Feature Request: Author added to labelling edit panel?
Most of my clients don't want my details or a single person listed as the author of RISE content, but rather the themselves as publisher of the content.
At present, this means I have to change my name to much my current clients details in my Articulate account... which has obvious implications when posting even on the discussion forums here.
I would like to request that the Author details be modified within the new label edit window instead. That way we can assign a label set for each client with the author details complying to their needs, rather than having to modify my account name before exporting the content.

Hi Terri,
Are you looking to change only who is listed or to allow multiple collaborators access to all the features such as Share, Settings, Publish, etc.? I know a few folks have looked for both of those features, so I wanted to make sure I track your needs correctly!
Ideally, both. Plus the ability to set my authorship credentials as my company.

Hi Terri and all,
Exciting news! We've enhanced collaboration in Rise 360. Find out about different collaborator roles here.
And this isn’t the only cool feature we released today! Check out our What’s New page for the full list. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. 🙂
Thanks for the extra insight, Terri. I've also added your voice to the grant export rights to multiple collaborators feature report Ashley mentioned above!
While we promise to update this conversation with any forward movement on either feature, the What's New, What's Next and Rise Version History pages are other great places to follow. We post upcoming and already released features there, too!
P.S. Looks like you may have replied via email in which your contact information came through. No worries, as this Peek video will show you how to edit it out!
Any progress on this? I would love to © my employer here.
Hi Laurie,
I don’t currently have any updates, but you are now subscribed to this conversation which means as we share updates here, you’ll automatically be notified.
Please let me know if I can help with anything else!
Is there a way to remove the circle with my initials from displaying when I elect to display the author name for a course or section?
Hi Bonnie,
If you choose to display the author, the author photo (or the initials if you haven't uploaded a photo) will always appear. You could upload a blank image to get around this, but this may make the author name alignment look off.
If you'd like to be able to show the author name without an image, would you be up for logging a feature request to tell us more about your specific needs?
In the meantime, if there’s anything else I can do to help, please let me know!
I am wondering if there is any advance on the feature in Rise to replace the author from Instructional designer to SME. While adding a block intro works it is not as present in the course environment. I hate to be annoying but this is a feature I desire everytime I use it for a client. Thanks for keeping this on the desired upgrade list.
Hi Jim,
Do you mean you want to transfer the course ownership to an SME? Or that you just want to be able to make the SME's name and photo appear as the author on the course? If the former, that's already possible. Here's how that works.
If the latter, would you be up for logging a feature request to tell us more about your specific needs?
In the meantime, if there’s anything else I can do to help, please let me know!
This solution isn’t likely to be that helpful as none of my SMEs who write/develop course content have access to 360, nor do they need it. I’m assuming any person you could transfer the authorship to or collaborate with must have an Articulate 360 license…
I’d like to be able to just say click a radio to ‘Enter custom author details’ and then add a name and a upload photo – and ideally be able to add more than one author.
Many thanks,
Nic
I would still like to be able to input a new author name and image just like Nicola Fern mentions. Our SME's do not have access to Rise 360 so the new collaboration features will not help with this issue.
Any progress on this? I see the original question was asked 4 years ago and the requested feature is still not here. Can you just make the Author an editable field so we could decide what to put into that field (be it our name, SME's name, company name, etc.). Thank you.
Hi Matti, thanks for checking in. We don't have any updates for this feature yet, but we will post it here as soon as we do.
Hi. Has this feature been enabled yet? It'd be great if I could add the content owners details or possibly a teams name so queries get directed to someone other than the individual converting the content owners script into Rise.
The way I hack this (adding a diff Author than you) is I change the label on the start course button is Rise. Make sure to turn off default Author (you).
I also need the ability to change the author, on a per-lesson basis within a single rise course. The quote-block method described above is a bit kludgy.
Hi,
Here is a simple solution.
Choose to hide the Author for the entire course.
Use the course text details area to add as many authors you need to (right below the course cover image).
Yes, thanks, very simple solution, also inelegant, especially given Rise's extremely limited methods for simply inserting an image inline with a paragraph of text.
My request is to enable the use of the built-in author area, which is functionally useless for those of us who work with multiple SME's or as representatives of larger agencies.
