Export Source File for Rise
Hi Everyone,
I must admit, not being able to download a source file for Rise is making me a bit nervous. I like the tool but it is painful not to be able to store our source file in a centralized location (behind our firewall).
The current storage capabilities of Rise don't enable us to file effectively and share....plus I still have an issue with leaving everything in the cloud. I don't know about anyone else....but when I file something....I don't want to see it in the list. That's why I have file folders.
Will Articulate be looking at any changes of this type for Rise? We like it but I am asking my team to primarily focus on Storyline.
Anyone else have this issue?

My vote for these.
Not being able to download a source file for Rise, is not good. I also want to protect all the work II've done.
Hi there,
I totally understand where you are coming from. The way Rise courses work is that they can only be authored within Rise and not from any other online application or software. Thus, the created content only exists in the cloud and can't be downloaded as a source file.
If you need to protect your work and save it for future updates/revisions, you may share the course with another author or use the new Rise 360 Team Folders. You can now create shared team folders in Rise 360 to organize your content and share content with collaborators.
Thank you for your responses. As a individual contractor this option does not work for me. There isn't anyone I can share my course with and honestly even if I did it's MY work! To spend thousands of dollars on Articulate and countless hours working on a project only to have access to it for a year is unacceptable.
I do have a Google Cloud account that I use for story files but I need a solution for RISE files. I tried using a Web exported file but it is a zip file and all it does is allow someone to download the file. If you can assist with how to get a URL in Google Cloud using a Rise file, that we be awesome. The video provided was for a Story file.
Hello,
I also agree with Shani Roberts! It should be possible to download the source file. So you or your client does not need to have a subscription just to keep the source. If you can keep a source file offline you can buy a subscription when there is a need to edit the file. It is unacceptable that the source files are gone after 6 months ending of subscription.
I am afraid many Rise users don't know this!!! They will be surprised if their subscription ends.
I was considering using Rise to build a course for a client, but since I know I can't save the source file I will not use Rise, although I like the tool. I can't sell this to my client.
I hope there will be an update soon where this is possible. It will result in more Rise users!!!
