Pastuing hyperlinks into Rise 360 doesn't paste as a link

Hi Aleksandra!

Thanks for sharing this! We're tracking requests for the ability to retain the hyperlinks in the text block after pasting. We'll update you if we make any changes to this that will help!

Hi, any update on having a fix for this? Really would be a massive time-saver!

Hi Dominic! We don't have any news to share yet. We'll make sure to update this thread once we make changes that will help!

Any update on this? It would save a lot of time and work.

Hi, I agree about this point. Losing all your links and having to re-enter manually is a potential serious stumbling block for a company using the app. It really increases the time for some content.

I was shocked when I found that RISE was unable to retain hyperlinks & they all had to be manually entered again. Why would you go to the effort of making it's behaviour so odd?

This is really problematic. When will a fix be added?

Many important and necessary features of Rise have not been added for several years, some even seven years, which has led to a large number of users switching to other software.

Thanks Jack, Well that's kind of discouraging..

Hi there, Peter. I can't make any promises, but we are evaluating some overall improvements to our text editing tool. This discussion is tagged for updates about link formatting, so we'll circle back here if we have helpful news to share!

Hi Crystal, thanks for the reply. Do you have any timeframe?

I'm sorry I don't, yet, Peter.

Thanks for checking.

has the issue regarding copy and pasting hyperlinks been resolved yet?

Hi Matthew,

No, the issue has not been resolved.

Hi Matthew!

Thanks for checking in on this!

I don't have any updates to share at this time as our development team has been prioritizing other features. I've included you in the feature report and will provide updates as soon as we have news to share!

If you'd like to stay up to date, you can bookmark our Feature Roadmap.

Want to add my voice to the chorus. This a MUST-HAVE. I am spending so much time on this alone.

+1.

Having to re-add 100s of hyperlinks is not rapid development - this feature is so important!

Rebecca I hope this video finds you in time, here's how to paste text with links intact- copying from either a webpage or Word. This will save you hours of tedious work.

Thank you, Phil, for putting that video together for us so quickly!

Unfortunately, I'm encountering an issue with hyperlinks from our SharePoint app, resulting in a 'SharePoint Refused to Connect' error. It seems to be a SharePoint-specific problem as linking individually works fine.

I tested your steps with hyperlinks from a regular website, and they worked perfectly. However, when copying and pasting from Word (after using the HTML Cleaner), the links don't open in new tabs as expected for external links.

Thanks again for your help! I'll continue to work with these pesky SharePoint links :/

Much appreciated!

Glad that mostly/kinda worked. It looks like you will need to pop open the 'edit link' tool and then re-close it, that will add the default 'new window' attribute that is normally added by default when adding links in Rise.

I'm not sure about the Sharepoint- you might want to test that as an exported/deployed course as they may behave differently when previewing in Rise.

Thank you!

I exported the course, and the bulk SharePoint links worked! I still have to open the 'edit link' tool and re-close, but that is so much easier than copy/pasting each hyperlink in.  Thanks so much, you've saved me hours of work and error risk. 

I'm also keen to check out your 'Images in Rise 360' course mentioned in your video once it's available 😊

Many, many thanks.
