Skip ahead feature
I attended the Quick Tips and Tricks episode #125. This episode announced a new feature called 'Skip ahead' that is offered using the quiz feature. It's a great enhancement and can't wait to begin using it for pre-test options.
I immediately thought of another scenario where something like this would be useful, 'Choose Your Role'. I'm faced with many situations where the course is taken by a diverse audience, however certain content may not be applicable for the entire audience. Although Storyline can support, what I refer to as "branching" paths, this is difficult in RISE.
Unfortunately, the new RISE feature doesn't allow customization where I could update what is visible to the learner so it doesn't appear as a quiz. I would assume similar coding could by used for a "Choose your role" block. Based on the learner's selection from the options provided, it would either take the user to the very next lesson or to a lesson that developer chooses.
I'm going to look into creating a customer block with coding to support my need but it would be great if it was considered for a new block option.
Thanks for sharing this idea, DebClemons, and thanks as well to DShaw and Judy for offering alternative approaches.
I can see how a role-based path selection feature would be helpful when building training for multiple audiences. While there are ways to create branching experiences in Rise 360 today, I understand the value of having a more streamlined option that allows learners to identify their role and automatically follow the content most relevant to them.

DebClemons Maybe you could use a button stack, a button for each role, and point the button trigger to the relevant lesson for each role
DebClemons: As DShaw said, you can use button blocks for navigation to control the paths a user can follow.
This solution comes with some caveats, which are listed in this post about Branching in Rise. The post also links to a published Rise course that demonstrates and explains the settings used for branching.
Thank you for the suggestion and sharing the demo
