I've seen this discussed before, but I have not found a clear answer. I need a link to open in the same tab as the rise course. Essentially, this will exit the course and go to a page of my choosing. The Exit Course option does not work within the LMS I'm using (Moodle). However, if I can get a link to open in the same tab, this will give me the control I need. It appears all links default to opening in new browser tabs. Is there a way around this behavior?
Hi Aidan, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this issue. I've added your vote for this feature, and we'll let you know here if we have updates.
I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulties in adding your Storyline course into Rise. You can follow the steps in this article. Let me know here if you're still having trouble, and I'd be more than happy to help!
I'd love to see the Open in the same window functionality some day. It's for usability and accessibility purposes. Open in a new window becomes a major issue for several people who have attended the training I created. I look forward to seeing that happen. I appreciate your support.
Hi Supada! Thanks for the feedback and for sharing why you need this feature. If we have any updates for you regarding this feature, we'll let you know!
Hi Team, we would also love to be able to customise link and button behaviour in Rise. Our specific requirement comes from creating an EXIT button for courses published to web, as we want this to re-direct in the current window to a course selection page hosted on our internal servers, as opposed to an LMS.
Previous solutions referenced modifying the main.bundle.js file. However, the naming conventions of the published Rise files have now changed. To locate the correct file, it is recommended to first download the published content to your computer since using your LMS to conduct a deep search of the file content may not work as well.
Once you have extracted the content, navigate to scormcontent>lib>rise. Then, in the search bar, type the following string: isIphoneSafari?"_top
This will help bring up the correct file where this code string is located and where the change needs to occur. Once you open the file in a text editor, use Ctrl-F to search again for isIphoneSafari?"_top
From there, you'll find something similar to isIphoneSafari?"_top":"_self",Q=E?j:"_blank"
The letter combination between "_self" and "_blank" may vary depending on the most recent Rise update to the js files. Simply change "_blank" to "_top" then save the file. That's it!
We would also like a link to open in the same tab as the rise course. From what I can see from the thread am I correct in thinking this is not currently possible?

+1 for this request.
Hello everyone, is there a way to refer another session with hyperlink?? I mean not opening in a new tab? A link from the course itself
Hi Jader! Sorry, no there isn't a way to refer to another session via a hyperlink. The course does not connect to another course session.

3 years of people asking and always the same response. "It's in our tracker of features". must be a very long one
We also really need this feature.

It would be really helpful to have this feature here, as well. Additionally, it would be great if the "Exit to LMS" page had an auto-close option.
We need this as well. Is there an update on this feature? It seems this has been requested for quite a while.
Yes the feature is needed for my team as well.
Very important that RISE 360 allows this feature soon.
I see this is quite old - is there any plan to update this feature? I have not seen it on the Features roadmap.

Hello,
We would also like a link to open in the same tab as the rise course. From what I can see from the thread am I correct in thinking this is not currently possible?
Thanks,

Have a great day!
Add me to the list please. Open in same tab would help us with a need for a project with high confidentiality and privacy needs.
Hi Concetta!
Thanks for the feedback!
