I see that the lesson icons, such as the Aligned Left icon cannot be edited or hidden or replaced with branded icons for lessons.
Is this something that will be catered for?
The icons do not actually add any value to the courses and users tend to get a bit confused as to the significance of them. Being able to either hide them or customize them would be useful.
Hi Darren! Thanks for the suggestion and explanation of how that impacts your users. Just to confirm my understanding, it sounds like you are looking for a way to customize these icons:
We'll track that feature request and let you know if it is a functionality that we plan to include in an update!
Has there been an update on this please? I think if we knew what the icons meant i.e. if you could define it for us then that might be more helpful. I agree with Darren - it would help if we can customise these or even add our branded icons.
Thanks for adding your voice, Angel! Although I don't have an update available at this time, I've included your comment in the report. You're definitely in the right place for when/if we do have any updates to share ☺️
Our product team is always keen to hear about customer needs, so please feel free to share any other ideas you have here as well!
I would also really love to see more flexibility with icon options for lessons! If we could upload our own that would help with maximum customization, too.
Some ideas for default icon choices we could have might be things like: a star, colored circles, lightbulb, pencil, various other shapes, etc.
Thanks for sharing those ideas for more lesson icons, Michelle! For other folks following along, you can choose a different lesson icon on your course outline page. Here's how!
Hi Crystal, if I'm correct so far there's only 4 icons to pick from - it would be fantastic if we were allowed to upload our own SVG/PNG/ICO files to the Theme.
Use case is: we want to use Rise as a wrapper/training plan for onsite delivery, where learners are guided through the agenda - having more icons available would make sure that each activity (ie an individual one vs a group activity) is easily identifiable by our learners
I agree with Alessandro, custom icons or at the very least MORE choices would be very helpful. In particular at least having a different icon for each type of multimedia (an audio one would be great), and each type of block. Just so we can differentiate a bit more on the menu.
Have these custom icons been dealt with please? Is there a way to choose a different one like what was mentioned above when an individual or group activity is required?
Like many other folks, we are using Rise as a gateway to other courses and resources and it would be very helpful to be able to use our own icons. For example, we could flag required items. We could use our product icons to identify product related content. We could flag by expertise level. I really wish you would add this feature.
It would very beneficial to the learner to allow even a small circle bullet to select from as an option. Or at the very least, nothing.
The three lined icon creates visual cognitive overload in the design of the menu as it feels out of place, AND, when a user hovers over that icon in the published version, the hover box pops up and indicates "align left." That's super confusing for the learner. We are telling them to "align left" for what reason?
The pointed finger also adds chunkiness and the other two icons aren't relevant to everything. It would be wonderful to have more options here. Rise is wonderful in that it is a simple, clean platform, and these icons contradict that.
Another vote to give more options to the very limited 4 icons. This should be really easy to add to. Not sure what the hold up is. Even better allow us to add our own branded icons next to the lessons!
I'd like to add a vote to give more options than the limited 4 icons. I feel this would be a very simple enhancement for your development team to add. I would also love to have the option to add our branded icons, but at the very least having more than 4 to select from would be amazing.
I didn't realize that about the text when hovering! I agree, the 'touch' icon feels chunky and out of place compared to the other 3 icons. I feel like a mouse/click type icon would better give the impression of interactivity, but maybe that's just me.

Hi,
Apologies for not getting back, but I am having issues with posting in the forum.
Yes, those icons are the ones I am referring to. People are getting confused and think they refer to something they need to know.
Sorry about your posts being flagged - but we got you fixed up now! 🙂

Thanks for letting us know what your needs are, Alessandro! We always appreciate hearing how we can make Rise 360 even better for your team.

Thank you
Hi Kim! Here's a quick demo of how to change the lesson icon in Rise 360. Let me know if that's what you had in mind!
Thanks Alyssa. No I meant different icons other than the four shown. A different icon for an individual and/or group activity for example.
Thanks for clarifying, Kim. We're tracking requests for more icons, or adding custom icons. I'll update you here if we make it happen!

Hello! Is anything being done about the icons? I noticed a few people asked what they mean but I haven't seen a response. I'd like to know too.
Also, it would be really useful if there were more options. Like "i" for information, a pair of glasses for reading, a pencil for writing, etc.
Hi there, Paul. Here are the icon choices currently:
You and your learners can ultimately interpret what the icons mean in the context of your courses, but here are some ideas on how to use them:
We haven't made any changes to the icon selection at this time, but we have this discussion tagged to be updated if we make a change!
Any progress on this?
it would be extremely helpful to be able to add custom icons to the menu.
Hi Leanna!
No updates to this yet, but thanks for following up! If we add more icons or add the ability to allow custom icons, I'll let you know about it!

+1 ! Would be great to be able to add our own branded icons next to the lessons!
Being able to have a different icon and one they can check when done would be great.
