+1 - This is such a basic function. As a minimum it must be easy to allow an external URL to be added to an image. We can do this for text... why not an image??? This discussion is over 3 years old, is this feature coming?
I have to use either an ugly Zoom image when I embed the URL or download/upload a 90MB video. Would be so much easier to insert an image of my title slide in my Rise content and attach a link to the image. User clicks image and redirects to external URL.
This is a 3 years long pending feature request with Rise. We should have this feature to include the image hyperlinks to move/jump both inside the course and outside URLs.
Totally agree with SibaPrasad. Why can't the current image block just include an option to hyperlink the image to the course content or an external link. Would make life so much easier.
I reached this thread looking for the same functionality. Surprised this feature request has not been implemented yet. While storyline blocks workaround is good, an inbuilt feature will save time.
Come on developers at Articulate this is must. Having hyperlinked text is old school, at the very least we should have the option to hyperlink an image (also to adjust its size so it's not just limited to 25, 50, 75 & 100%). This request has been over 3 years in the making and still no progress...
What is Articulate doing with their time? This is a BASIC feature and has been requested for the last THREE YEARS!
Honestly, very disappointed with Articulate when it comes to feature requests. There are multiple ones that are years old that have not been addressed.
Crystal built this example using a Storyline block that has an image hyperlinking to a website. She removed the Storyline player so the image blends seamlessly with the Rise 360 lesson. Let us know if you have any more questions about this!
This technique has been talked about before, but it's a bandaid solution. I need the flexibility to add a link to any image, wether in an image block, quote, grid, accordion, etc.
One problem I find with the Storyline Block is the extra spacing between it and the text. There is no way to make the image appear as to be part of the text because it is not possible to get rid of that spacing.
Why is it so difficult to implement this? If you could at least explain why it takes so much time to implement or fix basic features that many people ask for, it might be less frustrating for us.
In the past 3 years, I have submitted 3 issues pertaining to Rise 360.
Add hyperlink to images (2017)
Unable to modify text formatting of hyperlink (2017)
Change bullet color in Rise to match the color of text (2018)
Rise is a great tool, but it's so limited for even simple features like the ones mentioned above. It's crazy to think that it's been 4 years now and there hasn't been much innovation/updates to Rise since then.
I agree. Rise is a nice tool but come on now. Seems like Rise.com took precedent over Rise 360. It's getting a bit noisy in here but I still see nothing happening as far as the MANY common sense type requests, including many that are considered "mainstream essential" by any 2021 standards.
I agree, I'm personally tracking a number of bugs or requests for "features" that, like this one, should be considered basic functionality. Many of them have pages of users begging for some kind of movement but they have been ignored for years.
What can we do to make Articulate listen to us? If anyone has suggestions, I'm listening!

Hi Jim,
We're still tracking this request, and your contribution helps us monitor the impact. Thanks for letting us know you need this feature!
Agree - this is a long time coming...add me to the list of wanting this feature.
:( please add me too....

For the lack of a cleaner option - here is how I solved this problem. :(

Going to add my plus one here too, (and so I am notified when/if there is an update)
Please add me to the list of users asking for the ability to link an external URL to an image in Rise.
I'm not really a Storyline user yet so finding a workaround in there from the comments above is going to take me some time. Ugh.
Hi, is there any news on this topic? Does is make sense tot make new feature request?
Thank you!
Thanks for checking in, Linda! I'm sorry I don't have anything new to share. We'll post an update if we get new information that will help.

Did you build this in Articulate and then import into Rise? Newer to Rise, and trying to figure out how to hyperlink an image I have.

Absolutely right, Martin. Rise is great, but it should evolve. It seems unchanged since the first time I used it.

Honestly, what's the use of a subscription-based product when features continually requested by customers are ignored?
Really? Over 3 years and no movement on this?? This is not an isolated incident, there are MANY requests that are ignored (years old requests).
