I've seen lots of discussion here around linking directly to lessons. Many will know you can link directly to lessons by incorportating the unique lesson ID into the Rise guide URL path. For example:
[path_to_rise_guide]#/lessons/[unique_lesson_id] e.g. /content/index.html#/lessons/KoIf-yQg9hb0QA3E4gSdVH6XfBUZAEAx
My question to the Rise experts at Articulate is how reliable is this URL format going forward? Is this URL format for linking to lessons pretty much baked into your product now and won't change in future updates? Under what circumstances can the unique IDs to specific lessons change?
Thanks for that. I guess you are saying that you can't rule it out, but there are currently no plans to. I can live with that as long as there is always the ability to link directly to specific lesson. Are you able to at least commit to users always being able to link to specific lessons?
This is because I have proposed a roll out lots of Rise guides, but with all the Rise navigation turned off and instead linking directly to specific lessons. This gives us the flexibility to present the same content, but from two different systems/views, and at a more granualar level (the Lesson). Direct lesson linking (without Rise navigation) is essential to us. Thanks.
Correct, lessons will always have unique IDs that are a part of the URL path for web output. We don't see this changing any time soon. If you have trouble in the future with the links, you can reach out and check-in with us to see if any updates have been made.

Hi Stuart! We don't have any plans in the near future to change this URL format. If we do make any changes, we'll let the community know.
