AI Assistant: Creating, Refining, and Converting Blocks
Blank page problem? Not when you have AI Assistant! You don’t need to start from scratch because you can now easily generate, edit, and convert blocks in seconds. Our human-centered AI block generation process works with you to draft your content, ensuring that you stay in control every step of the way. Available only in Rise 360, AI Assistant’s block generation, block editing, and quick block conversion features can be accessed in multiple ways. Find them in the AI Assistant menu in the upper right, the block formatting menu on the left when you hover over a block, the shortcuts bar at the bottom, and within the block library. Are you ready to get started? Here are some tips for using these block generation features to enhance your course creation process. Create New Blocks from Scratch Refine Existing Blocks Convert Existing Blocks to Another Type Create New Blocks from Scratch Spend less time putting your thoughts into words—just pick a block to generate. Enter a topic, select reference materials, and let AI Assistant draft the content. Use custom prompts to guide AI Assistant in revising and polishing your draft. When you’re happy with the final copy, click Insert block and see your new block appear. It couldn't be easier! Use Source Content and Specify a Topic You can upload source documents in AI settings or when creating a new block and select them as a reference. AI Assistant uses the content in those documents whenever you generate new content. If you don’t have full files to upload, you can copy and paste content from external sources. The topic you specify guides AI Assistant in narrowing down the content from your source documents. This is especially useful when you have multiple source documents. If you specify a topic that isn't in your selected reference material—existing lessons or source documents—AI Assistant can also generate content using general knowledge. For best results when specifying a topic, try asking AI Assistant to: Focus on a particular subject within the source material. For example, you could say, “Focus on strawberries” when working with a source document about fruit. Focus on a specific section. For instance, “Focus on chapter two” ” when working with a source document with multiple chapters. Write in a particular order using specific source documents. For example, “Write an overview of all my source docs, write an introduction about fruit, write a conclusion about fruit.” AI Assistant also generates relevant topic suggestions when you select source documents. These are displayed above the prompt input box as quick-action buttons. Outline Your Content When creating a list or interactive block, AI Assistant generates an outline before drafting the content. For a sorting activity block, AI Assistant brainstorms the categories after you choose the topic and select the block type. You can then click one from the list or enter one of your own. This particular step gives you a bird’s-eye view of the main topics covered in your block, letting you arrange the main content and structure of your block. Focus on big-picture items like what topics to cover, what order the content will appear in, and how content will be separated into different sections of the block. Polish Your Draft In the final step of the block generation process, AI Assistant shares a full block draft. Now you get to collaborate with AI Assistant to finalize the copy for your block. You can task AI Assistant with doing just about anything here—changing the tone, target audience, format, or topics. Or, get creative! Try asking AI Assistant to: Add scenarios or examples Add pros and cons Add key takeaways Simplify or paraphrase Add more or less text Bold key terms Add emojis Add bulleted lists Note that AI Assistant doesn't support generating media such as images, audio, and video within generated blocks. While AI Assistant is designed to adhere to your topic and source materials, always check for accuracy. AI can't read your mind! It follows instructions but can struggle with context or knowledge gaps and may generate incorrect information. Before clicking Insert block, double-check the output. And if you’ve already inserted the block but want to make changes, use the write and edit inline or block editing features. Refine Existing Blocks In addition to generating new content, AI Assistant makes editing existing content easier than ever with its block editing feature. Use custom prompts to set the tone as more casual or professional, or target a specific audience by simplifying the language or adding technical terms. You can also shorten or lengthen content, or even completely change the topic. Since editing a block allows you to interact with AI Assistant using custom prompts, experiment and have fun! Remember, though, that AI Assistant rejects malicious requests and automatically blocks offensive content. After refining your content, choose to replace the original or insert the modified block below it to compare changes. Convert Existing Blocks to Another Type Want to see how your content would look in a different block? That used to mean tedious copy-pasting from one block into another. But with AI Assistant’s quick block conversion feature, you can convert an existing block into a different type in a flash. Turn a static list block into an interactive flashcard in just two clicks, or condense interactive blocks into a statement or a paragraph block. When converting blocks, AI Assistant retains as much of the original content as possible. AI Assistant maps the content between the two block types to retain content and generates new content only when necessary. In the case of blocks with a different structure, such as a paragraph block and a process block, AI Assistant treats the original block as the source to generate content for the new block. Note that AI Assistant can only generate, edit, and convert content for the following block types: Accordion Flashcard List Text Process Sorting Statement Tabs Video Tutorials Want to learn more before getting started? Check out our video tutorials for additional guidance on using AI Assistant to generate, edit, and convert blocks.

