Nice Reagan! On my set up (Mac Keyboard) it was FN+ALT+ 8 key to get the bullet - but it does appear as you showed, although it won't align or tab over the text. So an "official" bullet is something that would make a great feature request!
Thought I'd join this conversation since it relates to tabs. On one of my tabs I've got a couple of rows of text and then an image underneath the text. The image is placed to the left, is there a way to centre the image?
Thanks for popping in here with your Rise questions! Currently there isn't an "alignment" setting for the text or images in the Blocks such as the Tabbed interaction. I can definitely understand why this would be handy. I’ll share your suggestion with our development team!
Thanks for your peek demo Ashley. It shows that the images are 'almost' centred. I am currently showing a client their course being built. I am using a png graphic file created from a ppt slide as a placeholder for the image in interactive tabs, and it is very obviously sitting to the left.
What advice should I give my designer re sizing/filetype etc so that when they re-create a fresh image of the ppt, it will 'almost file the screen' like your demo, and not so much to the LHS?
We've got the tips here for best practices associated with media in Rise (including images). There isn't one specific size to use, as you'll see within the different modes in that article (landscape vs. portrait) the image can be resized to match the dimensions of the device and size screen you're viewing it on - that's the fully responsive nature of Rise at work!
For a frame of reference about my photo - here's the general photo info:
There are two issues mentioned here, the resizing and/or centering of images and the ability to insert bullets.
Rise has a new text editor, and you can insert a bulleted list using that for standard text blocks, and there was an alignment issue that was also fixed recently. Take a look at the Rise release notes for more information and an updated listing of fixes and features.
The alignment of images in a Tab interaction is still aligned left.
Hope that helps and let me know if you need anything else!
The tab width is set by default, and the number of tabs that appear in the window will depend on the screen size of your device (desktop, tablet, or mobile).
I can see how it would be helpful to reduce the width, especially for short tab titles. It's a neat idea, and it would make a great feature request!
Since you're looking for a custom look-and-feel, have you considered building the Tabs Interaction in Storyline, then embedding it in Rise using a Storyline block?
That way, you'll have the freedom to choose any color or add images to the tab area. Give it a try, and let me know if you need any help along the way!
I figured out how to get the pictures to center align guys! Add the picture like you usually would but under settings deselect the zoom option. Then on the screen you can click on the picture and drag it into your text. Then you can use the alignment options in the text field.
Hi Christy, Would you mind elaborating on this fix? I have deselected the zoom option under settings. But then I'm lost. How am I able to drag the picture to the text? I have tried to do this both in edit and in preview and it won't allow it. Thanks a bunch!
We had an issue in our text editor that allowed for copy/pasting of images into a block of text, and that is fixed in the latest Rise updates. I suspect Christy's method was taking advantage of that loophole.
It sounds like you'd like to see a feature allowing for more alignment choices of text and images? I'm happy to pass your thoughts on to our product team, but you can also feel free to detail them more through a feature request!
Please afdd functionality allowing for more alignment choices of text and images? I can't seem to center images to align with text in content blocks - tabs
While you can change the alignment of text in a Tabs block, there isn't a way to change the alignment of an image. I can see how that would be a handy feature, so I'll let our Rise product team know what you'd like to see. 😁

You can fake bullet points by holding ALT and tapping 7 on your number pad. Alt-7= •

Caron, for adding graphics in the Interactive tabs block, you can do that from the "Edit" section and I recorded a quick video in Peek of how to do that.

In the "Interactive, Tab" Is there a way to add a fourth tab?
There certainly is, John! This video will walk you through the steps. I hope that helps!
Thank you Alyssa
Can you reduce the width of the tabs to show more tabs in the view port?

Hi there,
Is there a way to change the tab color or to insert an image into the actual tab. The tabs look very vanilla in my project.
Hi there Greg,

Piping in to also vote for center alignment on the pictures in the interactive tabs. Tks!
Agree with the center alignment, please.

Hello,
Is there a way to insert a video in a Tabs interactive template? Thanks!
Yes - click edit to replace the image that displays and you can upload 'media'
