Publish to Modern SharePoint Site (Rise + Storyline 360) - Solved
Sep 18, 2019

Hi All,
As many others, I have been struggling with publishing rise/storyline 360 to WEB and putting it on a modern SharePoint page. Unfortunately I am not allowed to use a 3rd party web servers or FTP so here's what I did.
- Upload your unzipped course folder with all the files to your Onedrive.
Make sure your target group in your organization has "read rights" by changing the access rights of that folder. - Save the story_html5.html as story_html5.aspx
I removed the original and kept the story_html5.aspx only
I also removed the story.html
When I published a rise course I saved the index.html as index.aspx - Get the link to your story_html5.aspx or index.aspx file and use e.g. a HERO web part to add it to your SharePoint. Clicking on the link will open your course in a new tab without prompting you to download any html.
Tested in IE, Edge, Chrome
I still do have a problem and I hope someone else can help me out on this.
If I want to embed videos, it creates HTML files and those slides don't work. Changing those to .aspx didn't help.
So for now, I just try to avoid anything that creates further HTML files in the published content folder. I put the video in the course instead of using a link or embedding from youtube, from vimeo or from the company's internal video hosting platform.
I hope I could help.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Daniel - did you ever completely resolve this issue when using Modern? Having the same problem, and we haven't been able to get all of our published files to load.
Anyone else having issues with publishing for Web and using on SharePoint Modern?
Thanks Daniel. Your method works. I actually uploaded my files into the documents section on my SharePoint Online site and changed the RISE index.html to index.aspx. Then I used a hero image on the page and linked the index.aspx file to it.
This wouldn't work for me. I placed my files as you did, Chrissie, but my url keeps adding "download" in the path. I'm using Chrome, so I tried adding ?web=1 to the end of path as suggested here, but no go. If I use a path to a PPT or other type, it works as desired, which is to open the file in a browser tab. For .aspx, nope. I don't know if this is a Sharepoint setting or a Chrome thing. Anyone?
This has worked for me - hooray! However, the analytics-frame file still downloads because it's an HTML file. Anyone know what this file is and whether I could just rename it to aspx or delete it?
Change both the story.html and analytics-frame.html files to aspx files. No special software needed. Just edit the file name.
How do you change to ASPX files if you change the names and the only thing it does it's to move from story.html to story.ASPX(.html). I edited the file name and it does not change the file type.
Hello! I am not able to understand or do the last part, where you have added an image on the page...and linked it to index.aspx...help is appreciated. I changed the file extension when I extracted the file, then uploaded all my files to sharepoint, when I run the aspx file, it says you need the app to go with this...
Okay, now I have got the app issue to work..I just need help with the last part where we are linking an image to the aspx file. This is a RISE file.
Daniel,
please share a little more on how you added HERO web part and got it work. TIA! This is a RISE file.
Hi Daya, I have attached a document showing the way I added the Rise files to my SharePoint documents, renamed the file to .aspx and linked it. Hope it helps
It seems I tried this 9 months ago and it worked, but trying now and it doesn't. working as Chrissie did, when I copy the link, it already has "download" in it. Tested in both Edge and Chrome.
Hi Daniel,
I find that this method only works if I use my PERSONAL one drive. I can't place the published output in any kind of teams linked or shared folder. Is that where you placed your files?
Hi Everyone,
I was only notified now about the comments so sorry for late response. I am glad it worked for most of you. I now work for another company and I don't publish Rise 360 courses anymore to SharePoint so I cannot provide an up-to-date info.
Sue: If you get the "download" issue it's probably, because you added the files on SharePoint. I had the same issue. This only worked for me when I put the files in my personal onedrive and that's what I also state in my first bulletpoint. Whenever I added them directly to SharePoint or Teams it did not work.
Alfonso: You only edited the name and not the file extension. In win10, if you go to your file explorer and click the view tab on the top you have a checkbox for "file name extensions". Check that in and you will be able to change file extensions easily.
Daya: I hope Chrissie's pdf helped you. If you place the files on sharepoint or teams it will probably not work. Place them to your personal onedrive or ask IT to create another o365 account for this purpose. You will use the hyperlink of that story_html5.aspx file. Then you go to sharepoint page, choose your desired way of presenting it. I chose the HERO webpart and added the hyperlink there.
Christina: Indeed, I had the same problem. It only worked when I placed the files in my personal onedrive. I suggest you ask IT to set up a separate account for this and use that one. If you publish everyhing to your personal onedrive, link it from there and you leave the company all those Rise courses will probably not work anymore.
Cheers,
Daniel
Alfonso - thank you, that was the one simple step I was missing!!
Hey everyone, for those of you still struggling to upload your Rise to sharepoint...
This morning I uploaded a Rise course to my SharePoint for the first time in months and also got stuck with the same issue. Funny as my previous ones worked perfectly.
But I found a solution while having a look at my old Rise courses previously uploaded.
It seems the new exported scorm package has a few extra files that for some reason prevents it from running on sharepoint, so I just deleted them and now it is working perfectly.
I am attaching a document on what to remove
I've gotten my Rise course to display on SharePoint Online except the embedded Storyline sample I included won't display. It just kicks to an intranet error page (our intranet is SharePoint-based). Anyone else experience this or anything similar?
I am struggling with changing the file extension from html to aspx. Does anyone have instructions on how to complete that step?
In the File folder view, right click on the file name and select Rename. Then carefully use your cursor to backspace over .HTML and add/change the file extension to .aspx Hope this helps!
I had the same issue with the course files just downloading instead of running in the browser on sharepoint. For me, it turned out to be a sharepoint setting. MY IT department had disabled javascript from running by default. So, they set up a section for me that allowed javascript and it worked from there on.
I have been working through the challenges of uploading the curriculum onto the SharePoint site. The question is I have embedded Storyline lessons in my Rise360 training. Do I need to find all the HTML files and convert them to ASPX. I'm thinking yes, but before I go through this arduous task, I'd like to find out. My Rise360 curriculum is working as is, so the steps to change the Index to aspx worked. Thanks for that!
YES! - the same issue is happening to me. A Rise file I created with embedded Storyline files worked perfectly. However the same file does not work in SharePoint. The files show up as blanks. I was pressed for time so I removed the embedded files. My concern is that I won't be able to embed Storyline into Rise files being used in SharePoint. I hope Articulate addresses the issue at some point and/or beefs up Rise so we don't have to use Storyline.
Has Articulate got a 100% working solution for Storyline 360 courses working in SharePoint. Looks like they only work in OneDrive.
Hi Brian, have you had any success with the embedded SL showing in your Rise module? I have the same issue.
Hi Karen, have you had any success publishing your RIse with embedded SL in Sharepoint?
I had this problem on both legacy and modern SharePoint, but I just tested again, and I can get it to play.
We use Storyline 3, and I published to web. I changed the two file extensions at the top level from .HTML to .ASPX. Made sure my folder name had no spaces when created a document library on SharePoint.com. No issues.
