Need to reuse a lesson you’ve already created? Instead of rebuilding it from scratch, copy the entire lesson to another Rise course in just a few clicks.
If you develop Articulate Rise courses regularly, chances are you’ve created lessons that you’d like to reuse. Maybe it’s a course introduction, a knowledge check, a company policy, or a standard resources page.
While you could recreate the lesson—or even copy blocks one at a time—there’s a much faster option. Rise lets you copy an entire lesson from one course to another, preserving all of the text, images, interactions, and formatting.
It’s a simple feature that can save a tremendous amount of development time.
Why Copy Lessons?
Copying an entire lesson is ideal when you have content that appears in multiple courses, such as:
- Course introductions
- Learning objectives
- Navigation instructions
- Accessibility information
- Knowledge checks
- Company policies
- Resource pages
- Contact information
- Course conclusion pages
Instead of rebuilding these lessons each time, copy them and make any minor edits needed for the new course.
How to Copy a Lesson to Another Course
Copying a lesson takes less than a minute.
- Locate the lesson you want to copy.
- Click the three-dot menu next to the lesson.
- Choose Copy to Another Course.
- Select the destination course.
- Open the destination course.
- Drag the copied lesson to its desired location in the course outline.
That’s all there is to it.
What Gets Copied?
When you copy a lesson, Rise copies everything in it, including:
- Text
- Images
- Videos
- Interactive blocks
- Knowledge checks
- Buttons
- Flashcards
- Labeled graphics
- Accordions
- Process interactions
- Formatting
The copied lesson becomes part of the destination course, so you can edit it without affecting the original.
Create Your Own Lesson Library
Here’s a productivity tip: create a dedicated Rise course that serves as your personal lesson library.
Populate it with lessons you use repeatedly, such as:
- Welcome pages
- Course introductions
- Learning objectives
- Navigation instructions
- Accessibility information
- Frequently used interactions
- Knowledge checks
- Resource pages
- Course conclusion pages
When you begin a new project, simply copy the lessons you need into the new course and arrange them as desired. Over time, you’ll build a library of polished, reusable content that can dramatically speed up course development.
Final Thoughts
Copying lessons between Rise courses is one of the easiest ways to eliminate repetitive development work. Instead of recreating an entire lesson—or copying assets one at a time—you can move complete lessons into another course in seconds.
If you routinely build multiple Rise courses, this feature is well worth adding to your workflow. You’ll spend less time rebuilding content and more time creating engaging, effective learning experiences.
