Allison. I did have a continue block in place after the labeled graphic, however, when I deleted it just now and previewed the course, the animation is still happening. There is no additional content past this particular labeled graphic at this point. However, we do want to enforce that the learner complete all content through that lesson, and then allow them to access specific content afterward. Do you know of a way to accomplish this without turning on the animation for that specific labeled graphic? If you need me to send you the link to the course so you can see it, I'm happy to do so.
Thanks for your help!
VictoriaHi Victoria,
I had a closer look and I'm seeing the same issue as you are. This is not how it's supposed to work so I've logged a bug on your behalf. I'll be sure to post any updates here. Since you're subscribed to the thread you'll receive a notification.
In the meantime, if there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know!
Thanks, Allison! I took a different approach with this particular lesson, so I think I'm good for now. But, glad I could help uncover a bug! I appreciate your help with troubleshooting this issue.
Sure thing! Thanks for bringing it to our attention. :)
Hello, all! I wanted to pop in to share that you can disable the animation on a labeled graphic block by turning off block entrance animations in the course settings. I hope that helps!
I've tried turning off the block entrance animation, and it stops the image from fading in, but the markers themselves still animate in and flash. I'm looking to disable the markers from animating in and flashing. Is there a way to disable the markers' animation.
Currently there is no way within Rise to disable the marker animations.
Hi Nicole!
Glad to see Karl has been helping you!
Just wanted to share that we are tracking a feature request for additional formatting options for Labeled Graphics in Rise 360. This feature will give authors more control over Marker settings. I've linked this discussion to the feature report and will share updates if it makes it onto our Feature Roadmap.
Have a great start to your week!
Is there a way to get notified if this specific update gets added to the Roadmap? We currently can't use this block as it doesn't meet the baseline Level A standards for web content accessibility guidelines. The issue isn't flagged on the voluntary accessibility conformance report for 2.2.2 (If content moves, scrolls, blinks, or updates automatically for more than 5 seconds, it must be possible to pause it, stop it, or hide it), but it's an issue for us as the animation around the content marker lasts more than 5 seconds and the only way to get it to stop is to view everything (which they wouldn't be able to do in less than 5 seconds after it appears on the screen).
JaredSpeight-22 Jared I would recommend making a theme component to fix this, until this is addressed in the software. It would look like below.
.labeled-graphic-marker__pin::after { animation: none; display: none; }I made a video about fully branding/customizing the markers:
