I am trying to find a way to branch out to different lessons from within the marker card on a labelled graphic.
I know I can use a button to link to lessons, but I'm pretty sure I can't insert a button into the marker card. I can insert a text hyperlink, but I believe this can't link to individual lessons, only URLs.
I would love to have the option to use hypertext links to lessons as well. A client keeps asking for it in the regular flow of text, and they can't understand why it isn't possible.
Is there any way to insert self-referential hyperlinks in Rise? In other words, a link that would return the learner back to a previous point in the tutorial? John Mayer, I think this is the same question/request you had. Thanks for any insights!
When you use a button block to navigate to a different lesson, Rise is not aware of your point of origin, so there is no easy way to get back to where you were before.
So sadly it is a one-way link. Wish Rise could do what you are asking about.
I submitted a request for Rise internal links over a year ago that has been gaining momentum, but clearly not yet enough to get to the top of the R & D "To Do" list. I strongly believe that this would be a really useful tool for a large number of people in the community and would dearly love to see it implemented.
Thanks so much, everyone, for your lending your insights. Karl that makes total sense now! Ned, that would be a useful tool. Maybe we'll see it in the future. For now, I added the Button since that seemed the only way to accomplish the task.
Thanks again for letting us know this feature is important to you. We're still tracking requests for hyperlinking to other lessons. If we have any updates for you all, we'll be sure to let you know!
Please add my vote to the request for internal hyperlinks to other Rise lessons. Button blocks are handy but interrupt text flow. Yes, please add it to your updates! Thank you.
Have hyperlinks been added yet? I need to add multiple navigation options and the buttons just don't cut it.
Ideally I would like to be able to add hyperlinks that navigate to specific Rise pages inside a storyline file at the beginning of a Rise course since that is the interactive component used as an intro to the tool I am creating. Rise is just so inflexible, it makes it hard to do the kinds of things that would make it so much more valuable in the long run.
The ability to add links throughout a file, not just buttons or vertical buttons (yeesh) would be incredible. If I could add a link to a specific section in Rise from within a storyline file, that would be gold for me, right now.
Looking forward to updates on this too. I tried Inspect element on the button option, just incorporating the link and emitting the CSS, however it doesn't work (I knew it wouldn't but tried anyway). Its interesting that this isn't a feature because its quite a basic element in general web design.
Basically, I'm using the interactive "process" block and want to hyperlink a line of text to another page within the elearning course.
My temporary solution is telling users to navigate to the side menu and look for the page...this is something that is ok for a short course but inefficient for a long courses with multiple chapters.
Add my name to the list that would like to add hyperlinks. This seems to have a lot of interest. I want to create a start up procedure with a list and hyperlink to how to do the step. This way the user will have just a simple step by step instruction but have the option to click the link for more detail.

Hello, Niall. Besides the sidebar menu, button blocks in Rise 360 are currently the only way to click to another lesson.
It sounds like having the option to hyperlink text to other lessons would be helpful, so I'm logging a feature request on your behalf!

Thanks for your feedback, John! I'll add your voice to the request.

I'm also keen to be able to Hyper link. I'd love to attach hyper links to documents. That would sit outside of Rise

Hi Team, any progress on this?