Rise 360: Share Content with Team Folders
Create shared team folders in Rise 360 to organize your content and assign permissions. Quickly assign roles to multiple authors for the content shared in these folders for better collaboration. Team folders is exclusively available to Articulate 360 Teams. Not a teams subscriber? Contact an Articulate 360 sales representative to learn more. Share Folders and Items Understand Tasks and Permissions FAQs Share Folders and Items When you add a collaborator to Rise 360 training, the item automatically moves to the Team directory. Team members see only those items to which they're assigned collaborator roles. If you're a course owner or manager, from the folder or item menu click the More (...) icon and select Share. Add editors or managers. You can also add the Everyone group to give everyone on your team access to the item. You can also remove or modify collaborators from this menu. Move a Shared Item Once an item is in the Team directory, create a new folder or move it to an existing folder to stay organized and assign global collaboration settings. Create new folders with the New Folder button. Hover over a single folder in the sidebar or an item card in the main window, click the More (...) icon, and click Move to move items and folders to new locations. When you move an item or folder to an existing folder, it inherits that folder's share settings. Everyone with a collaborator role for that folder has access to the moved item(s). See the Understand Tasks and Permissions section for more details. Unshare a Folder or Item Unshare a folder or item entirely by moving it to your Private directory. This removes all collaborators from the items. Only owners can move folders and items they've shared. If you unshare a folder that contains folders or items owned by others, those folders and items are also unshared and move to their private directories. Delete a Shared Folder or Item Click the More (...) icon and select Delete to delete individual items or folders. Only owners can delete their shared folder or items and move them to the Deleted section. If you delete a folder that contains folders or items owned by others, those folders and items are also moved to their owners' Deleted section. Tip: Folders and items can only be deleted one at a time. Need to delete several items and folders? Move them to a new folder and then delete the folder. Restore a Shared Folder or Item From the Deleted section, select the folder or item, and choose Remove from trash. Restoring shared folders or items moves them back to their original location. If the location or folder no longer exists, you'll find them in your Private directory. Understand Tasks and Permissions You'll have either editor or manager permissions to Rise 360 items you can see in the Team directory. Control who sees your shared content by placing them in team folders and customizing the folder share settings. Hover over the folder on the sidebar or the folder breadcrumb on top, click the More (•••) icon that appears, and choose Folder share settings. Or select the checkbox in the upper-left corner of the folder, then click the share icon on the dynamic action toolbar on top. In the pop-up that displays, search for specific team members by name or email and click their names. Then select editor or manager. Add the Everyone group to give all seatholders access as an editor or manager. To remove access, hover over selected members and click the trash icon. Permissions can be either explicit or inherited. Explicit permission is manually adding the user or group through the folder share settings. It doesn't change even when you move the folder. Inherited permission is when the folder automatically adds the share settings from the parent folder. If the folder is moved to another location, its inherited permissions are replaced with the new parent folder's share settings. To convert inherited permissions to explicit, remove them and manually add them back. Updating folder share settings applies the change to all subfolders under it. Currently, this also affects folders owned by other members. The permission on the updated folder is explicit, while the permissions on the subfolders are inherited. See the table below to compare permissions: Folder Tasks Owner Manager Editor View the shared folder x x x View shared folder permissions x x x Create a subfolder in the shared folder x x x Add a new item in the shared folder x x x Rename the shared folder x x Change shared folder permissions x x Move the shared folder (for managers, within Team section only) x x Delete the shared folder x Item Tasks Owner Manager Editor View items x x x Edit items x x x Create a snapshot x x x Add items to bookmarks x x x Publish an item x x Send a copy of an item x x Duplicate items x x Move items (for managers, within Team section only) x x Change item share settings x x Delete items x FAQs What happens to shared content when the owner is removed from the team? When you remove someone from your team, you must transfer all their shared content to another member to complete the process. To keep the user's unshared content with their Articulate ID account, uncheck the Include private content box. This is handy when the user is a contractor or freelancer who used their personal Articulate ID to join your team and has private content connected to it. See this article for more information about managing content when users leave your team. If you're leaving the team, move all the content you want to keep to your Private directory first, then ask your admin to uncheck the Include private content box when removing your access. More details on how long we'll keep your data here. Can I give non-seatholder admins access to team folders? Only seatholders in the same subscription can access team folders. If you're working with other teams, their shared content is in the External Teams section. Will I be notified when someone updates the items I shared? No, we don't send any notifications for team folders at this time. What happens when the subscription expires and I want to reactivate it? Shared content, such as Rise 360 items in team folders, stays with the subscription. If you think you might renew your subscription later and want to keep your shared content, move them to your private directory before your subscription expires. Your online data remains intact if you renew your subscription with the same Articulate ID within six months. You'll have access to all your private content items. Let us know if you need help retrieving shared content from the previous subscription.

