When adding images to Rise tabs and accordians they are automatically left aligned which is ok if the image is landscape and fills the space but if the image is smaller it doesn't look great. It would be good to have the option to centre images and also resize. (Maybe I'm missing something?)
Within those lesson types, the images are left aligned, and I know a few other users have shared their feedback on that as a feature request ( share yours with us right here. 😁 ).
Although it wouldn't impact this set up, I did want to share our Rise best practices for working with images. Some good reminders about how the content will display based on responsive design.
Images in the Tabs and Accordion blocks are left-aligned by default, but keep in mind the extra white space to the right of the image will vary depending on the device you're viewing the course on. To test it, click Preview, then select Mobile Portrait.
It sounds like you would like to see more options for customizing the alignment. I can definitely pass that idea along to the product team! Thanks for reaching out. 😀
just to reinforce what others have already said - I too would like to be able to centre the images. I can completely understand that where the images are located will change depending on the device being used - however if we were able to centre them in the space provided, then they would remain centred on all devices. For the overall look of the modules, this would be a great benefit and would make a great future enhancement to Rise.
But what we really need is access to the full HTML editor inside the Accordion so we can add what we need rather than being limited by Rise (e.g., add 2 or more images, fix nested lists, etc.)
I have stopped using the Accordion block because of its limitations, except in the simplest use case (where I don't need more than one image, formatting is minimal, etc.).
Also requesting this feature...I just started using Rise and am very surprised that we do not have control over basic image formatting within the accordion blocks.
Thanks, Devlin for chiming in on this - and we'll keep you posted! Also, you may want to keep an eye on the “What’s New” page and our Rise Version history to see what's new and what's coming!
Another person here wanting to be able to centre the image. Basic formatting functionality would be great to have to make the learning look more professional
Also would like this feature. Too bad with a year-long thread like this, that the feature has gone ignored by the developers. Doesn't give me hope for the future...
Totally agree with the guys above in terms of positioning images, and in addition it would be very helpful to optionally give users access to the HTML Editor, as Donald already mentioned.
It would be helpful to perform some basic formatting on images in tabs and accordions. Aligning or resizing images so the space is balanced or filled would allow a degree of aesthetic improvement. I feel that now it must appear to my client that I just didn't bother to make finishing touches.
I understand what you mean. Please take a moment to submit a feature request here, it never hurts to get more customers requesting a feature. Thanks :)
Hi Luis! Sorry we don't have an update for you right now, but now that you're subscribed to this thread you'll get any future updates that we post here. Thanks!
If your images are coming up too small in the tabs, it's most likely because your images are too small. You need to have higher resolution images here for it to display properly. The higher the better.
And a note to everyone regarding this:
My workaround has been to expand the image in question's width in Photoshop. White or transparent backgrounds will work, so long as the canvas's width is extended. Experiment with the sizes to get the one that's right for your image.
Realistically this should be a feature. Several blocks could use it, not just the accordion block. Give the users more formatting power Articulate!

Thanks for weighing in, David! Always helpful to hear from more customers who need a particular feature.
This has been on my long Rise wish list (C,9.) at https://community.articulate.com/discussions/rise/my-rise-wish-list

I'm looking to make my images smaller in the accordion but it looks like this isn't possible?
Hi Jeanne,
We haven't add a feature to crop or resize those images in Rise yet, but we'll keep you posted here if we do!

And another person who is a centrist!

Hi Wendy, Gordon, Ros,
Thanks for reaching out! I’ve added your feedback and you’ll automatically be notified of any updates we share here.
Totally agree with the guys above in terms of positioning images, and in addition it would be very helpful to optionally give users access to the HTML Editor, as Donald already mentioned.
+1 centering images should be an easy change.
Thanks for your feedback Max and Luis! I've added your voices to the feature request.
I agree with everyone, this would be a great enhancement to the accordion blocks.

Will this be seriously considered? If so, when? It seems like users have been asking for this feature for over a year.

Hello,
Even though I don't see the ability, I wanted to ask: Is there a way to expand an image to the borders of the tab? My images look small on the tabs.
Thank you for taking my question and I apologize if it's been answered a million times over.
Holly
