New in Rise 360: 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).

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.

Available Now

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. Have feedback? Click on the feedback link in Rise 360 or join our forum conversation. We can't wait to hear what you think.

Version 1.0
  • Looking forward to seeing some of these changes - particularly items not being in the main list any more and the teams functionality.
  • Interesting changes. It will be nice to see the options for multiple authors /co-authors soon too.

    Very excited about this. My team is JUST getting started with Rise so I'm glad to get into this from the ground up. When does this Beta launch?

    Is there a way to copy bookmarked folders or copy folders from the personal setting to the team setting? The only options under the dots are Rename and Delete.

    The beta version has put all of our courses in the team setting, but they are no longer in folders...Just hundreds of courses listed.

    The only option I see is to create new folders in teams and move each course one by one to the folder.
  • We're excited to announce that this feature is now live. You may have noticed the Rise Team Folders feature is currently in beta—meaning it’s still a work in progress. It’s part of our new, incremental approach to feature releases—which you can expect to see more of in the future. This new process allows us to release features faster and give valued community members like you a chance to try them out and give us feedback. That way we can adapt and enhance the features so they truly fit your needs.

    This is the one update I have been hoping to see for the last two years. Thank you for finally making it happen!
    My team and I share a lot of content so it would be very difficult to find the content that I created myself amidst everyone else's content. This is definitely a game changer!

    Thank you!!
  • This is such a wonderful new feature! We have been waiting for this one for a long time and appreciate the work that went into it! On the Webinar yesterday it looked like there was a way to select multiple courses in bulk via a checkbox to add to a team folder. I am not seeing this option. Is there an easy way to move hundreds of courses into a newly created Team folder? Thank you again!
  • I asked this question during the live training yesterday and it was never answered. Is there a breakdown somewhere of the permissions available by role (especially considering the new naming)? If so, where can I find that?