Rise 360: How to Use Snapshots
Want to preserve versions of your training as you create drafts, collaborate with colleagues, and publish courses? The snapshots feature lets you save and restore your work. with just a few clicks. Snapshots are particularly handy when you're working with collaborators. You can capture a moment in your training as it develops and then compare it against collaborator versions or restore back to it as needed. No more having to create a duplicate copy of your training! Snapshots can also come to your rescue when you accidentally delete training elements, apply updates to the wrong training, or just need a manual way to track your versions. Here's how snapshots work. Create a Snapshot Restore a Snapshot Manage the Snapshot List Step 1: Create a Snapshot When you first create a training, your snapshot history is empty. To get started, open the Snapshots menu next to the title in the upper left and click Save snapshot. Enter a name and click Save to create your first snapshot. Whenever Rise 360 detects changes, like adding or removing content, you can create a new snapshot. Just open the Snapshots menu and follow the same process. Are Snapshots Ever Automatically Created? Creating a snapshot of your training is primarily a manual process, but Rise 360 will automatically save a snapshot whenever you publish to Review 360 or Reach 360 or export your training for LMS. These events show up in the snapshot history. Step 2: Restore a Snapshot Need to return to a previous version of your training? Open the Snapshots menu and click the Preview button for the snapshot you'd like to restore. After reviewing the content to confirm it's the version you're looking to restore, click Restore this snapshot in the upper-right corner. You can also restore a snapshot without previewing it by selecting the Restore option from the . . . menu. Step 3: Manage the Snapshot List If your snapshot list starts getting unwieldy, don’t worry. You can rename, restore, or delete snapshots by clicking the . . . menu next to the snapshot you'd like to modify and choosing the appropriate option.

Rise 360: Share Content with Learners
There’s more than one way to share Rise 360 content. You can submit it for publishing in Reach 360, export it for LMS distribution, host it on your own web server, or download it as a PDF file. Here’s how. Publish to Reach 360 Publish an LMS Package Publish a PDF File Publish Web-Only Output Publish to Reach 360 If your Articulate 360 team uses Reach 360, you can submit training directly from Rise 360 for an admin to review and publish. If you're aReach 360 admin, you can publish directly to Reach 360. Non-Admin Reach 360 Roles Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select Reach 360. The Submit to Reach 360 window displays (if the training was previously published, you'll see the date of the last publication). Set completion parameters. Learners can complete the training by viewing a specified percentage, passing a selected quiz lesson (in courses only, microlearning doesn't support quizzes), or both. You can also chooseNo Requirement. Note: If you lower the passing score of a quiz after the course is published, learners have to retake the quiz in the republished course to gain the benefit of the lowered score, even if their prior score would be a success with the new parameters. Selecting the Course Duration option displays the estimated time it takes learners to complete the training on the overview page. This is 30 minutes by default but can be overwritten with your own value. The Completion Celebration option displays an animated, confetti-filled, celebration for learners when they meet the completion parameters. Enable Certificate for course completion to provide learners with a downloadable completion certificate. Training has no due date by default, but you can select a set number of days to complete the training after a learner is enrolled or specify a due date. Use the searchable drop-down menu to select a specific admin to notify and add a note, such as if you'd like the training to be included in a specific library or if it's part of a learning path. Click Submit to complete the submission process and return to the training. For courses, if you haven't added content to every lesson, you'll be reminded to do so before you can submit a course. Once a Reach 360 admin reviews your submitted course and completes the publishing process, it’ll be available for learners. Reach 360 Admin Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select Reach 360. The Publish to Reach 360 window displays (if the training was previously published, you'll see the date of the last publication). Set completion parameters.

