Downloading Rise course for backup

Adding another voice here requesting the ability to download archival source files for Rise courses. As someone above mentioned, these could of course be in a proprietary format that would require a Rise 360 subscription in order to re-upload and edit on the Rise site at a future date. In this way, you could still require that people have an active subscription to make any future updates.

With this current approach, as a freelance designer/developer it is a bit of a hard sell to a client organization to develop in Rise. In order to be able to make updates to a course I create for them, they will need to maintain an uninterrupted subscription until some unknown date (probably longer than 6 months) when may have to make updates. In the absence of this uninterrupted subscription, their content is not updatable, and would have to be rebuilt from scratch. (Alternatively, the client would depend on me the contractor to maintain my uninterrupted subscription, which could be a headache if Articulate development is not the only thing I do.)

I have to say, one could easily interpret this as a marketing strategy to maintain subscription numbers...and if so, it may work on large corporations with in-house training departments and/or flush training budgets. But it could certainly backfire and reduce the appeal of an otherwise very slick product! 

Thanks,
