I would love to know the logic why the prebuilt lessons are not available when creating a custom lesson from the block option? As it is now, I'm mostly never using any of the prebuilt lessons as my content fits in custom lessons. I would love to be able to add, for example, a timeline within a block, or, a labelled graphic.
I'm not seeing the logic why they are not available in custom lessons?
Would it be possible to make them available in a future update?
And not only do we need the ability to use the pre-built lessons as blocks, we need to be able to modify/enhance the pre-built lessons(e.g., add blocks, adjust padding, change colors, etc.). I have attached a mockup example showing the use of header/spacer design blocks inside a pre-built lesson. Currently, we cannot make pre-built lessons match our design standards...
Another issue is that the labeled graphic pre-built lesson has too much space at the bottom so users often do not see the next lesson information at the bottom. On the iPhone (which, unlike the iPad, has its Safari browser controls at the bottom), you must drag the labeled graphic up until the next lesson link is revealed and hold it with your finger, then quickly select the next lesson before the pre-built lesson scrolls back up. I consider that to be a huge bug!
The pre-built lessons as blocks were slated to be available in quarter 3 several months ago. Has something happened since then that caused the original ETA to disappear. This is a feature that I've been anxiously awaiting since I first made the request back in the spring.
I just went back and checked the thread that I posted about this issue, which was done in February. In May, Leslie McKerchie replied and said this feature should launch in Q3 of '17. Any idea of a more firm timeline?
I'm sorry for the delay and any confusion it caused you! Sharing ETAs is a bit new for us with Articulate 360 and some development timelines have shifted. We're still working on the lessons as blocks feature but I don't have an updated ETA to share yet.
Once we have more information, we'll be certain to share here - we know how important this is to your work!
I'm glad that this thread exists, because it's exactly what I came to write about today. I am "upvoting" the feature change that pre-built lessons be available as blocks. We'd use the timeline, sorting, process and labeled graphic a lot more if we could add them to a lesson as a block. I'm looking forward to hearing an update about this feature add/change.
I have actually just posted a discussion asking exactly this question. As the last response from Articulate to this thread was 7 months ago is it possible to have an update on when this change may happen? Lessons could be so much more effective with the ability to combine pre-built and blocks. Many thanks.
Hi everyone! I’m excited to share that the Rise Labeled Graphic block has arrived. Check it out here, and you can also review this article for ways to get started with this new feature.

Hi Frederick,
We're working on creating the pre-built lessons as Blocks too - so once we have an ETA on that feature, we'll let folks know!
Thanks for reaching out.
First day using Rise and this was my question, too. Please make this a priority because the pre-built stuff is awesome!
Perfect, thanks. Hoping it will come sooner than later.
Also, any ETA on the translation export tool?

Hey Miriam,
Looks like Crystal reached out to you here.
Both of those quizzes are attached to the request :)

Great news... Sorting blocks are out in Rise! Now you can easily add sorting interactions to the custom lessons you create with blocks.
Here's a recap of our Rise releases to date. Let me know if you have any questions!
Quick update: You can now add a timeline block in Rise! Take a look at the announcement here and some more details in this article.
Let us know if you have any questions!
