ETA on Rise functionality updates

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since we've had any major updates to Rise and I was curious if anything new was coming to improve the software. It has amazing potential but I can say the limitations are exhausting from a design/layout perspective. I know many of the feature requests that I've seen on the forums for 2-3 years now have still not be implemented and I'm wondering if there is some kind of poll or "hey this is coming" that we can let our customers know about. Some of the top features we need from my perspective include:

  • High level glossary feature (where users can either click on a link to jump to that page of the glossary or at the very least a single fly out learners can access as they go through the course. 
  • General text control where we can adjust the line and letter spacing, bullets, indents throughout every block to give us more control over the look of the course. While I understand this is a rapid development tool, developers and customers alike need to tinker to make things visually appealing and readable. 
  • Image control with wrapping capabilities so we can tighten up the spacing around text or make it easier to include images on any text block, including blocks with columns.
  • Teams features that make it easier to share Rise courses with an entire team within the cloud. Currently you need to share the course as a collaborator and then change them to managers. Even managers don't have full control over the course to adjust all the settings or invite others.
  • Having some kind of backup system on Rise courses is vital. There isn't a version history for the course, so if you mess something up, that's it... you now have to redo what you did before or create many duplicates of the project to ensure it's backed up (and again to my prior point... you'd have to give others access to these backups in case they need them. It's a slow process to do this.

Like I said before there is a ton of potential for Rise and what you have is great, but as a designer (and to make these courses unique from every other course) I beg for a bit more control over the look and feel than you give us. While I realize many of these decisions are due to the responsive nature of it, I don't think Text/Image control really effects that aspect of the software. 

Thanks in advance for reading, and if you have any info on the next "version release" of Rise that would be awesome!

Regards,
Peter

    Great ideas Peter, and I support your request for all of these features.

    It would be great to know what the new Rise features and functions are that the Articulate team is currently working on for the next version.

  • Thanks for sharing, Peter. I've attached this discussion to the relevant feature requests so we can update you here with any changes.

    I don't have a specific timeline on these functions at this point, but we'll let you know if that changes!

  • Im also wondering what has happened on this stuff. It seems to be the forgotten stepchild.

      Hi Garth! We're still tracking requests for this! Thanks for following up. We'll reach out if we have an update.

  • Hi everyone! We are excited to share that we have released Rise 360 Team Folders! You can now create shared team folders in Rise 360 to organize your content and share content with collaborators even faster. We know this has been a popular feature request and we can't wait for you to finally check it out!

    Your Rise 360 dashboard will look a little different, but don't worry. You can find all of your content, personal and shared, in the My View section. If you run into any snags or have additional questions about Rise 360 Team Folders, our team is available in this discussion or in a support case.
