Is there a way to change the margins in Rise. Also, I'm working with an image/text - the imagine is the right size; however, the margins for the text is way too small.
Also is there a way to change the spacing; i.e., there's way too much space between paragraphs, bullet points, etc.
It sounds like you're hoping to change the margins within the text itself, not the overall margins for the Rise lesson? I know both ideas have been shared with our team as a feature request, so I want to link your discussion to those requests and we'll keep you posted here if they're added to Rise.
Good morning. I’ve created a labeled graphic of a telephone with 12 markers. Each marker has text and a picture attached to it. I’m only having trouble with one marker. When I’m trying to type the text or numbering items, everything disappears as tho it’s not there (the typing area is white). However, when I preview it, the text and picture are there. I deleted the marker and recreated it and the same thing happened.
What am I doing wrong? Please help. ☹

Thanks for bringing this up! Are you seeing this problem in Chrome?
If so, we've seen the same problem, particularly when there is enough text in the marker to create a scroll bar and when using Chrome.
Until we get a fix in place, other Rise users found you can work around this issue by zooming out a bit in the Chrome browser. Let me know if that helps you!
Can you please advise if this is something that will be looked at further? Currently the text within a Rise course is around 50% of the available area; however a picture will use all available space. It would be great if all the area is able to be utilised so that students do not have to scroll as much. I have attached a screen shot. Thanks.
I must say that while I love Rise, I really dislike the different left-hand margins of the blocks. The inconsistency is awful. If you use a Statement D block, the margin is a lot smaller than a Text or 2 Column text block.
I've found that I can use a Statement D block like a paragraph block and reduce it's font size if I'm going to use a Text and image block below it, as the margins will match. But I always try and use blocks that have similar margins together, so that it doesn't jump around too much.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a consistent margin and block width for all blocks? The Statement D block and Image Centered blocks are wider than the Paragraph text and 2 column text blocks.
What I'd really like is to be able to set the overall content width in Rise, and have consistent margins for all.
+1 for all issues regarding inconsistent margins and the overly compressed nature of text in particular, especially considering more and more users have wide monitors. We should be able to specify these margins and padding on our own. These are very basic requests.
+1 to making L-R margins consistent across blocks at minimum and making them adjustable ideally.
The issue depicted in the attached seems more like an error than an inconsistency. When viewed in editing or preview mode on my laptop, the margins in image + text blocks are inconsistent when switching from having the image on the L or the R. When previewed on the horizontal tablet version, they are aligned. This happens in both of the courses I've checked.
Hi Margaret! What you're seeing is expected behavior. If you click-and-drag the edge of your browser window left and right, you'll see the margins shift depending on the width of the browser.
Editors HATE HATE HATE not being able to specify margins. Clients lament about it quite often. Just adding my experience as I see this has long been a request.
The text auto wraps (and the pictures shrink) when the window shrinks below the currently set standard width, so can't that be done for full-screen?
As mentioned by others, when using the window at full screen, more than 50% of the block is empty margin space ... leaving only a little over 1/3 of the screen in the middle of the block for text or spreadsheets, etc.
Me too. I have a table with just three columns, and even that involves a ridiculous amount of scrolling that could be eliminated if I could simply adjust the margins to use the acres of white space on either side. How can this be so hard?

Hi Sandy,
Good news - we have now fixed this issue with the Labeled Graphic Marker.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Hi Ashley

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for your feedback! Would you be up for logging a feature request to tell us more about your specific needs?
In the meantime, if there’s anything else I can do to help, please let me know!

Thanks, Barry. We're tracking the request for more control over padding and margins, and I've added your perspective to our report.
We'll let you know if we release any changes that help!

Hi, has there been any movement in terms of widening the text margins. Currently getting used to Rise but unable to reduce text margins left and right
Hi Jonny! We don't have any updates to share at the moment but as soon as we do, we will post an update here. Thanks.
Heya, just adding my voice to this request. Extendable margins (or at least consistent margins!) would be very helpful to look and feel.
Ditto - having control over left/right margins would be amazing or at least have consistent margins. Please add this to your roadmap :)

Hazel please look at the rest of my message and attachment; I think there's an error/bug in the image + text block.

+1 for consistent margins and adjustable margins
Editors HATE HATE HATE not being able to specify margins. Clients lament about it quite often. Just adding my experience as I see this has long been a request.
Definitely +1 for adjustable margins!
Does anyone know if this has been changed yet?
Has anyone discovered a "work around"?
The text auto wraps (and the pictures shrink) when the window shrinks below the currently set standard width, so can't that be done for full-screen?

+1 for adjustable margins. I have a table with eight columns. Having some additional space would be a value add.
+1 for adjustable margins, it can sometimes look like a waste of space if there is a lot of text
Is there any update on this one?
Me too. I have a table with just three columns, and even that involves a ridiculous amount of scrolling that could be eliminated if I could simply adjust the margins to use the acres of white space on either side. How can this be so hard?
Nov. 2022 and still no margin adjustments.