Enable Certificate for course completion to provide learners with a downloadable completion certificate. Training has no due date by default, but you can select a set number of days to complete the training after a learner is enrolled or specify a due date. Turn on library visibility. You can also select in which libraries the training appears. Assign topics, if any. Click Publish to finish the publishing process and return to the training. For courses, if you haven't added content to every lesson, you'll be reminded to do so before you can publish a course. Once published, the training is live in all specified libraries. Publish an LMS Package Export Rise 360 content as an LMS package when you need to track learners’ progress. Rise 360 supports xAPI-, SCORM-, AICC, and cmi5-compliant LMSs. Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select LMS. Choose an LMS standard: xAPI (Tin Can API), SCORM 2004, SCORM 1.2, AICC, or cmi5. Note: For xAPI and cmi5,if you alter the pre-generated identifier, don't use special characters. Select a Tracking option: completion percentage, quiz result (in courses only, microlearning doesn't support quizzes), or Storyline block. If you're tracking by course completion or a quiz result and exporting a SCORM, AICC, or cmi5 package, you also get to choose a reporting option. Note: For microlearning content, only select complete/incomplete options are available for reporting. Decide if you want to display an Exit Course Link for learners and/or Hide Cover Page. Selecting these options can help resolve third-party LMS issues. Note: You can't hide the cover page for training created from Next Big Idea Club content templates. Click Publish in the upper right corner again to generate the package. (If there are any errors, such as a blank lesson, Rise 360 will ask if you want to edit the content or continue.)

(For small deliverables, you may immediately be prompted to download the PDF before you have a chance to go back to the course editor. Just choose a location on your computer and click Save.) Click the download link in the notification email, then click Download Contenton the web page that opens. Choose a location on your computer and click Save. That’s it! You can read the PDF file offline, print it, distribute it to others, or even attach it to your Rise 360 content as an optional download using an attachment block. Want to see a video demonstration? Click here! Here’s how the interactive parts of your Rise 360 content appear in the PDF file: Hyperlinks work as expected and launch in your default web browser. Audio clips, videos, and web objects become static placeholder images. Interactions, such as labeled graphics and tabs, become a series of screenshots, one for each item in the interaction. (Each flashcard becomes two screenshots, one for the front and another for the back.) A Storyline block becomes a screenshot of the first slide in the project. Quiz lessons and knowledge check blocks display questions and answer choices. They don’t show correct/incorrect responses or feedback statements. Publish Web-Only Output If you don’t need to track learners’ progress, you can export Rise 360 content as web-only output and host it on your own web server. It’s easy! Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select Web. The zip file is auto-generated.

