I have added a button block and selected 'Exit the course' from the destination drop-down. When I export the course and import it into Moodle, clicking the button displays 'Thank you for exiting the content. You may now navigate away from this content.' in the SCORM player. If the course was configured to display in a new window that window does not close. If it is configured to display inline then this message is displayed and the user stays on the SCORM activity page.
Hi Michelle. I did a test in my Moodle instance and saw the same thing with my course. Moodle is calling up the closing page that is included in your Rise course (goodbye.html). Some LMSs will use that page to be able to process the results being sent to the LMS. When I tested in SCORM Cloud, it did NOT invoke the closing page. So you'll see it varies between LMSs.
Have a look at this article about the goodbye.html page for more information. The article is for Storyline, but if you were to extract your Rise .zip file and have a look in the scormdriver folder, you'd find the goodbye.html.
Thanks, Crystal. Does this mean that there is no mechanism to customize the contents of the goodbye.html file from within Rise implying that to do so we would have to manually change that file everytime we wanted to export a course?
Right, Michelle. That file is baked into the export in case the LMS decides to use it. We support exported output as is, but that article should give you the basics if you need to customize the messaging!
I am actually not really interested in changing the messaging but rather including some javascript that will close the pop-up window the SCORM content is playing in to prevent the user from ever seeing it. Ideally, I would be able to accomplish this in Rise so I wouldn't have to have my instructional designers modify every SCORM package before uploading it to the LMS.
I am using LearnDash LMS to launch my Tin Can files that I exported out of Rise. To get Tin Can files to work w/ LearnDash, I am using the Grassblade LRS plugin with the xAPI Companion plugin. On my site, my Tin Can files work best when launching to play in a new window, so this exit button is key. However, when I exit to the parent page the progress in LearnDash doesn't update until I refresh the parent page. I am using Storyline 360 in many of my other courses and accomplish this with the following javascript
window.opener.location.reload(); window.close();
How can I refresh the parent page when using the exit button on Rise? Or... is there another way altogether to accomplish this? Thanks!
I have set the custom button to Exit the course (LMS only) and its not working for some reason. I have tested the course in Scorm Cloud and same issue. Any ideas?
I have been using the exit course button for several courses and it works great. For some reason it is not working for this course and I can't figure out why.
I uploaded your course to SCORM Cloud, and you can view it here. The exit course button functioned for me, in that at I was able to launch the course and use that button to have the course close out. Can you give it a test and if you're seeing something that isn't working as you'd expect let me know a bit more information about what's happening, the browser you're using, etc.?
Bailey, we'd love to take a look at your course link - if you want to share it here in the community feel free or send it along to our Support Engineers here.
Is there a way to enable the back and next 'browser' buttons in LMS for a SCORM file created with Rise?
We have a course that cross links to various sections within a course for resources, we have instructions in there for them to click the back button to get back to the lesson they were at, but in LMS the browser back and next is not visible. Any suggestions? Please help. Thank you.
can you only add the exit course button if you have a quiz? when i select LMS as my export type, i dont have the option for how to track or the option to turn on the exit course button.
I am exporting to LMS and I do not see the option to track or add an exit button. I have seen these options before with Rise courses... but all of those courses had quizzes. This one doesn't. That's why I'm wondering if that is the exception to the rule.

I think there might have been some gremlins in it yesterday. Works fine today.
Gremlins...they'll always get you. 😉
I've been searching threads and cannot seem to find an answer to my dilemma?
I don't have "buttons" within my block library and i don't see a way to update RISE? Can anyone help?
Hey Eric!
Do you see a Button or Button Stack block in the "Interactive" category? Here's a quick demo of how to find that block type.
Let me know if that helps!
excellent ! thanks for the addition of the buttons and the video! perfect
So glad this was able to help you out as well Cheryl :)

Great question, Maggie!
You do not need a quiz to enable the Exit Course button. As long as you are exporting for LMS, you should be able to add that button to your course.
Check out Adam's video here to learn more about this feature!
Hi Alyssa,
I am exporting to LMS and I do not see the option to track or add an exit button. I have seen these options before with Rise courses... but all of those courses had quizzes. This one doesn't. That's why I'm wondering if that is the exception to the rule.
See attached image.
Hmm, odd that you still aren't seeing it, Maggie. I recorded a quick, 30-second video for you to show you what I'm seeing on my end.
Please watch this video, and let me know if you're still having trouble!
Hi Alyssa,
I am using Google Chrome and don't see the option. See video I included.

Wow, how strange! Thanks so much for the video.
Can you tell me the exact version of Chrome you're using? Click this link to find out.
