Text in Rise
Nov 16, 2016
Congratulations on the new product. I am really enjoying the speed with which I can create resources with Rise. I was wondering if it were possible to:
- alter the text colour of hyperlinks. It currently defaults to theme colour.
- centre text, particularly on captions. It looks strange having captions left justified when below images in a column grid of 2 or more
- include underline along with bold and italic
- adjust line spacing in 'text' as bullets points space a bit too far (list option not ideal for what I was doing).

Hi Marcel - glad you're enjoying Rise. Thanks for the praise!
Thanks for the feedback. Currently those items are not available but we will consider them. Underlines though are not a great idea for web content because users think they are hyperlinks.
Thank you Adam. I am also noticing that hyperlinks are continuing off the screen on a Samsung Galaxy S7 phone, Android 6.0.1 with the default and Chrome browsers. This happens in both orientations.
Marcel - would you kindly take some screenshots showing this? We would love to see the context as we've not seen this.
Here you go...
Oh, I see. URLs don't wrap. Ok, I'm sure we can fix that.
Regardless, a better practice on the web is generally not to expose the full link and instead have a term link to the URL instead. Like this:
Search on Google
In Rise, you can highlight text and then paste in the URL.
Hi Marcel,
The URL & text wrapping issues have been resolved. If you have published your course to the web or an LMS you will need to republish to see the fixed version. Please let us know if you still experience problems.
using this thread as it's close to what I'm inquiring about :) I too LOVE Rise...And look forward to the improvements that will make it great! The issue I'm having tight now is I'm unable to bold text, even though when I highlight the word to be bolded, the text format bubble comes up with what seems to be a bold option. Any work around? or fix?
Thanks!
Hi Liz,
That bolding should work if you see the little pop up. Can you check what browser you're using? You'll want to make sure you're using one of the browsers here for authoring Rise content.
If you're still having difficulty and are using one of those browsers, are you seeing this for any and all text you try to bold, or within a particular interaction, text set up? Any other information you could share about what you're seeing will help us look at replicating it and tracking down the issue!
Thanks Ashley! Shortly after my message, I realized I should try Chrome or Firefox and it is working now...I'll be doing testing once done, but do you happen to know if any formatting is lost (such as the bolding) if user is viewing course in Explorer 11?
Thanks,
Hey Liz,
Folks can view a Rise course in IE11, but you just can't author in IE11. So all the formatting, interaction, etc. should work for users while they view it. The link here has all the supported browsers listed for authoring and viewing.
Also, just an FYI that responding via email includes your signature here, so you're welcome to edit the post to remove that information if you'd like!
Also a BIG FAN of Rise but as we are creating courses in this tool, it would be awesome to:
Seems like this forum has a lot of that capability already :-)
Great product and I'm looking forward to the updates!
Thanks Lynn for sharing those additional ideas for text formatting needs. Color would be fun - even in ELH, as we don't have that one yet! I'll be sure to share the ideas here with our Product team and you can always share your thoughts on feature requests as well by submitting them here.
It appears that hyperlinks can't be added everywhere. For example, I was going to set up some flashcards with a "click here"link on the back for more information. The only options are to bold or italic. Or am I missing something?
Thanks!
Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for reaching out here! The ability to add a hyperlink as a part of the text within Rise is limited to a few areas but I can definitely pass along the idea to our team! Feature requests from customers like you contribute to our product roadmap and you can always share them here in ELH or send them along to us here.
In the meantime, you may want to look at using the button stack. That button has an option to link to a webpage or another part of your Rise course.
Hope that helps!
Thanks, Ashley. I appreciate the follow up!
I think we need more webinars that go over the training in Rise.
I just went in to publish 13 courses in Rise and all of my hyperlinks that used to match the color theme are purple. I'm assuming it has something to do with the new release. Is there a way to fix this and get them back to the original color?
If this isn't the right place for this questions please let me know.
Rachel - thanks for bringing this to our attention. This issue was indeed introduced with the new release yesterday. We've got a team working on it now and will post here when fixed.

Rachel, we've fixed this issue and the hyperlinks should now match your theme color. Sorry for the trouble, please let us know if you're not seeing the update. You may need to refresh any open browser tabs to get the fix.
Thanks so much! It's working now.
Also, make sure that we can adjust the line spacing.
