When reading comments on my Rise course, I would like to be able make changes to the content. As far as I can tell, I need to close Review and then Open Rise (while remembering the changes I want to make). I can't see the comments and make changes within the same window (As I would in Word or Powerpoint, for example.) Is there a way to do this? If not, can this be a future update?
Hi, Sarah. Welcome to the Articulate family, and that's a great question!
You're spot-on. While there currently isn't a way to edit or make changes in Articulate Review, I'm going to share your insight with our product team. We're always looking at new features, so if we make changes in this area, we promise to keep this conversation updated!
Additionally, comments roll forward with each new version, so you'll see actionable feedback for the version you selected and all versions before it. More on managing projects in Review here!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make this an upgrade...it's way to much work to toggle back and forth...Thank you for the suggestion on 2 browsers! That will work!
I would like to second this request - it would be so much easier to edit directly in Review360 while you're looking at the reviewer comment. Often there are just minor changes (spelling, or a missing comma) that would take one second to edit in Review360, and much longer to toggle into Rise to edit.
Thank you for sharing how important this feature is for your workflow! I've added your comments to our feature report. We'll update this discussion when this feature makes it on the roadmap.
I appreciate you taking the time to share your need for such a feature. This one isn't on our immediate roadmap, but we'll let you know if we add it to a future update!
The review feature needs to allow comments to be associated with specific content on the page (like PDF comments). We are having issues mapping the comments back to where they belong ... This has led to lots of inefficient workarounds that are not client friendly.
I second this request. I'm using the Review option for the first time, and I am very surprised that you can't edit in the same page where you are reading the reviews.
The lack of ability to pinpoint where comments are aligned to and the ability to see comments while editing is adding hours onto my project.
I'm having to use context clues in the actual comment to try and figure out what my colleague is referencing, then flip back and forth between two tabs. It is frustrating and time consuming.
It feels like a feature that is meant to make my work better and easier is actually making it harder.
I'm having the same problem with Storyline products in Rise when the review comes back only a front image is depicted and not related to the screen in Storyline that has the issue. I am using up to 30 screen process-driven Storyline add-ins which I then have to go through one by one to find what needs changing.
I use a workaround by having each screen numbered L1 S1 S1 (lesson 1, Scene 1, Slide 1) etc and have this tagged in the top right-hand corner of the slides during the review process.
We ask the reviewer to quote the slide number when they find content that needs amending and we remove the tag from all the slides once the review is signed-off.
Having the ability to let the reviewer highlight the content they are commenting on, then leave a note in the right pane would be awesome. For the reviewer who is also needing to make edits, it'd be lovely to be able to click on the highlighted content to make the changes and then have a button to put you back to the review comments screen to respond, resolve, or move to the next.
Being able to export comments is sort of a bandaid to the problem; being a challenge for multiple years is showing a very low priority from the company's side - but shouldn't your users be able to give feedback and see a higher priority so that positive experiences carry instead of negative ones?
While this feature hasn't made it to our feature roadmap yet, this discussion is connected to the report, so we'll be sure to notify you when we have news to share.
To hear that this feature hasn't even made it onto the feature roadmap is disheartening. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems to mean that this feature is not even in the plans.
I expected collaboration to be the central focus of Review 360 — to gain feedback from colleagues and action that feedback.
Would someone who's used this longer than me share your process for making Review useful without this feature? I am willing to admit that I may have just gotten spoiled by the collaboration features in Google Docs and Office 365.
Being able to edit the course by reviewing the comments side by side would be so beneficial for the users. This feature request should have been looked into a long time ago.
Thank you for your feedback! I'll share your comments with my team and be sure to keep this discussion updated with our progress. If you need assistance with a project in the meantime, please let us know!
I agree that this feature would add so much to this software already. However, I was able to have my editable rise 360 file open on one half of my screen and the review 360 screen on the other half so I was able to see the comments and the editable material on the same screen and make my edits. Just a work around until this feature is prioritized.
Thanks for sharing your workaround with the E-Learning Heroes community! I'll be sure to share your feedback with my team. If you need any help in the meantime, please let us know!
This feature definitely needs to be added. I use Wipster for all other reviews of my design work. Where you can drop a pin on the spot. There is a lot of guesswork with Review 360 and then the toggling between where you can't make corrections at the same time. I would have thought it would be a top priority because of the lack of functionality, not something on a feature roadmap.

I hope that helps, and as always: keep the ideas and feedback coming! 🌟
I open Rise and Review in 2 different browsers (i.e., Firefox and Chrome) and then I review on one screen and change on the other. Hope that helps.

Yes please! Making editing rights an option in Review would a huge time saver.
Has this progressed? this would be a great efficient feature.

Are there any new updates on this challenge?
