Themes Automatically Applied to AI-Generated Content
Background / Problem We understand that fonts and colors can be changed via Theme, but for content created with AI, we currently have to manually reapply the same settings each time. To align with unified brand design (fonts/colors/button and interaction styles, etc.), post-generation adjustments are required, increasing operational effort. In other projects, we duplicate content saved as design templates, but we cannot launch Create new with AI from existing content. This prevents us from combining template-driven workflows with AI generation efficiently. Request (Desired Behavior) Theme templating Allow saving and managing Theme settings (fonts, color palettes, button styles, default cover/lesson layouts, etc.) as “Theme Templates.” Enable setting a “default Theme Template” at workspace/folder/project levels. Integration with AI generation When using Create new with AI to generate a course, provide an option (default ON/OFF) to automatically apply the selected Theme Template. Allow launching Create new with AI from existing template content and inherit that content’s theme settings for the newly generated course. Bulk apply / reapply Provide a function to bulk apply or reapply (diff-based update) a Theme Template to existing courses. Offer impact previews (fonts, colors, component styles) and before/after comparisons prior to applying changes. Management / sharing Support versioning, ownership, update history, and team sharing (view/edit permissions) for Theme Templates. Support export/import (e.g., JSON) to facilitate migration across workspaces and backups. Expected Benefits Immediately achieve brand-consistent courses after AI generation, greatly reducing rework. Improve consistency of design standards across teams/organizations, enabling scalable production. Combine template operations with AI generation to balance speed and quality. Representative Use Cases Roll out brand-approved fonts and color schemes across multilingual courses. Apply a unified theme to large volumes of microlearning for Sales/Support. Launch Create new with AI from an existing template: let AI handle structure and tone, while the visual design remains fixed by the template. Acceptance Criteria (Examples) At the start of Create new with AI, users can select which Theme Template to apply (default sourced from workspace settings). After generation, users can reapply the Theme Template to the course with one click. Items manageable via Theme Template: fonts (body/headings), color sets (primary/secondary/accent), component styles (buttons/links/cards), and default layouts for cover/lessons. Template sharing settings and version history are visible. Note (Alternative) As a minimum improvement, allowing Create new with AI to be launched from existing content and inherit that content’s theme settings would already deliver significant value. Thank you for your consideration.Course Certificate in Rise 360
It would be helpful if automatic course certificate creation were included in Rise's upcoming features. This would allow a learner to click a button to save or print a PDF of their course completion certificate. Since there's currently no such feature, we achieve this differently, based on our needs. (This was initially posted in Discussions.)Glossary In Articulate Rise?
I work on some pretty technical pieces and I'd love to see an interactive glossary feature in Rise so a user can click or hover on a word and a description of the term/ concept comes up. I know we can do this in SL, and can obviously put this in as interactions, but it would be so useful for us to have this as a standard feature! Has anyone created this or something similar? Currently, we use accordions, downloadable glossaries, carouse swipe type features- but it means the user must go into a separate block or lesson to access them. Personally, I find it breaks my learning and train of thought- so I assume it would do for my learners too! Ideas on how to better do this would be greatly appreciated!RISE 360 Blocks with Resizing of Images
Will there be an easier way to adjust pictures in blocks within RISE? I struggle when I import a picture, its so big.. Would be a easier if we could just adjust in the RISE platform itself, rather than resaving else where and putzing around with the sizing. The labeled graphic block as well as the tabs interaction isn't my friend when it comes to images. When you insert pictures, they are very big. I've tried to shrink and they still come in big or distorted.Accessibility should include voice recognition software
In recent years, both Rise and Storyline have had numerous accessibility improvements, but these have focussed mostly on screen reader and keyboard support. I work in the UK Public Sector and we have more colleagues that use voice recognition software than screen readers and magnifiers put together. Voice recognition software is used by people who can't use a mouse and keyboard, or who find it difficult or painful to use them. There are many people with hand and arm impairments that this affects, including people with tremors, arthritis, cerebral palsy, and of course, amputees. Voice recognition software allows users to operate their device, and navigate and interact with content using just voice commands. The majority of workplaces use Dragon Naturally Speaking (by Nuance) but there are also people who use Apple VoiceControl, Windows Voice Access, and Android Voice Access. WCAG considers voice recognition software as a recognised assistive software, often referring to it in the guidance for specific success criteria. I think Articulate should also support the main voice recognition software. Not doing so excludes so many people. Support for Dragon would make a huge difference! We are currently having to advise against the use of certain Rise and Storyline content because they are not accessible for our 2,000 Dragon users. For example, we cannot currently use the multiple choice questions in Rise, or flipcards, because they do not work with Dragon.Rise Quiz Results 'slide'
If you add a quiz lesson, you cannot add any lesson blocks around it (e.g. paragraph text block). After answering the questions I want to guide learners on their next task. All I can do is edit the last quiz question's feedback. What I really need is an editable results slide, giving the score and some instruction text on what to do next.Ability to Copy/Move Microlearnings to Courses
In Articulate 360, it’s possible to copy or move a lesson from one course to another, but there’s no equivalent capability for microlearning content. 🙄 Instead, users are forced to rebuild microlearning content as block templates every time they need to reuse it in a course, which is both inefficient and unnecessarily time-consuming. 🤬 This gap creates avoidable friction in what should be a straightforward workflow. Enabling the ability to copy or move microlearning content into courses would be a simple but high-impact improvement that would remove a lot of frustration and redundancy. Rather than focusing heavily on AI features, it would be great to see attention given to strengthening these core content management capabilities that directly affect day-to-day productivity. I am sure I am not the first person to share this feedback. Thanks for your time and consideration! 🙂Brand Kit in Rise 360
Feature Idea: As an ID for a company with a specific brand package, I would love the opportunity to create a custom theme/brand that includes more than one color to streamline the customization/editing process. Currently, you can only select one hex code as the "theme" color, which appears throughout block customizations. With a brand kit, there could be a palette of all brand colors that would then appear within the formatting settings instead of the generic rainbow palette, which then reduces the need to input hex codes individually. It would be nice to be able to set custom Styles. For example, I often use a light blue background on some blocks. I wish I could simply click the Style icon and select it from a list instead of clicking custom + inputting the hex code.Rise feature suggestions
1. Right now when inserting audio into Rise for regular blocks, there is a volume control option. It would be nice to have this volume control option in custom blocks where audio is added as well. Regular Block with audio control options: Custom block with audio inserted, but no control options: 2. There are options of " Completion Type" for the Continue button. It would be great to have something indicate or highlight what topic/content/interaction was missed/not complete in order to move on.Chatbots in courses
People have been able to make AI chatbots that pull content and answer user questions in courses. It would be great if this could be a feature storyline provided without having to use external programs to build the chatbot. I build large guides in rise and while the search feature is nice, it would take the guide to the next level if learners could ask their question to the chatbot and get answers from the content in Rise.
