How do I find out the date a Rise course was created?
I'm sharing a workaround for finding the course creation date using the JSON data you can pull from a Rise 360 Share link. As long as you go slowly, a non-JSON literate person like me 😃 can get a lot of data from the Share link:
- Open your browser inspect or dev tools once you're on the Share link.
- Click on the Network tab and refresh the page.
- Look for an xhr file that matches the last string of digits on your Share URL. Click on that file.
- Click on the Preview tab and copy that text.
- Paste that text into a JSON decoder, like https://jwt.io/, and search for the data. In this case, you'll see the original date that blocks in your course have been created as well as updated. You'll need to scroll through some of your text and formatting tags in the data, but you'll see
createdAtandupdatedAtentries.
This process should help you get a rough idea of when the course was originally created based on the date of the oldest block. I hope that helps if you haven't been keeping version records like Karl recommends above!
- Crystal Horn , I need the creation date of all of our Rise content.
I need the creation dates for all the Rise courses, and the folks who created them no longer work with our organization. I am following your steps and have sorted by type under Network to isolate all of the XHR files. None of them match the last string of digits on the Rise 360 share link. So I looked at all of them and none of them have a single line of code like your example in step 4. Any ideas?
