Deleting lessons
Hi there,
Hoping I'm not missing something simple, but I can't seem to delete lessons. Can someone please help me out? :)

Hi Laura,
Thanks for your question!
To delete a lesson, hover over the lesson, click the three dots that appear to the right, and then click Delete.
Watch this quick GIF to see deleting a lesson in action.
Please reach out if I can help with anything else!
This works for Lessons, but how to you delete a quiz? There is no delete option on the drop down menu.
You should see a 4th option Delete on the drop-down.
I agree. Indeed there is a fourth option to delete a lesson.
I should have started a new thread devoted to quiz blocks. As you see in the image there is no option to delete a QUIZ. That's what I need to do.

I was able to get that missing delete option to show up. I had to toggle between preview and edit. Once it appeared, I zapped it. Problem solved.
Hi folks. I've just come across the same issue. It seems that you need to go into the quiz and delete each question. Once you have done that you can go back to the main menu/table of contents and then the "Delete" option is available.
I guess this is an extra layer of protection.
I hope that helps.
Kind regards
Chris
Not sure why you are not seeing the delete button.
It is always available for me without having to first delete the questions.
Hi folks!
You do not need to delete every quiz question to delete a quiz lesson. Simply click the three dots to the right of the lesson, and select Delete.
If you're still having trouble, try this:
- Add a new lesson in your course called "Quiz".
- Click Add Content and select Quiz.
- This will insert a sample quiz with 2 questions. Click the back arrow to go back to the main course menu.
- Click the three dots to the right of the quiz lesson, and select Delete.
Interesting.
Alyssa is right that when I create a new quiz it can be deleted without the need to delete the questions first.
However, the fact remains that on the quiz I created earlier the delete option was not available until I deleted the questions in the quiz. I haven't been able to recreate this bug with the new quiz I created so I'm not sure it if relates to a particular configuration of the settings for the quiz, the quiz questions or is a browser caching issue.
Cheers
Chris
Hey Chris,
Thanks for letting me know you're not seeing the issue when deleting a new quiz. I agree that it could be a browser caching issue – please let us know if you run into this again!
Yes, you will see two different hand styles one that looks like it's going to move. Then just slightly roll the mouse up and it will change to a pointing finger on a hand.
Thanks for the specifics you provided, Treena. I simply could not access to delete function after hovering or clicking on 3 dots until you differentiated between the hand with a pointing finger!
This needs some UX work. Really hard to detect. If you drag your mouse up the icons, the cursor actually flickers between the hand and the finger. I think the target neds to be bigger.
A year late, but I second this comment. The target for the three dots is so small that it's very difficult to hit them and get the menu to display.
Wow does this need work. I have spent way too much time trying to get the mouse to shift to the arrow to delete. Can someone advise, as I am still holding onto content that will not allow me to remove
Hi Stefanie,
It sounds like Rise 360 isn't letting you delete lessons. That definitely shouldn't happen, so let's look at this a little closer.
- What web browser are you using? Do you notice a difference if you switch to a new browser?
- Are you the owner of this course, or a collaborator?
- If you create a new course that contains lessons with mock content, can you delete a lesson in that new course?
