Hey Henrik,
It looks like right now we can only use the characters in the content library. I would definitely encourage you to submit this idea as a product feature if you haven't already!
You can do that here: Request a product feature.
Character Images are just PNG's in the assets folder of your export, you could just replace them with your own, just make sure they're named the same.
Thank you I will Kind regards
Hi Craig, I will definitely try that, thanks for the tip!
Also, you can add animated Gifs as the background images which can help to bring it alive
Interesting... Will try that. But the old gif format with 8 bit colours does not feel like the future. I wonder if different png formats such as apng could work, hmmm
if you have software that creates animated SVG's you can also use them
Wow! Thanks a lot :)

I agree that it would be awesome if we could add our own characters straight in Rise for more customization! I think it'd be easier to preview the scenarios straight in there, and would make sure no replacements are missed when re-exporting the course out though.
Thanks for the alternative suggestion in the meantime until we have this feature available to us though, Craig :)
I would love to be able to add my own characters as the character images in the content library look a little too American.
I've been replacing them after publishing like Craig also suggested, but it would be nice to know that my client didn't have to do that after I leave the project.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your feedback on adding your own characters to scenario blocks! If we add this feature in the future, we'll let you know.
+1 on this request, if I may!

Up!
+1 on this request, please!
Can't agree more with all, I'm in the healthcare industry and the characters need to be very specific, so having the option of adding our own will be very beneficial.
Thanks, Anna and everyone. You'll be notified if we post any updates here!
+ 1 on this request please! Would be a real timesaver.
+1!
Also adding to the request to either allow for adding our own characters or Rise increasing the sample choices in the scenario bank to include more diverse characters such as members of the GLBTQS+ community, health care providers in the community as well as acute care settings, elderly receiving care in community, nonprofessionals, etc. Thanks!
+1 We'd love to be able to use the built in scenario tool. But it doesn't match our company brand.
+1 we need to use charachters that are within our brand so it would be great if it was possible to edit the charachters directly in the scenairo tool
+1 for using my own character in scenarios.
I'm building a course special characters and it would be awesome if we could put them in our scenarios.
