Vertical videos 9:16 in Rise
Hi all, is there a way to make Rise display vertical videos (16:9) correctly when viewed on a mobile device? More and more content is being recorded in portrait mode on mobile phones by the contributors of the the courses, but vertical videos in Rise appear small in a wide horizontal player when viewed on a mobile device in portrait mode. If not, are there any plans to support this format of video (a vertical player perhaps rather than just a horizontal player)? It appears to be increasingly popular these days with social media and more people viewing content on their mobile devices.Workaround for Line Breaks in Lesson Titles
So, like many other people, I've been struggling for a long time getting line breaks in lesson titles. We all know the <br> tag and /n just don't work, and that it impacts the side menu etc as well. To fix many of the styling preferences we have, I have resorted to updating the code in the index.html file after publication, just using notepad. I do this to put full screen backgrounds on microlearning slides (over multiple blocks), add logos etc. And today, finally, I have sorted the line break issue. Originally, I updated the index.html file of my microlearning module to look for a colon in the title, and manually split it onto 2 lines, after load. However, not all my courses have a colon in the title. So, I've adjusted that to be based on the number of words I want on the first line - in the example below it's 3 words, but you can change it to any number you want. The instructions are below. I hope it works for those of you that have had similar issues! Visually Splitting the Course Title in Rise Exports Modify the index.html file in a Rise or MicroLearning course export to split a long course title onto two lines. ✅ When to Use This: You want to visually break a long title in the Rise course interface. Works for Rise SCORM packages, MicroLearning exports, and standalone HTML files. ✅ Step-by-Step Instructions Unzip your Rise export Locate the index.html file in the root folder of the course. Open index.html in a text editor Use something like VS Code, Sublime Text, or Notepad++. (I use notepad!) Scroll to just before the closing </body> tag This is typically near the bottom of the file. Paste the following script just before </body>: <script> (function waitForHeader() { const heading = document.querySelector('h1'); if (heading && heading.innerText.trim().split(/\s+/).length > 3) { const words = heading.innerText.trim().split(/\s+/); const newContent = words.slice(0, 3).join(' ') + '<br>' + words.slice(3).join(' '); heading.innerHTML = newContent; } else { setTimeout(waitForHeader, 300); } })(); </script> Save the file Re-zip the course (if needed) Select all files in the root folder (not the folder itself) and zip them again. Upload to your LMS or launch locally to test. ℹ️ Notes: The script waits for the DOM to load fully, then targets the first <h1> element. It splits the title after the first 3 words. You can adjust the 3 to another number in this line: const newContent = words.slice(0, 3).join(' ') + '<br>' + words.slice(3).join(' '); ✅ Works With: Standard Rise SCORM exports MicroLearning exports LMS-hosted or local launches For best results, test after applying the change to ensure the heading is present and rendered in a visible <h1> tag.Adding a "Demo" watermark to all pages?
As a company, we've released an e-learning module built in Rise that is available for purchase. Several customer companies have now asked for demo access to the module prior to purchase to see if it meets their needs. However, we don't host the modules ourselves and we don't have an LMS, so it's difficult to allow access to a demo version. We were thinking about a watermarked version of the module, similar to a watermarked PDF. Is it possible to do this in RISE?Are articulateusercontent links permanent?
Hi all, I'm adding pdfs to a learning module. We dislike the look of the attachment blocks - they're very clunky. We'd like to add text links inside text blocks. I'm using a suggestion from elsewhere in this forum and it works but I have questions. We're adding the attachment block, right click copying the url and using the url in a text link. Then we delete the ugly block. 1. This all works, but the url produced by the edit function looks temporary, not permanent. Are articulateusercontent links persistent? How long will they last? 2. Secondly, when you upload a new version of the same pdf, it seems to create a new url. This is an updating nightmare as has been discussed here before. Is there any way to overwrite a pdf file instead of creating a new link? Thanks in advance, NeroliDoes Sorting Activity in Rise 360 work with screen readers?
Hello, it's great that the sorting activity in Rise 360 works with keyboard only for accessibility. I don't seem to be able to get the sorting activity to work with NVDA screen reader. Is this something that is known and in the roadmap, or can you tell me how this works?Designing eLearning Slides with Adobe Firefly AI
Struggling with slide design inspiration? In our latest tutorial, we walk through a super simple 3-step method to spark layout ideas using Adobe Firefly and Illustrator. We start by sketching a quick mockup in Illustrator; no polish needed, just a basic layout to guide the AI. Then, we upload that mockup into Adobe Firefly, adjust the style and composition settings, and let it generate visually rich layout variations that follow our original logic. This isn’t just about cool design experiments; it’s practical, too. Once you’ve selected a layout you like, you can bring it into PowerPoint, Camtasia, Articulate Storyline, or even use it as a starting frame for webinar intros, course modules, explainer videos, or promo animations. The clean, modern look makes it super flexible for any type of content delivery.

Hi everyone! We have a Rise course which uses Java to have Storyline generate a PDF based on what the user puts into some text entry boxes. It works in several hours ago but does not work now. -- No PDF is generated for downloading. We have tried in deafferent PC as well as browsers but the issue is same. Do you know why this happened? Is this a global function issue of RISE or Storyline right now? BR, BurtonNew Matching lay-out
Last week we received the updated lay-out of the matching knowledge check. The moment I discovered it was a bit unlucky (during a presentation, got me a bit confused) but today I had some time to look into it. The changelog as following on the articulate website: Enhanced: Matching knowledge check blocks have been upgraded with intuitive navigation, full keyboard support, and comprehensive screen reader integration. Now, I think it's great that Articulate is improving it's software's accessibility, however, I don't see anything intuitive about the new design. A lot of new things have been added which for me only make the assignment more confusing. On the left side the hamburger icon and number suggest some sort of clickability, which is not there. The drop downs on the right give the assignment a new layer of intractability which only wouldn't want for the student. Overall the lay-out is a lot less clean and drains focus away from the content towards the design. Maybe a simple solution would be to add a slider which let's us choose between this lay-out and the previous one (or this one without the rings and bells). That's just my opinion, I was wondering what other think of the new lay-out!Rise 360 | Pop-up boxes in labeled graphics
Hi community, I'm using a labeled graphics in Articulate Rise. Within the markers I'm using pictures and text. The picture is by default always above the text within the pop-ups. Is it possible to change this order and put the text above the picture? (see screenshot attached) Thanks for your help :) jens