AI Assistant: Setting the Stage for AI Magic
Before diving into the course creation process, you want your authoring tool to be tailored to your specific requirements so you can focus on developing high-quality content. With features designed to streamline your workflow, AI Assistant allows you to do just that. Available only in Rise 360, AI Assistant’s course outline generation and AI settings features boost your efficiency—setting the stage for AI magic! Get a Head Start Just as a builder uses a blueprint, course authors depend on a well-organized outline to guide learners toward their objectives. AI Assistant’s course outline generation feature jumpstarts your course creation process by instantly generating a course title, description, and full set of lesson titles based on your chosen topic or source material. To get started, click the Create New button on the left of the Rise 360 dashboard, hover on Course, and choose Start with AI. Using custom prompts, guide AI Assistant by describing your topic, target audience, and learning objectives. The more details you provide, the better the suggestions will be. If you have existing source content, upload it for AI Assistant’s reference. Otherwise, you can rely on AI Assistant’s general knowledge. Pro tip: Currently, AI Assistant doesn’t use Bloom’s Taxonomy or other similar frameworks when analyzing what you enter in the learning objectives field. Therefore, you’ll get the best results by entering high-level topics or traditionally formatted learning objectives. For instance, if you enter “Tennis rules” as a high-level objective, AI Assistant generates a generic outline based on that topic. If you want specific outcomes, however, you might enter “Learners will be able to summarize the rules of tennis” to generate more targeted output. AI Assistant will generate a few course title suggestions first—you can pick one from the list or make further changes. Then you can proceed with the outline generation. Refine the outline as needed before applying it. For example, you can edit the number of lessons, change the lesson titles, or reorganize the lesson order. Once you’re happy with the result, click Insert Course Outline. From there, you can use AI Assistant to add content to each lesson by clicking the Add Content button next to the lesson title. When you generate a new block inside a lesson using AI Assistant, you’ll see suggested topics based on your course outline. At any time you want to review your AI-generated course outline, click the View course outline button below the title on the course overview page. This opens the AI settings window to the Course outline tab. You can also click AI Assistant in the top right, select AI settings, and then click the Course outline tab. Here, you can copy the course outline content with just a click. However, this view doesn’t reflect any changes made to the lesson titles after the course outline generation, only the course title updates. Keep Any Documents Handy As a course author, you probably start gathering assets and reference materials right after choosing a topic and writing an outline. While you can now generate content from scratch using AI, you may also want to create courses based on existing documents. You can import source documents to use as a reference whenever you want to generate new content using AI Assistant. But instead of uploading reference materials each time, you can keep them all in one place by uploading them in the Source content tab of the AI settings window before you start. Access AI settings from the AI Assistant dropdown menu in the upper right. Drag and drop files into the Source content tab or click Choose file to upload them. Supported files include PDF, DOC/DOCX, PPT/PPTX, and TXT/TEXT of 100 MB or less that contain up to 200,000 characters. Note that AI Assistant only references extractable text in your source document, skipping images, audio, video, and content found in the Notes section of a PowerPoint file. Pro tip: To use an existing Rise 360 course as source content, export the course to PDF, then upload the resulting file. For Storyline 360, publish the course as a Word document. While there’s no hard limit on how many files you can upload to use as source content for AI Assistant, we recommend uploading only what you need for faster processing. If you don’t have entire files as reference, you can also copy and paste content from the source into the text box provided.

Rise 360: Translate Your Content
There are almost as many ways to say “Hello” as there are ways to make Rise 360 content. That’s why we make it easy to export your content to an XLIFF file for localization into left-to-right languages and scripts with double-byte character sets. Step 1: Duplicate Your Content The first step is to duplicate the content you want to translate. The duplicate you create will become the translated version. Translating into more than one language? You can make a copy for each one or try out the alternate method below. Step 2: Export the Content as an XLIFF File Open the duplicate content you created in the previous step. Click Settings in the upper right corner and go to the Translations tab. If you don’t need to preserve formatting you’ve applied to your text, deselect Include HTML formatting. This exports your content in easy to translate blocks of text. However, it doesn’t contain the coding necessary to maintain any formatting you’ve applied to that content. To change the source language for your course enter the language code in the field. As you type, a list of available language codes appears. The default is U.S. English (en-us). Click Export XLIFF File and save the file to your computer. Then use a web app, computer program, or professional translation service to edit your XLIFF file. If Include HTML formatting is selected above, you'll see additional HTML tags and extra spaces in your XLIFF file. Don't panic! These are there to preserve your formatting when you import your translated file in Step 3. Tip: Rise 360 uses XLIFF version 1.2. Step 3: Import Translated Text Got your newly-translated file? Great! Open your duplicate content again. Click Settings in the upper right corner, go to the Translations tab, and click Import Translated Text. Select your translated XLIFF file and click Open. A message displays when yourtext is successfully imported. Why am I seeing an error? If you see an error message that says the “Translation file doesn’t match this course,” make sure you’re in the content from which you originally exported your XLIFF file. The XLIFF file is content-specific, so it can't be exported from one deliverable and imported into another. If you see a different error, the XLIFF file may be incomplete or corrupt. Download a fresh copy of the file and try again. If downloading a fresh copy doesn't work, make surethere aren't any blank section or lesson titles in your course. All section and lesson titles have to have content. Where did my formatting go? If you deselected Include HTML formatting in step 2, any formatting you applied to your content prior to importing the translated file is not retained. And let us know if you have any questions. We’re happy to help! Step 4: Translate Your Labels Don’t forget to translate your buttons and other built-in navigational elements. Click Settings in the upper right corner and go to the Labels tab. For more information on how to translate labels, click here. Translate Training into Multiple Languages Need to translate your training into more than one language? One method is to make multiple copies of the course, then translate those copies. But we like this alternate method since you don't have to keep track of which XLIFF file goes with which training copy. Export your XLIFF file as described in Step 2 above and then duplicate the training so you have a copy in the original language. Translate your XLIFF file into all the languages you need. Import one of the translated XLIFF files to the original training. Duplicate your translated training to have a separate copy. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all additional translations. Voila! We find it's quicker and easier to just "overwrite" your original file and make copies. We think you will too!

