Not using the export to PDF function, wondering if there is a way for a learner to print just a single topic? Ideally, I would love to have a print button at the bottom of my topic to permit the learner to print that page, such as a checklist. I see I can insert a code snippet. Theoretically, I can insert the HTML for a print button, but, that function only seems to display the actual code and not execute the code snippet.
What am I missing? Has anyone been able to create a print function somehow?
Good question, Justin. The code snippet block is for sharing actual code. So, think of it as a text-only field to share code, but the code will not be executed.
OK, thanks. Not what I was hoping for. Enhancement request, it would be cool to use the Code Snippet to actually place HTML code to customize outside of the standard blocks.
Have you tried using the browser print function? If learners are viewing the course in Chrome, they can use File > Print in the Chrome toolbar, the same way they would print any other webpage.
It doesn't work in Review 360, so that means I have to wait until it's finalised and uploaded to the LMS - to then maybe find out it doesn't work.
Not a great option - but what I suppose I will have to do is put instructions on the page to use the print function in their browser and *hope* they are using Chrome and *hope* it works.
I would also like add a request to have the ability to print a block added to Rise. Instead of telling learners what is important from a module my team wants learners to create their own "cheat sheets" at the end of short courses that they can print and retain for use with their clients. We are exploring checklists and quizzes, but it would be great to have an easy "print" option available.

Hi Justin!
Rise 360 doesn't have a "print lesson" feature for learners, but thanks for letting us know you need that option.
For now, learners can scroll to the checklist block, then use the browser print function to print that section of the lesson.
Hi Alyssa,
So, Rise does not have the functionality built it yet, heard.
What about the Code Snippet functionality. What is the purpose of this feature? Is it supposed to execute HTML that has been written into that block?

Let me know if that helps!

I need my learners to be able to print a single page.

I second Wendy's request! Printing off a lesson or part of a lesson would be very helpful!
Hi Diane,
We have created PDF's of the most important course content that we include in the course.
Students can download the PDF's and print them as needed.
Have you done this with fillable pdfs Karl?
Are you hosting the pdfs online via googledocs or elsewhere? Or embedding them in the course?
Are your students encountering any issues with this access? Thank you
Hi Diane,
We host our PDF's within our LMS or on an external webserver.
We do not use fillable PDF's.
We have not had any reports related to problems with the PDF's.
