I think it would be helpful to be able to see a summary/report of all out-going links that are within a Rise course.
For example, our courses often "point to" resources in SharePoint, our LMS catalog, or our central Policy repository. Right now there is no way to see, at a glance, that "oh, this course links people to these external URLs".
This would be helpful especially if needing to update a link used across several items (Use Case: the Privacy Policy link changed, or something like that). In this use case, the first question I'd ask myself is: "okay, where did we use that link?"
When you "point to" resources in Sharepoint or on policy central, when the user clicks on those while in the Rise course does the external link opens in a new tab, and does the course drop to the taskbar? This is what happens to the courses I have developed and we end up getting lost os user's saying "I don't know how to find the course again" even with a warning built into the course that this might happen. Does this happen to anyone else? is there a solution? Is it my LMS? What LMS systems does this not happen on?

This would be a great feature.
We currently use an Excel spreadsheet that helps us keeps track of every link used in each course.
Having the links in an Excel file also allows us to do a quarterly check to ensure that the links are still valid.
Nice management technique, Karl. Wouldn't it be FAB if there was a way to export that list from a Rise course?
