How do you track course version history?
All the searches I have done on version history, change record, edit history, etc show that people have been asking for this for years, but it is not on the radar for implementation. Huge miss for ...
Hello Everyone, 🎉
I'm happy to let you know we released a new update for Rise 360! This update adds the following feature:
- Save and restore your work with a click via an easy-to-access version list that captures manual saves and export events.
There's nothing to install for web apps. New features and fixes are immediately available. Let me know if you have any questions about this update.
- Save and restore your work with a click via an easy-to-access version list that captures manual saves and export events.
No offense but yet another area where Articulate is dropping the ball on a common functionality for almost any other software. This is not a "feature", it's a staple for any semi-professional piece of software.
What is the roadblock to adding this in?
Exactly, another huge gap in functionality.
Every day I use Rise 360 is another day I wish my new company would eliminate it.
I recently posted this list of other missing essential functionalities:
- No persistent undo
- No find/replace
- No randomization of quiz questions
- No quiz question pool to randomize questions asked
- Only the most basic gamification (worst selection of any authoring tool
- Very limited image size and spacing controls
- No offline backup of Rise360 files (yes, I can store non-editable SCORM), but my courses cannot be saved and restored if I move to another company... or if I am consulting and my employer wants a copy of the source.
- No revision control (other than cumbersome course cloning)
- and more... I have a growing list of inadequacies.
I am beginning to think that Rise 360 is 95% profit and they no longer pay developers to improve the product.
I'd love to be proven wrong... please show me a version change log for Rise 360.
Hi Shawn,
BTW these features already exist:
- randomization of quiz questions
- quiz question pool to randomize questions asked
Hello Karl,
Thank you for your reply.- randomization of quiz questions
- quiz question pool to randomize questions asked
Thank you so much. I didn't know about the question bank tab.
Having it outside the course is kind of bizarre because I build many diverse courses that will never share the same bank of questions. Unfortunately, I can't import/export the question bank so that it can be more easily edited and/or translated. :(Honestly, I am not a chronic complainer. I just think that Articulate Rise 360 needs so many improvements. The authoring tool I used to use was significantly more feature-rich.
Hi Shawn,

Feel free to raise a feature request in case there's an enhancement that you'd like to see in future releases of Rise 360!
We don't mean version history as in Rise's version history. We mean the function of version history. Being able to update content and have an automatic save so we can go back and view the past course if we want. Right now we have to duplicate the course over and over and over to keep an archive.

This would be helpful for Storyline as well.
Thank you Jose.
That is useful. I would really like to see what has improved because it not evident to me.
But the other "history" that many of us need is version control in Rise 360. This should be a fundamental feature.
If I had a choice, I would much rather you give us the ability to save our training courses to our local computers... let us do our own version control.
It is a huge headache that we cannot save local source copies of our courses. We can save SCORM files, but those are not truly editable. Articulate Rise 360 is the ONLY authoring tool that doesn't support saving a local copy of its source. :(
