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 Articulate who should know that users working for large companies need to keep a record of the versions of a course for audit purposes. Maybe they'll create this at some point.
\n
Until Articulate creates a function to record & access version histories, I need to figure out a way to do it myself that satisfies our Quality department. So far I have found 2 options:
\n
1) Duplicate published courses & save one copy with a title indicating it is version history 1 or 2 or with the version publication date. However, over time we could end up with a ton of copies of courses cluttering up the All Content view. Not the end of the world, but not ideal.
\n
2) Publish a published course to PDF and save it to a company drive. This would mean any embedded videos are inaccessible unless a link to the video is included in the text.
Is there a way to save a usable version of a course that I am missing? If I publish to the web will that version be updated if edits are made to the course in Rise 360?
Hi Shawn,

BTW these features already exist:

\n- randomization of quiz questions

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.

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:
\n
\n- No persistent undo
\n- No find/replace
\n- No randomization of quiz questions
\n- No quiz question pool to randomize questions asked
\n- Only the most basic gamification (worst selection of any authoring tool
\n- Very limited image size and spacing controls
\n- 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.
\n- No revision control (other than cumbersome course cloning)
\n- and more... I have a growing list of inadequacies.
\n
\n
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.

Hello Karl,
Thank you for your reply.

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. :(
\n
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.
