Right now Rise is a single column design tool where you add new blocks directly below existing content to form a single column of blocks. Are there plans to allow double or triple column designs so you can have side-by-side (multiple column) elements in landscape that rearrange to single column in portrait on a phone? I think the design interface would show the + marks both below and to the right of existing content so you could build out either way. Just a thought.

I would really like this feature as well. I created a course in Rise that has the pdf of the handout and I would like our learners to be able to take notes next to the handout. Currently it sits below the pdf and my team thinks the learner will struggle scrolling up and down so much during the course. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks Brett - I hadn't thought about something like that, but it's a cool idea I can share with our product team! I wonder if you could share a bit more behind the "why" for this column format - how does the horizontal columns help or change your design within Rise vs. the current vertical layout? It's that type of information which is really helpful to our team as they look at designing updates and new features as then they can dig into the why and all the possible solutions!

Yes, please for columns. We'd love to place a button element next to a photo element.

Thanks Jay, good to know that this same set up would work for you, as the image/button would have to reflow similar to the text/button set up shared above. I'll pass your feature request to our product team!

+1 for this feature. Some of your competitors have this ;-)

I'm putting my hat into the ring for a two column feature - say when I have two success stories and I want them to live on the same block for the user to choose.

I would also be really great if the two column text block allowed bullets.

Hi Christa!

You can use PowerPoint (or any image editing tool) to position two images side-by-side before importing them into a Rise 360 labeled graphic block. Here's how:

Open PowerPoint.

Insert the first image on the left side of the PowerPoint slide. Scale up the image until it fills the height of the slide.

Insert the second image on the right side of the PowerPoint slide. Scale up the image until it fills the height of the slide.

Save the PPT file as a PNG image.

Upload the image to the labeled graphic block.

After following those steps, it will look like you have two columns for a labeled graphic block!

Two columns would be really helpful as well as the possibility to align blocks to the left, center or right.

  Hi Jennie,
  
  Text block has the Two column block.
  
  Gallery blocks have two-, three- and four-column image blocks.
  
  Don't any of those work for you?

    Thank you for the reply. I would like to sometimes combine a movie to the right with a textblock to the left, side by side, for instance, is that possible?

Hi

We were hoping to change the index page to a 2 column feature as well. It would be really helpful for the content we have created to list it side-by-side, instead of one topic listed with the next topic beneath.

Can you let all users know if you eventually make this possible?

Many thanks.

  Hi Sarah,
  
  We have a few blocks that can make your course appear as two columns. For example, we have a Two-Column Text block and an Image & Text Image block. If these options won't work, can you elaborate more on your specific need?

    Hi,
    
    Thanks heaps for getting back to me, I really appreciate it.
    
    We have created a course on Rise and after you click the 'start here'
    button and get to the index page we have used a button stack feature to
    create the index content. However, the person I've built this for would
    prefer to have the content as 2 columns, one with lessons, the other with
    vocabulary builder. Currently, they are stacked one on top of the other,
    i attached a screenshot to help you see the issue..
    
    Is there any way I can edit this page to put lessons in the left column and
    vocab builders on the right or is there no way around it?
    
    Many thanks in advance,
    
    Sarah