Rise 360: Add Text and Media
In Rise 360, blocks are form-based templates, so adding content is as easy as plugging text and media into placeholders. Depending on the blocks you selected, you simply fill out forms with text, images, narration, videos, and embedded web content. Here are tips for working with each type of content. Author Avatars Text Images Audio Videos Web Content Author Avatars You can edit the title and show or hide the author. Under the title, you can hide the author of the content you're editing by clicking the author avatar and selecting Hide Author. If there are multiple authors, you can select which author attribution to display. To hide all author avatars for all a deliverable, select the appropriate option in the Theme > Lesson Headers menu. Text Type your text in the web interface or copy text from external sources and paste it into Rise 360. In most blocks, you can add and edit text in the body of the main window. In some cases, you can use the sidebar—for example, add marker text in the sidebar for labeled graphic blocks. Format text by selecting it and choosing formatting options on the floating toolbar that appears. Or, use the keyboard shortcuts below. Key(s) Function Ctrl+A Select all Ctrl+B Bold Ctrl+I Italicize Ctrl+K Hyperlink Ctrl+S Strikethrough Ctrl+U Underline Ctrl+Z Undo Ctrl+Shift+Z Redo Ctrl+[ Decrease indent Ctrl+] Increase indent When you paste text, Rise 360 retains the source formatting. To paste your text without formatting, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+V. You can also restore the default Rise 360 formatting to pasted text by selecting it and clicking the Reset icon. Pro Tip: The default text size for non-heading content is 17pt. Quickly Insert Tables and Lists Available in the sidebar and main window of most blocks that support text,quick insert lets you add tables and lists to blocks with a single click.

Rise 360: Personalize the Theme
You can easily customize your theme in Rise 360 by changing the photo, choosing a theme color, changing fonts, changing your cover page, adding a logo, and more. Just click the Theme icon in the upper right corner of the editor to access the following options. Change the Cover Photo Change the Theme Modify the Cover Page and Add a Logo Select Course Navigation and Button Style Change the Lesson Header Hide Author Avatars Set the Theme Color and Adjust Contrast Change Fonts Modify Blocks Change the Cover Photo A cover photo is added by default when you create your content.The photo is used in various theme layouts. You can upload your own photo or search for the perfect image from an extensive library of gorgeous, royalty-free photographs. If you prefer not to use a cover photo in your content, that’s fine too. Select a cover page layout that doesn't include a photo and your selected theme color displays instead. In the Theme menu, select Cover Page in the sidebar. Next to the photo, click Edit. From here you can generate an image with AI Assistant, upload an image, or browse Content Library 360. You can also edit the photo in the cover page settings. From the edit menu, you can crop the current image or adjust the overlay for your cover photo. If it’s hard to see your title with a photo background, try adjusting the Overlay. Select a light or dark transparent overlay, then adjust its opacity as needed by percentage. Overlay adjustments affect text contrast for the image on both the cover page and sidebar navigation. For instance, if you select a dark overlay, the text color will be light and vice versa. Pro tip: Check your navigation settings to make sure your selected overlay provides the expected contrast on the sidebar image. Change the Theme New content has the Rise theme applied by default. For additional themes, click the Change Theme button. Changing the theme reverts any style changes you've made, such as font or theme color. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Note: If you've changed your cover photo, you'll see that image previewed instead of a default image for each theme. Modify the Cover Page and Add a Logo Select Cover Page from the themes menu in the sidebar. Select an available cover page layout to see it with your current content in the main window. Click Save in the upper left to commit your cover page changes or Cancel to discard them. For courses, you can add a logo. Click the Add Logo button at the bottom of the sidebar to upload your image file. Once uploaded, you can change or delete the image by clicking Edit. Reduce whitespace in your uploaded image by selecting Crop logo. In the crop image pop-up, manually crop your image or click Constrain to square to automatically apply a square crop which you can manually resize. ClickSave to commit your changes. If you change your mind, open the crop image pop-up again and manually remove the crop. You can also increase the size of the logo on the cover page by selecting an option from the Logo size drop-down list. Small—default logo size Medium—1.5x larger than the default size Large—2x larger than the default size Note: SVG and GIF files can't be cropped. Logo changes are automatically saved. