Learner Notes - Input Boxes
I would love to have a section that could be reachable at any point in the course for users to make notes or to comment? Has anybody seen any work arounds? Seems like a HUGE feature request, its just that our case studies and focus groups are showing that the end user want's to be able to make notes.

How on Earth is this still not a feature in Rise? I get this request constantly from users/colleagues.
Hello FraserWebster12,
Thank you for sharing your voice with us. I have shared your insight with our product team. We'll be sure to share any future updates in this thread so all are in the loop!
Have a great afternoon!
Hello - I agree I am looking at more ways to engage the learner with the content . A notes (reflection) option would be amazing in RISE. Has this been looked into? I couldn't find anything in the thread other then Storyline templates. Thanks brains trust!
Readers of this thread might want to check out another discussion here:
The solution I've been proposing on this thread isn't quite what is being discussed here - it is about collecting notes from the learner at specific points in the course and then including them in a course handout at the end of the course...
...But Phil Foss posted an interesting pop-up solution he has working in RISE that would appear to allow the learner to make notes at any time. Both my methodology using Storyline and Phil's pop-up use local browser storage because RISE doesn't have variables so you need to store the text input somewhere.
The data persists if you leave the course and come back BUT not if you clear the browser cache, switch browsers or change devices to resume the course which is why we need a native solution within RISE.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this thread, Cheryl!
I’ll go ahead and include your voice to the report. We’ll update this discussion if this feature makes it on our feature roadmap.
I hope that you have a great start to your week!
Not sure if anyone is still active here but Mike Amelangs learning notes in Rise is fantastic. Would love to see if becoming part of the out of the box Rise so that I can implement it without worrying if further updates might ruin it. https://360.articulate.com/review/content/33873893-2ea1-46d9-9415-3efca951d74c/review
Any updates on this essential feature? It looks like users have been requesting this feature for YEARS - would love an update!
Hi Mandy,
We don't have anything new to share regarding the feature request, but I went ahead and added your voice to the report. This helps us track how many community members have requested a specific feature. We'll be sure to let everyone subscribed to this thread know when this feature makes it to our product roadmap!
Add my voice to the report as well!
I've had a few attempts at solving the note issue using customisations to the Rise content after it has been published. This is tricky and you have to remember to edit it after you republish.
I've recently been working on injecting a note taker using Storyline. The Storyline block runs some javascript when it first loads to patch the functionality into Rise, then the block deletes itself. It's not quite ready to share, but here's a demo of it in action, which even works on the review page:
You can leave feedback in Review. I'd also like to know how people would like to see a notes feature working inside Rise, specifically:
- How would you access the notes?
- Where would the notes be stored?
- Would the user need to differentiate between different pages or blocks, and how would that work?
- What would the visual design look like for desktop and mobile?
Agreed with all of the above - each time I look for updates I hope that the team will at least ADDRESS WHY we don't see this enhancement. It's a top question at the vendor booth too! For 2 years in a row at DevLearn it has come up.
This doesn't look promising (nor help Articulate's image) when folks have been asking for over 6 years en masse.
