Delete previous versions in Articulate Review?

Hi There,

If I have deleted the course from review 360. can I publish the course again on the same link?

Please let me know.

Hey there, Dharmesh. Great question!

If you permanently delete a project in Review 360 and then select Create a new item in your authoring tool's publish window for that course, that will generate a new, unique shareable link.

However, if the course is still in the deleted folder, you can restore it and then republish it under the same shareable link by selecting Publish a new version of an existing item. 

If you're a visual learner, here is a short demo of the process!

Hey Katie,

I have tried that you have suggested. but I am still waiting for that feature to remove the previous version of the published course on review 360.

TIA

Happy Monday, Dharmesh!

I appreciate you circling back and will share your vote in our report. That way, we'll let you know if this feature gets added to a future update!

In the meantime, one approach can be to export all comments from the project and then publish a new item with a new version history. (Keep in mind that this will create a new shareable link.)

Hi there

I too would find a feature where you are able to delete a specific version from review really useful. Not sure how to comment on feature request (or if it is possible?) so adding the comment here. 

Example of a scenario where this is useful - I just published a new version of a Storyline file to review after a team member had worked on it and realised a few minutes later dropbox had not synched, so the version I published was incorrect. I need to keep the trail of previous versions (as there are specific checks and changes on each) and new versions in the same Review file, though would have liked to delete the incorrectly published version as it is redundant and may cause confusion down the line.

In the meantime (perhaps for a different thread), if you have any suggestions of a better way of working on SL projects with a remote team, without using dropbox (we are experiencing numerous sync issues with no solution from dropbox after months of enquiry) that would be really great as it may prevent issues like the above in future. I have the feeling I may be missing something obvious I'm missing in the workings of team slides!

Thanks

Hi I'd like to to add my voice to this request. It would be great to be able to send out a 'clean' published item using the same link as before but without a list of previous versions in the dropdown. I don't want clients scrolling through that. I just want them to have the current version. Nor do I want to change the name of the link and have to confuse them by sending updated links everytime something is updated - its better if they know they can just use the same link they know and trust and not get muddled over which link to use.

+1 here, so staff, is this an open feature request that was created 2 years ago-ish? I'd design it something like a pop up with check boxes to delete older versions and determine how to handle comments related to deleted one's but that might be a non-issue within the current logic?

That is, when you pub a new version, I think the comments from the prior version carryforward. That said though IDK what happens regardless of this new feature when, for example, the course structure changes (new version has one or more slides deleted or one or more added).

New slides would seem to be easy to deal with (keep comments tied to the orig. slide regardless of present slide #), but unsure about comments from a deleted slide - do they get orphaned now (remain in the new version but no longer tied to a slide)? Or likely they're "gone" in the new version for any slide deleted that had comments? I'll have to test this idea...

For a Rise course, keeping older versions might be something an author may want as I'm unsure about ability to save out older versions?

I am throwing my hat into the ring. SO many reasons why eliminating all previous versions of work would be helpful. Any updates?

+1 on the ability to hide or delete previous versions!
