I've seen several discussions on the forum related to increasing font sizes. My particular issue is related to the font size when using the "Details" feature to show particular modules that students can navigate to.
I understand that the font must be able to scale to the device a student is using, but on a laptop with a large screen the font looks extremely small. Have there been any updates to allow for font size changes in this area? (Screenshot attached)
Thank you for the reply Crystal, but I don't think we're quite on the same page. The screenshot I included was from the "Course Preview" screen, and no such formatting menu appears to be available.
I tried the same approach in the "Edit" window and still did not see a formatting window. Can you provide additional detail please?
For clarification, what I'm referencing is the text that is BELOW what you highlighted in your example ("These are my course details") I'm interested in resizing the text that says "block", "lesson", and "quiz" in your sample.
Ah, thanks Katie! It sounds like you're wanting to increase the font size of the Rise course menu. The menu font size is fixed currently, but I'll let our team know there's a need for more formatting options there. Thanks for the idea!
Thanks for clarifying! The lesson titles themselves are at a pre-determined font size. Are you finding that they're too small/large for your learners and their devices? It would be good to know a bit more about your needs and I can share that with my team!
While I'm here checking out Laura's question, I guess I'll ask and see if there's been any movement on adding some formatting options to the Rise course menu? Thanks!
The font size is too small for the Table of Contents. Looking to see if the formatting option can be added... I added a feature request a while back--maybe others can chime in if this is a popular request....
Thanks for adding to the thread Karl. One of my colleagues (Katie Oxman) started this thread last year. Katie's no longer with my firm but the need remains for this change.
Hi Allison— seems like most every other text field font and size may be altered except the table of contents. Also seems like a fairly trivial omission to correct. Any chance of this happening soon? I’ve been resorting to creating an html table of contents with links to individual rise files. Not ideal. But the fixed font size in the rise table of contents is simply too small....
TOC font size/options, allowing a learner to expand and contract TOC sections (start collapsed), and being able to have a learner bypass the TOC all together (course setting) would be welcome updates to see in the future.
I don’t currently have any updates, but you are now subscribed to this conversation which means as we share updates here, you’ll automatically be notified.
I am new to Rise and just noticed that four of my courses have no Details button and one does. I am not sure how/why it showed up, but I'd like to get rid of it. How do I make that happen?
For future reference, how to enter information to appear when a learned clicks the Details button?
Since this thread is still alive, and was intended to address the font size issue of the course menu....has there been any movement on getting that done?
I don’t currently have any updates, but you are now subscribed to this conversation which means as we share updates here, you’ll automatically be notified.
Soon it will be ONE YEAR since my colleague made the initial request. As we (and others) have pointed out....since font size changes are available on virtually every other text field in Rise this should be a pretty light lift. Can we do better than just canned responses?
I totally get that it can be frustrating to wait for a feature to come out, but please know that we're doing our very best to bring our users the features they want and need as quickly as possible.
I was just told that I need to come in and log this as a request. Obviously, I am not the first - but I guess (and I am being told in a separate email that) the more people mention it - the higher the priority will become. So here goes. Please consider as an upgrade to the current system giving us the ability to increase the font size for the TOC. Thanks ~

Hi there, Katie! You can change the font size of the course details by highlighting the text, and clicking on the formatting menu that appears:
I hope that helps!

Thank you for your help. The major issue that should be fixed is that the font appears too small on large laptop and desktop monitors.

Agree that the font size is much too small. Having the ability to choose the font size would be great.

The font size of table of contents is especially important...

Agree that the font is too small on a large screen so would welcome this change.
Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Tim,
There's not currently a way to get rid of the details button. I'm not sure why one of your courses doesn't have it, but that's not normal.
The details button simply brings the course description and outline up to the top of the screen so the learner can focus on that.
I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi David,
We receive hundreds of feature requests every week, so prioritizing them is no small task and we take it very seriously. Here's an inside look at how that process works.
