I love the feature of the side menu for the learner to navigate quickly. However, in one of my courses there are a lot of places to go resulting in the menu being cumbersome. Is there a way to default to have the menu collapsed as shown in the attached file?
Hi there, Robert. Currently, if the sidebar is enabled, the sections will always default to open. We are tracking a feature request to collapse sections by default, however. I'll add your discussion to our report so I can notify you here with any changes!
This request has been ongoing for OVER three years in this and other threads. The threads in themselves are indicative of how important this feature request is for many users and their learners. The fact that it is NOT on your roadmap is concerning!!!
My question is WHY is this not on your roadmap?
You only need to trawl through the threads and requests to see this is not a 'nice to have feature' but a necessity for our learners to simplify their user experience.
In addition - I have just reviewed the features on your roadmap. My concern is that you are adding more bells and whistles but not attending to foundational navigation features to enhance and support the user experience to move through a course.
I have to agree - there are a number of very simple but critical "user experience" improvements that need to be added to Rise (links on images is another), yet we are told these are not on the roadmap.
Why not? What is on the roadmap. I seems to me that Rise is not a priority.
Depending on available resources, how a feature impacts the userbase and development cycles, a feature may or may not be considered. If we have any news on this we'll update you all here or on the roadmap.

We need this feature. We are creating a Terms/Acronyms course. I would LOVE for users to click A and have it expand... click B, and it expands... And, large courses would be so much more learner-friendly. Thank you!
I'll also agree with the idea of collapsible sections to navigate the course. Those would be very useful. Without that feature, the usability of the product really suffers.
Yes, I agree, this feature would be very useful. Especially in the Apex theme, where the lesson names have so much padding that it's difficult to get an overview of the course lessons and sections from the Sidebar.
I would also like to request this feature request. I would like there to be an option that the Sidebar sections to appear collapsed when the Sidebar is first displayed.

any update on this or other requests to make the TOC more customizable? ie - bigger section headers, bolding fonts, etc?
Hey Maggie! We don't have plans to make the main menu customizable right now. Thanks for checking in!

Hi Jim! Thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback. We try to share as much as we can about our process when we can. Here is our current roadmap and this is how we manage feature requests.

This feature is highly desirable!
Would love this as well.
I'm going to make a request for this, too. Thanks.

+1 on this request here and here: Rise - Collapsible Sections in Left Menu - Rise 360 Discussions - E-Learning Heroes (articulate.com)
I would like to add a request for this feature too. For longer courses, the left hand menu would benefit from opening in a collapsed view.
