New in Rise 360: Team Folders (Beta)

Oct 04, 2023

Update—October 5, 2023: Find out what we've learned from your feedback and how we're improving team folders

We're thrilled to announce that the Team Folders beta is now live in Rise 360! With it comes an enhanced dashboard experience, convenient personal organization in My View, and even more ways to collaborate with your team (as well as external teams). 

Rise Team Folders

Updated Dashboard

The new Rise 360 dashboard sidebar organizes content into sections: My View, Personal, Team, Deleted Items, and External Connections (if you're working with external teams).

Courses you've created alone—without any collaborators—appear in the Personal section, and courses you’re building with other collaborators appear in the Team section. When you add a collaborator to a training item, it moves into the main Team section automatically. Only collaborators on the item can see it there, so don’t worry about others accessing it.

You can create folders and subfolders in each section. And now, when you move something to a folder, it's only visible in that folder! 

My View

With My View, keeping track of items you're currently working on is a snap. You can add specific items for easy access and create folders in the My View section to help organize things further. Content and folders in the My View section display only for you but can contain both personal and team items.

For the launch of the Team Folders beta, we've preserved your previous All Content view in this section. All the training items and folders that were there prior to today's launch have been added for you. This way, you can easily reference your previous view. Clicking an item in My View takes you directly to it. 

Update 10/5: Now, you can move the original item without having to leave My View. Just click the more icon and select Move file. Select a location or create a new folder, then click Move.

Personal and Team Folders

With Team Folders, content created in Rise 360 is added to the section or folder you're currently in. If you're in the personal section, your training appears there. If you're in the team section, it's created there. 

Collaborators can now be assigned at the folder level, saving you time. When you create content in a team folder, it automatically inherits the collaborator permissions applied to that folder. This can even be everyone on your team! All you have to do is select the Share menu option for a folder or item, then select Everyone and assign them collaborator status. Note that the current editor role is the same as the previous collaborator role.

External Connections

If you work with other teams in Rise 360, you'll see new team folders for them as well in the External Connections section. The folder names might be different from what you're used to seeing. That's because Rise 360 now uses the actual name of the organization as it’s listed in account management. This is true for your team as well. An Articulate 360 admin for the external team can modify it with the Edit Organization Name option in account management.

All Rise 360 users have access to the enhanced dashboard and My View feature. If you’re an Articulate 360 Teams subscriber, you also have access to the new Team section. And if you don’t have Articulate 360 but want to try out this feature, you can start a free 30-day trial

We're excited about the Team Folders feature because it'll allow teams to work together even more easily. And we're releasing it in beta so your feedback can guide us as we continue to develop it.

Hello Tamar,

Happy to help! One way to create a group or subfolder under a Teams folder is to click the more icon (...) next to your Teams folder in the sidebar and select "New folder." You can then control who sees your shared content in the Teams subfolder by hovering over the folder on the sidebar or the folder breadcrumb. Click the "More" (•••) icon that appears, and choose "Folder share settings." Here are the details:

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Eric,

Quick clarification: I wonder how to create a group within our larger organization. In other words, I don't want to share the team folder and its subfolders with everyone in the large team. Instead, I would like to share it with a specific group of people within our organization. Since this is a group of 30+ people I would rather have them grouped, then to add them manually.
Is there any such possibility?

Jose Tansengco

Hi Tamar, 

Yes, that is very possible. You just need to create a group within your Articulate 360 Team and assign the folder to that specific group to restrict access. Here's how you can create groups: 

And you can follow the article that Eric shared to share content specifically with the group that you will be creating.

Let me know if you have any questions!

There are still unresolved comments/complaints from FIVE YEARS AGO, including a super obvious platform flaw when saving as PDF (in which the page breaks are a total mess and there still appears to be no solution offered). Like many, I'm sure, we sometimes need to send as attachment or print using old fashioned paper... Did I miss something. What gives?

Hi Carmen!

Happy to help with this!

To clarify, is 'external connections' the name of one of your shared folders? Also, has the owner of the specific folder you're trying to access granted you permission? If you were granted permission, but are still unable to move the content, please connect with us through a support case.

We'd be happy to continue troubleshooting with you!
