I got a bit carried away (having fun!) and was adding all my blocks to one lesson. I now want to move or copy some of the blocks to a separate lesson or section. Or can I duplicate an entire lesson (and delete the extra blocks)? Is there a way to easily do this that I'm missing? Thanks. j
We're working on a feature right now to duplicate lessons. It's weeks away. Sorry you don't have it now, but since Articulate 360 is a subscription you'll get it the day it's released.
Would this include incorporating multiple types of content into one lesson? For example, whenever I create a lesson it locks me into whatever type of content I choose and I have not found a way to switch between content types in the same lesson.
Hey, Tim! It sounds like you'd be interested in the Blocks lesson type in Rise. In a Blocks lesson, you can incorporate different content into one lesson. Check out this video tutorial on Rise; you'll see around timestamp 6:15 where Tom demonstrates Blocks!
Once you have started a lesson type, however, you won't be able to change it to a different type. You can create a new lesson and delete any lessons that are unnecessary.
To move blocks from one lesson to another, therefore, we have to duplicate the course first? Then, open each course in a separate browser window. Select, copy, and paste the content from one to the other. Right?
Hi Jan! Perhaps I'm not following, but if you are duplicating the lesson/course, you would not need to copy/paste - the content would already be there. If there are 'extras' that were duplicated that you did not need, you could delete those.
I think Jan is asking the same thing that I need to know, how to move blocks from one lesson to another. I started a course and I want to add a block from one of my other courses, so how do I move it from one course to the other?
Thanks for clarifying your question. At this time, this is not a feature. I can see where the instructions shared above would be difficult for courses already started or to merge features from multiple projects as well.
This would be a great feature request and I have submitted this on your behalf.
Hopefully this request sees some traction soon as it would benefit my team's workflow as well. We manage the production of some expansive course materials w/ many collaborators. The recent copy content to another user feature was great to consolidate material into one account; however-- we still have to manually recreate the same piece to do our own version of a merge for true consolidation into one Rise file/course.
Makes my day to read this. Thanks, Adam! When I relay this info, I know the immediate follow-up question I'll be met with..."Is there any timeline on when they're trying to get the feature into production?"
I think I found a way around this issue for now. At your table of contents section you can duplicate an entire lesson or module. Then you can drag that entire lesson to a new section and delete the information in the lesson or module you do not need. For example, in my lesson, I wanted to move some of the blocks to a Glossary. So I duplicated the lesson, then dragged it to the glossary module. Now I can just delete the information I don't need instead of rebuilding all the interaction. Click on the attachment for a visual.

Glad you are having fun with Rise, Janet.

Is this being addressed as well?

Any update on when the ability to duplicate lessons or move blocks between lessons will be available? Last update was 5 months ago. Thanks.
Hi Jan. Thanks for asking.
You can duplicate your lessons in Rise right now! Have a Peek at how that’s done.
So if you have blocks that you’d like to reuse, duplicate the entire lesson and delete any extra blocks.
I’m really sorry that I didn’t update this discussion. New features are released all the time, and you get them automatically.
You can stay up to date on the latest additions to Rise right here. Enjoy!

Yup, we're working on a great solution for this Cassius. Hang tight.

Thanks again!
This year. :-)
Just chiming in to say this feature would be very helpful to my working group as well.
Hello - any update on this feature? moving blocks from one lesson to another.
Hi Ch'an! Thanks for checking in. This feature is still in development, but I don't have a more specific timeframe yet.

This is definitely an extremely needed feature. Here's hoping you get this out soon. I have subscribed to this thread to get updates on this. Thanks!
Subscribing to this thread, hoping that the ability to copy lessons from one course to another within Rise will be available soon.

Hi everyone! We just released a Rise update full of new features and some important fixes, too.
The feature you requested, copying lessons to another course, is live! Check out this tutorial - it’s super easy.
Feel free to let us know what you think!
Perfect!
