I was having an issue with a Rise course in Docebo. Users said it was crashing/all content lost, while other Rise lessons in the same Docebo course were still worked just fine.
It turns out a button that should have linked to another lesson in the course was not defined and anytime someone clicked on it the entire Rise course went blank.
I would love a way to automatically check for this issue, it was really difficult to find the problem!

Hi,
Rise does not have a function to check for dead links.
We have all of our links in an Excel file and check them from there.
Thanks Karl , all useful
That's ridiculous that you have to do that, though. There should be an easier way!
Hi Beth,
It was a total pain to create the Excel file, but now it is extremely handy to have every link used in all of our courses in one place.
Just today I needed to find all the courses that used a specific video and I was able to do so very quickly.
Hi Karl
How do you guys check those links? Do you have some kind of automated tool?
Cheers
Hi Peter,
I created a VB script in Excel that checks if the URL's are valid.
There are several different ways of doing this in Excel.

Hi Caron,
What testing /QA validation do you do before publishing a course to your LMS?
