I'd like to create links inside a lesson to another next lesson.
The idea is to use an image with markers (Labeled graphics) and insert a link, in each marker, to another lesson and then add a return to the image again to get to the next marker.
I saw an earlier forum discussion where folks where talking about linking lessons to another lesson to create a type of branching scenario. Perhaps you'd want to look at the ideas shared here to see if any of those will assist you?
A labelled graphic and a process would be separate lessons, although a Block would allow you to add multiple elements in that lesson section such as Flash cards, Tabs, and a Knowledge Check using the Black (+) button that'll appear when you hover below each Block section as you view them while editing.
Linking text block content to any lesson/section in a Rise course would be extremely beneficial, similar to how it's done in Storyline where you highlight-right click-Hyperlink the desired text and insert a jump to slide trigger. AWESOMENESS!
I have a resource in development that contains a ton of reference links, links that jump to other chapters, etc so the design nature is to jump back and forth w/o losing sight of current section and progress.
A more generalized way to think of this is as a request to make hyperlinking from text in Rise as flexible and fully-functional as hyperlinking from a Rise button definition (which BTW is great).
In HTML parlance, I believe that would be referred to as supporting bookmark link definitions.
Hi, how do you ensure the items are selected within Label Graphic plus other areas i.e. process, timeline, quiz etc....or can the dividers only be used in BLOCKS.....thanks
A Continue button can only be added to a Blocks lesson - but if you used Restricted navigation, that would require a user to click on all the items in a Labelled graphic.
For a quiz, you could look at using the option to Require Passing Score to Continue. You can see more on this here. This setting only impacts Quizzes in Rise (not knowledge checks).
I have an Inside Rise link issue that is slightly different from the ones above, hoping you or someone else can help.
I am trying to add a link to text under an image. I want that text to work as a link to another lesson in the same course but the link does not stay consistent. It works the day I put it in but the next day it does not work. See screenshot below:
The way I get the url to insert in the above screenshot, is by previewing the target lesson and using the url that is in the browser for the target lesson at the time.
How can I get a link to the target lesson that stays consistent in preview and when I export? Please let me know.
You can use a Button block to link to specific lessons, but grabbing the URL is not something that will remain consistent (especially in Preview, as those links are specific to you as an author of the course) for you or your learners. I know a few other users were looking for a similar feature to insert a link to a lesson - so we'll keep you posted here in ELH if that makes our feature list!
As Salimah and Pieter, I also need to add links to specific lessons in Rise, but I'd like to use an image gallery instead of a button stack, any workaround? Thanks ;)
Ideally, we'd like the option to embed targets into a Rise lesson and add links to those targets from anywhere within the course-- text, buttons, and images-- and be able to jump back the the position from which the link was initiated.
I have requested just simple hyperlinking from text in Rise as flexible and fully-functional as hyperlinking from a Rise button definition - I’m shocked this standard feature is not available.
Question, why is the URL *not* consistent? Is it safe to hyperlink using the section URLs from the shared link?
Essentially, we have a User Guide created in Rise and we are hyperlinking from text within our platform to different sections of the User Guide. I'm just doing some basic testing, and need to be sure that the links will remain constant. I'm assuming they will if we take the URLs from the Articulate share link that would be ok?
Hi All, please add me to the list of users that would like the ability to drop anchors throughout the lessons and reference them using images and hyperlinks. Your buttons already do this, but we would like more versatile options!
Dear Allison, I upvote for this feature too: making hyperlinks for inner lessons not only via buttons. Buttons are often a bit too bulky and hyperlinks are neat and minimalistic, more immediate look and feel. Will submit too as a feature request.
Rise appears restrictive. It does not seem possible to highlight text within a lesson and then create a link to another part of the course. For example - a reference within the text cannot be linked to the list of references in the last chapter so it is not possible to enable the reader to see what the reference is with a single click.
It should be possible to cross link across all components of a course to enable cross referencing within chapter, between chapters.
This is a facility enabled within Word and PDF documents, so why not articulate/rise ?
Thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry you're finding this frustrating. We do have a feature request logged for this and we'll let you know via this thread if there are any updates.
In the meantime, you can use button stacks to achieve this functionality.
Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. :)

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks Ashley, I've found what I was looking for !
Happy to hear it Nicolas - if it's something that the greater community may also benefit from I hope you're able to share an example here with us!
Hi,
Is it possible to have different presentations in one single lesson, for example a labelled graphic, a process and block?
Thank you.

Hi Ashley, any news on whether this feature request has already made the roadmap? I have submitted the same request.
Hi Pieter,
Thanks for checking in on this feature! I don't have an update yet, but as soon as we have information to share we'll let folks know.
Hello,

Hey Jacqueline,
Adding hyperlinks to images is a feature request that we are tracking.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.
I'm adding this conversation to the report so that we can update you here when we can.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your feedback! Our team has a feature request logged for this capability and I will make sure your voice gets added to the discussion.

Thanks for sharing that feedback Irina, and for submitting a feature request.
Have a great day ! :)

Significant loss of functionality.
Would be good to sort this.
Thanks
