New in Rise 360: Hide Cover Page

May 18, 2023

Have you ever wished you could hide the cover page of a Rise 360 course so learners could dive right into the content? Well, now when you publish for LMS you can! Simply toggle the option on before you export your course and you’re all set.

A screenshot of Publish to LMS page showing export options. A black arrow is pointing to where Hide Cover Page switch is located.

If you’re an Articulate 360 subscriber, you can access this new feature immediately in the LMS settings of any Rise 360 course. And if you don’t have Articulate 360 but want to try out this feature, you can start a free 30-day trial.

Once you’ve given it a try we’d love to hear what you think! Please share any feedback or suggestions in the comments below. We’ll be working on enhancements for this feature and want to know if there are areas for improvement or additional functionality that you’d like to see. We’re looking forward to your feedback!

Hi, i'm looking for a way to improve the users experience , when a micolearning project is integrated as a web object into a Storyline project. I wish i would hide the cover page to help the users fosuning on the content of the Rise project. Any idea of what may help ? Also I do not manage to change the size of the screen and that forces the users to use a side bar which is not very nice looking too. Thankx !

I think the UI language leaves a lot to be desired.

"Hide Cover Page" and "Turn the cover page on/off" are at odds with each other - Do I toggle this on to hide the cover page or do I toggle this on to turn on the cover page? Can you remove the "Hide Cover Page" language and have it just be "Turn the cover page on/off", with on meaning the cover page is on and off meaning the cover page is off? 

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

I am not publishing for LMS, but rather using Rise to create interactive elements, and I embed using iframe in another program we use. 

I really want to get rid of the cover page, so that all I need to publish as HTML5 is the interactive portion and put that in. Any way to just delete the cover page and the starting page is the interactive piece?

Hi Christine, 

There isn't a way to remove the cover page of Rise 360 courses. Have you tried creating Microlearning courses instead of regular Rise 360 courses as an alternative? Microlearning courses have access to all of the blocks available in a Rise 360 course, and it is more compact and streamlined. Note that Microlearnings cannot be divided into sections, so consider this when designing the content.

Hi Christine, 

Thanks for the update!

Adding a toggle feature to hide the cover page is a feature request we are actively tracking. We've added your voice to the request and let you know as soon as it makes it to our product roadmap!

While we don't support this method, if you're familiar with HTML and CSS, you can edit the published output to include the code below on the cover page of a Microlearning course to hide it: 

style="display: none;"

Here's a video of what the page will look like with the cover page hidden using CSS.
