In Rise, blocks are form-based templates, so adding content is as easy as plugging it into placeholders.

For every lesson, you can edit the lesson title and show or hide the author. Then you can fill out blocks with text, tables, math equations, and more—or use AI to help generate content. Here are tips for working with text-based content.

Text

Type your text in the web interface or copy text from external sources and paste it into Rise.

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.

  • Ctrl+A - Selct all

  • Ctrl+B - Bold

  • Ctrl+I - Italicize

  • Ctrl+K - Hyperlink

  • Ctrl+S - Strike through

  • Ctrl+U - Underline

  • Ctrl+Z - Undo

  • Ctrl+Shift+Z - Redo

  • Ctrl+[ - Decrease indent

  • Ctrl+] - Increase indent

Mac Users: Use the Cmd key instead of the Ctrl key.  

Tables

Tables make organizing and presenting complex data easy. To get started, add a table using a table block or quick insert when it’s available.

Quick Insert

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. 

On a blank line, click Quick Insert (+). Select Insert Table, Unordered List, or Ordered List from the row of icons.
