There was a problem in Rise 360 that allowed images to be pasted into text fields. Sadly, these images put a heavy strain on the Rise 360 database and contributed to a service outage. To prevent similar outages, we fixed the bug in our text editor, which means images can no longer be pasted into Rise 360.
For now, you'll want to stick with using text only in text areas. We're looking at ways to make it easier to add images in a text block, and we'll keep you posted on new developments!
No, it’s a software instructional so I would need to continuously use icons or menu items from the software in a stepwise procedure - I’ll look at a workaround using either GIF images or the the image/text option...
So... any news? We are still missing this option. Could you at least allow the insertion of icons from the Content Library, just like photos and illustrations?
It's 10 months on and I'd be interested to know if there had been any development with this as it would really improve my current course if I could use small icons alongside text in tables and other text areas to provide continuity, interest and enhance connections between the content.
Hi Alison. There isn't an update on uploading image files into text fields in Rise 360. Can you take advantage of unicode icons? Here are some icons that I copied and pasted into a table from a unicode site I googled:
I just wanted to check-in and see if there was an update on this.
Like the users in this thread, I am also creating software training and need to be able to insert custom images from the software in line. I am using the workarounds listed above, but wanted to see if this was something Articulate is working on implementing.
Thanks for checking in, Lina! Glad to hear you're able to use the workarounds shared here. We don't have updates on this feature yet, but we'll let you know here if this becomes included in our Rise 360 roadmap!
Brilliant I just need to insert a tick ✔ in the text in Rise and was having issues, it didnt work when copy and pasting it from inserting a symbol but I went to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_mark and copied the ✔ (not the unicode) from there and its worked, looks so much better than just adding the the text (tick) thank you
Not having this option is a show-stopper for help documents with screenshots. Very unfortunate. We want to put our step-by-step documents in Rise, but there is no way to get a small .png in a table cell, in-line, or close underneath the step. Will this ever be added? I'm at a loss on how to convert our job aids. Thank you.
definitely we need a icon library that can be add before or after a text, to a table cell, or into any blocks. This is now a road block for us to include any smaller image/icon in align with text.
Any updates on the availability of this functionality?
Tom Kuhlman was asking for an example, however Clive included one in his original post. Think of the development of an exercise. You have steps to perform something, and a graphic of toolbar icon is very helpful.
Here is an example.
1. Select the following text: "this functionality is important and very useful". 2. Click Text Highlight Color .
This is a simple case where the highlighter is obvious, but in other cases it may not be, so the graphic is needed.
The delaying of new features implementation in Rise always having a fixed response. The simple updates like adding hyperlinks to image, Icon library that can show in all browser and devices, Audio block improvement to add transcript text as part of it as accordion type look etc; important as part of user requirements. So along with the accessibilities we needs these features in regular intervals.
I hit the same issue, but on the knowledge check side of things - multiple-choice question with a supporting graphic to clarify what was being asked, but with the graphic simplified to hide the answer portion of the graphic.
After the user entered their response, we wanted to show the "completed" graphic to visually explain the answer, because it was much simpler than explaining it using just text.
With the current setup, the best I can do is drop a "Continue" button after the question followed by an image to show the answer, but then it's not really well-tied to the knowledge check question, and feels tacked-on. Would much prefer to be able to show an image as part of the answer's explanation.
I am creating lab guides and here I need to have inline images / snippets as well as architecture images, etc. Is adding of images as inline still work in progress or not possible at this point? I have old labs which are in html format with images, and wanted to copy the same in Rise 30. Any inputs on this would be helpful.
If it is not possible to bring images back in text blocks, could you at least add more options regarding the size of images? I would need (much) smaller images.
Agree with all of the above. I'm creating training that requires us to point out particular software-specific icons, warnings, etc and not being able to use inline images or resize images is very detrimental to giving a good user workflow. I know the original request here is 2 years old, is there any update on this possible addition back into rise?

You could also try using emojis if the inline images are small ones like the check mark you showed.
No, it’s a software instructional so I would need to continuously use icons or menu items from the software in a stepwise procedure - I’ll look at a workaround using either GIF images or the the image/text option...
Do you have an example of what looks like or what you want to do? This may prompt so ideas.
That's a bummer, since inline images/icons are so useful. Especially when explaining complicated processes or how to use graphic interfaces.
Is there any way you can find a substitute for this? And what will happen to those courses that already have inline images?
I agree - especially where you are using a step-wise instructional which requires guidance iro which icons/menu items, etc to progressively select...
I have found that in my previous Rise courses, these in-line images just are replaced by an image no available icon...
So... any news? We are still missing this option. Could you at least allow the insertion of icons from the Content Library, just like photos and illustrations?
Thanks for checking in, Internacional de Marketing. We don't have an update yet, but we'll let you know as soon as we do!

Thanks for responding Crystal - I am not sure they will meet our needs but I will definitely have a look to see if any might be suitable.

Please add this functionality back into Rise.

Same for inline code addition.
I am also desperately waiting for this feature.
