Are there any secrets to formatting text on a flash card stack. I am trying to list some items, but have to use the trial and error method to get the spacing right and is very time consuming? Any tips?
Thanks for reaching out here! It sounds similar to a possible bug reported to our team earlier this week where the longer text is not wrapping or scaling correctly on a Flashcard.
How much text are you trying to add? If you can send me the "Share" link for your Rise course, I can take a look at that too!
Hi there, Fredrik. Thanks for the share link! It looks like you might be looking for left justification of the text, and possibly better line breaks. We're working on improving both of those formatting features.
I'm adding your comment to our documentation so we can notify you if a fix comes out. Sorry about the trouble!
Hello Fredrik! Thank you for the further clarification.
Are you experiencing this issue on a mobile device? I know that iOS devices, for instance, scrollbars do not display until you begin scrolling.
In addition, we do have an issue reported where the text fades and cannot be seen on mobile devices as well. I will add this thread to the report for user impact.
Are you only seeing this on the back of the flash cards? I'm seeing it on the front and back of Flashcards and it doesn't matter what order the cards are in (happens on the 1st and the 2nd).
It was an issue that we previously fixed, but seems to have resurfaced - can you tell me what browser/version you were using? I was testing in Chrome ver 61.0.3163.100
Hi - Wanted to see if there was an update on this. Trying to left justify bullets on the backs of flashcard stacks and it will only stay centered. Thanks!
Sorry to hear that you've run into this issue as well with your flashcards. Are you only using one or two? We are nailing down the issue and it seems to be happening when there are less than 3 strange enough. Our team is still looking into this.
I tried using a flashcard where I added a picture in the front and test on the back. When I flip over it seems fine other than the text is lighter color near the scroll points. But when I flip the card over back to the picture, I can still see the words through the picture. Is that a bug as well?
No, I don't see the same problems when the cards are showing one at a time
in a carousel. I do see the problem the the cards are next to each other
and I flip them. I have a picture on the first side and content
(scrollable) on the back of the card.
As Alyssa mentioned above, we want to be sure to keep you updated!
You'll be happy to know that we have an update to Rise today:
Enhanced: Text in flashcard blocks can now be left-aligned.
In fact, there are now five alignment options for text throughout Rise: left, center, right, justify, and a new option to return to the default alignment for the selected text. Learn more.
There's nothing to install. New features and fixes are immediately available, though you might need to export a Rise course again to update existing published output with a new feature or bug fix.
All the details on our Rise updates can be found here.
Hello everyone! I am still getting the same issue. My third flashcard is being formatted differently then the rest. Font is larger and centered. Even if I format it using Rise it will not match with the other flashcards. I make sure all text is same size and third flashcard looks smaller now and the bullet point is bigger than the rest.

I have also problems with Flashcard text formatting. Bug?

The scroll funktion is not obvious, I've seen Rise courses where the text is fading. Here you can not see the text amount.

Occurs both on iOS, Desktops (Chrome, Safari).
The scrollbars and the text fade? Any way you could record a quick Peek of that happening for us?
Hey Fredrik - we are working on a fix for the issues you're seeing. We should have it out this week.
Ok great news. Thanks.
I have a formatting issue with Flashcard stacks -
The 2nd and 3rd flashcards do not allow for left alignment of text for the back of card. It forces centre alignment.
Any tips on this issue?
Hi Ch'an,
Are you only seeing this on the back of the flash cards? I'm seeing it on the front and back of Flashcards and it doesn't matter what order the cards are in (happens on the 1st and the 2nd).

Now it appears to be the front and back of the cards. Also, happening on 1st and 2nd cards.
I'm working on Chrome - Version 61.0.3163.100
Thanks for confirming Ch'an, it sounds like we're seeing the same thing. I've got this reported to my team so I'll be in touch as soon as I can.

Hi Jordyn!

Hi - I'm using 5 right now and the bullets are left-justified but the text is centered.
Hi Jordyn,
Could you include a Share link with us here? I'd love to take a look at what you set up and see if I can spot anything else.

Uh oh, Marcela! That definitely shouldn't happen. When you test this sample Rise course, do you see the same problem?
If so, what web browser are you using? These are supported for viewing Rise content.
No, I don't see the same problems when the cards are showing one at a time
in a carousel. I do see the problem the the cards are next to each other
and I flip them. I have a picture on the first side and content
(scrollable) on the back of the card.
Thank you so much
Marcela
Hi Marcela,
I added more text to the backs of the cards in the Flashcard Grid here so that the text is scrollable.
What web browser are you using when you see the problem happening in the sample link I shared above?
Any update on fixing the left align feature of flashcards?
Hi Learning and Development,
Thanks for checking in. We're still investigating this alignment issue on Rise Flashcards. As soon as we get updates on this, we'll let you know!
