Hi Mikki! If your button takes you to another web page, it will likely open in another browser tab. You can either close the new tab or click back onto your Rise tab.
If the button takes you to another lesson (and maybe it's deep into another part of the course), you can use your browser back button to return to the button stack page.
I have the same question when the button takes you to another lesson. I find that the browser back button returns the user to the top of the lesson page, requiring the user to scroll back down to the bottom to continue. If the lesson is long, it may not be obvious that they got back to where they just were. Would be better if there was some way to return the user back to the buttons.... Is there another solution?
If you add another button (call it B) in the lesson where you have landed after clicking the relevant button (call it A) in the button stack and then reference the button B to the original lesson that contains the button stack. That will resolve your issue.
I think that’s a great solution, but only if the second referenced lesson was linked only to that one original. I was intending on having several lessons reference that same second one, so one button B wouldn’t work.... I guesss I could look at adding multiple “go back” buttons that specify where to go back to, but that sounds messy.....
Thanks for that extra detail. Did you want the buttons to link to other lessons in the Rise course, or did you want them to link to an outside web resource?
What a cool demo! I inspected the source on this lesson in Chrome by going to View > Developer Tools> Inspect Elements. The source shows us it is a button block, but it appears that the author edited the published output to center the button.
If you know who created this demo, reach out to the author to find out their secret!
Is anyone able to provide any further guidance on how to centre a button - possibly instructions on how to edit the Elements? - would be much appreciated.
Hello all, My e-learning course consists of a basic course and various in-depth chapters that you can jump into from the basic course. I have linked these via the "Button" function. To return to the basic course, I have inserted a button again that links to the original chapter in the basic course. However, you then land at the beginning of the chapter and not at the point where you jumped off. Is there a way to link to the exact place where you jumped off? Thanks for your tips!
Hi Hannah! Linking to specific blocks in your lessons isn't possible in Rise right now. We're tracking requests for this feature, so I'll add you to the list. I'll update you here if we make changes that will help!
How about being able to arrange buttons in a row or grid instead of just a stack? I realize this currently requires code manipulation, just as centering does, but it seems like this should be a standard "switch-to," just like switching between accordion and tabs. Actually, both of these seem like they should be standard issue.
If I could add multiple buttons to tabs, or to an accordion, that would help. I'm building a course catalog and want to reduce vertical scrolling. It would be nice to have a tab for a category of courses (ERP, CPLM, Finance, etc.), and button links to sub-pages containing course links on a given tab.

Let me know if you have a different scenario!

Cool idea, Angel - thanks for sharing here!
Marc, let us know if that works for you!

Is there a way for the second lesson to open in a separate browser tab?
Hi Marc,
If you're using a Button Block to link to another lesson, the learner will navigate to that lesson in the same browser tab.
If you're using the button to link to another webpage, the webpage will open in a new tab.
Is there a way to add button stack without any text as an explanation? I want to center the button stack in the middle of the page.
Hi Elizabeth,
While you can remove the text to the left of the buttons, there isn't a way to align the buttons to the center of the page.
Can you tell me more about what you're trying to achieve? There could be another way to go about it!

By the way, you can edit out your contact information from your post if you'd like! Replying via email will include your signature.
Hi Alyssa,
I saw in one of the eLearning challenges that there was a Rise project that appears to have used centered single button stacks:
Do you know how to implement this?
Cheers,
Mish

Hi, Louise! There isn't a built-in option to center buttons in Rise. I'll defer to other members of the community for their suggestions!

Hi Hannah! Linking to specific blocks in your lessons isn't possible in Rise right now. We're tracking requests for this feature, so I'll add you to the list. I'll update you here if we make changes that will help!
Please add my request to the list to add the feature of being able to link to a specific block in your lesson.