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Select Course Navigation and Button Style You have multiple options when it comes to navigation. For courses there's the sidebar menu, compact navigation, and overlay navigation. For microlearning, select between continuous scroll or incremental steps. By default, Rise 360 courses use the sidebar menu. The compact menu is a small menu that appears as a minimized card in the bottom-left corner of your course. Overlay navigation is a large, persistent card that appears at the top of the course. For microlearning, blank content defaults to continuous scroll while stepped navigation is the default for content templates. For stepped mode, you can select an indicator type or disable the indicator bar entirely. Select Navigation from the themes menu in the sidebar, then select one of the available navigation layouts to see it with your current content in the main window. For courses, click the Buttons tab for options to change the appearance of previous and next buttons. Select from full width: Or floating: You can also choose from white or dark color schemes or versions that use your selected theme color. Theme color options have a 4.5:1 color contrast ratio.

Change the Lesson Header For courses, select Lesson Headers from the themes sidebar. To disable lesson headers, toggle the Hide Lesson Headers setting to On. When turned on, the lesson count label, lesson title, and author avatar won't display at the top of each lesson. Additional lesson header options in the Theme menu are disabled. There are several available header layouts. Select one to see it with your current content in the main window. If you'd like to use an image as your header, select the Image style and choose an image from Content Library 360 or upload one of your own. Modify the existing image by clicking Edit Image to access additional menu options. Use the drop-down menu contained here to modify the image overlay color. Once you've selected a header style, change the header height by selecting an option from the drop-down menu at the bottom of the sidebar. Lesson count labels can be toggled on or off with the appropriate option. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Hide Author Avatars There are three ways to hide the author avatar that appears on the cover page and in each lesson header. Globally: On the cover page, click the author avatar and select Hide Author. This hides the author avatar on the cover page and all lessons. For all lessons: Navigate to Themes > Lesson Headers and slide the Author Avatar option to Off. This hides author avatars for all lessons but keeps the author avatar on the cover page. Per lesson: In each individual lesson, select Hide Author from the author avatar drop-down menu. Set the Theme Color and Adjust Contrast Customize your content with a theme color and adjust text and graphic contrast in the Colors menu. Theme Color The theme color appears throughout your content to tie it all together. Choose from one of the suggested colors or create your own custom color: In the Colors menu, click Custom. Add a color by entering the hex code or manually selecting one from the color palette. Button text automatically changes from light to dark as needed to preserve a 4.5:1 contrast ratio for accessibility. Click Done to close the color selector. Contrast Ensure that text and graphic elements that appear over your theme color adhere to an accessibility-conformant 4.5:1 ratio by selecting Auto from the drop-down list. With this selected, the text and graphic elements that appear over your selected theme color change from light to dark as needed to preserve contrast. Note: When you select Light or Dark, training elements won't automatically adjust and may not maintain contrast that's conformant with accessibility guidelines. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Change Fonts In the Fonts menu, you can select and preview several recommended fonts based on your current theme. If you'd like to mix and match heading and body fonts, click the More tab to add and manage your own custom fonts. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Modify Blocks By default, non-text blocks animate smoothly into view as learners scroll through block lessons, but you can turn the animations off if you prefer. Select the Blocks menu, then toggle the Block Entrance Animations switch to Off. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu.
