Could you share the instructions /path you used in creating the infographic "5 FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SICKLE CELL DISEASE"? I would love to be able to integrate a block like this within a current lesson. If not possible, I would want to add it separately. I would greatly appreciate your help. Cheers ~
Using Image > Image & Text Blocks, Tom cropped the images from the PDF and copied the text.
After uploading the image, he chose either left or right-aligned for the image
Then he added the respective text and formatted it for color and size
Lastly, he changed the background of each block to match the background of each cropped image. This can be done by hitting Edit in the top left of each block > Settings > Background Color > Custom and use the color picker to select the background of the cropped image
The Interactive section at the bottom uses Flashcards (Interactive > Flashcard Grid) in tandem with the techniques above.
Hi John, the sidebar options are for when the course initially launches. This can't be permanently set to open. That being said, if we make any changes to this you'll hear about it!
Has the option to set the sections collapsed at opening been added? For a long course, it would be great to have the side bar open in that default position, allowing the user to expand the lessons in under each section (or better yet, remember the state when the user ends the session....)
For those who are looking into hiding the sidebar navigation in 2023 - the setting for this has moved to the Theme section in Articulate Rise and NOT under settings. You can go to the lesson you are exporting to web and click on Theme in the top right menu, find Navigation and toggle the sidebar off there. THEN you can proceed to export to web.
Working with Rise today I'm finding that I now have only two options Side bar menu open at start or hidden completely.
The video describes three options. Things have obviously changed since the video was made available. I've been finding 'Navigation' under 'Theme' rather than 'Settings' when I have been working with it recently. But until today I could turn navigation off in the theme settings and the user could still use the hamburger icon to open the side menu.
I prefer to have no side bar open at start but allow the user to open the menu if they want to. I have also found that having the sidebar open at start can sometimes cause problems when using a screenreader - I have got caught in a loop.

Excellent example!

Hi Bill!
Tom used the original content from the CDC's Official PDF
Original Demo Content for reference

Hope this quick guide points you in the right direction to get started!
hi, just wondering if it's possible to display the sidebar permanently, for example, hide the 'hamburger' icon to prevent users hiding the sidebar?
thanks!

Hi Marc. No changes at this point, but we have this feature documented. We'll let you know if that changes.

That's right, Michelle! That setting can now be found under Themes > Navigation > Sidebar.
Thanks for sharing this. In addition, you can find more information in the article "Rise 360: Control Course Navigation."
