For maintenance purposes, is there a place in a Rise course where I can identify versions of the file (not the title)? Wondering what kind of process others are using. This would be in cases of an annual update cycle, etc. where you want to be able to identify and save files pre and post updates.
Thanks! I think that will work, but I like to have a backup system to avoid confusion or mistakes. For instance, in SL I add a version text box to the intro slide and hide it. I was looking for something like a comment field in Settings that doesn't display. I was thinking I might have overlooked a feature somewhere.
If there was some sort of versioning in Rise that would be great. I end up having quite of lot of duplicates of the same course by the end of the project.
Hi there, is there any update on this? I'm looking for the best way to organise past versions of courses. Currently I'm duplicating and renaming in the same folder, but having a versioning feature would be really useful (I will add as a feature request).
Currently, the best way to keep track of versions is exactly what you're doing – duplicating the course and renaming it. If we add a new feature to make versioning a little easier, we'll let you know!
I agree....a versioning enhancement would be helpful instead of having to manually do it. Much like when we publish Storyline to Review and can click on a dropdown to see versions
+1 on this feature. a version field in the settings page can work. then on your dashboard view of all courses, there's a dropdown on each course that allows you to select past versions.
Yes this is definitely needed. You end up with loads of files especially in a Team setting. For Legal purposes we need to keep one version of a course, but we do need to do maintenance and we can change the legally approved course. This is hard to manage and then if you have to do translations.....
Versioning is needed as well, to manage content you may delete and want to restore. After the pause of our business due to COVID we wrote some content that I'm revising this year -- and after deleting several blocks realized they may need to be reworked rather than deleted. Instead of recreating this content by painstakingly copying over from Rise published versions it would be great to be able to go back step by step or restore an older version. This is especially dangerous for files people may need to save for compliance, and time consuming. Either we have to copy the whole course for an old version or save block templates of everything.... Please fix as both the need for "Undo" and versioning have been reported many times over the years. Thank you.
Hi All! Thanks for reaching out and letting us know this feature is important to you. No plan for this yet on the current roadmap. We'll let you know if we make any changes that help!
I suggest adding a metadata field where we can add version info, tags, course codes, notes, etc that perhaps sits underneath each course tile in the Rise course list, for quick identification.
This is huge for record keeping and right now it is a pain! We're exporting to PDF then downloading and storing but there are several quirks with this method.
I don't have any updates to share at this time, as our development team has been prioritizing other features. Not to worry! I've added you to the feature report and will provide updates if it makes it onto our Feature Roadmap.
As I shared with HS & TT, our development team has been prioritizing other features, but you're in the right place for updates! We'll be sure to notify you if it makes it onto our Feature Roadmap.

If you publish to Review, you'd have a record of versions. You can overwrite or save as new with some sort of version number in the title.
As far as in Rise (currrently) you could save the course in a folder and make copies of the course to represent different versions.

Thanks, Nisha. We'll keep you posted if a versioning feature is added to Rise!
Awesome thanks :)

This is a feature I need as well. When working on a team you don't see the folders your teammates create, only your own.

Yes please! Versioning is needed. I like the idea of a field added to Settings.

Please work on this feature it is very important! When audits roll around it is very difficult to stay on top of compliance.

Any news on this feature?
Hi Moira! We don't have updates on this feature, but we'll be sure to let you know here if anything changes!

HI - has this been addressed yet? Seems a long time since the thread started!
I have just come across this issue again today, I posted on this issue 2 years ago. Don’t see anything yet?
Kind Regards,
Mary Brandes
Hi HS & TT!
Thanks for checking in on this!
I don't have any updates to share at this time, as our development team has been prioritizing other features. Not to worry! I've added you to the feature report and will provide updates if it makes it onto our Feature Roadmap.
In the meantime, here's a deeper look at how we manage feature requests.
