How long will old Rise Preview links forward to newly created Quick Share links?
Hello,
Our organization has a lot of Rise Preview links that we still use today for various reasons, projects, and customers. Moving forward, some of these links will be converted to the new Quick Share links (when updates need to be applied to their content) and some will remain as older Preview links if no updates are needed for a particular Rise course. That said, we noticed that when an old Preview link is converted to the new Quick Share link that the URL changes (however, the old Preview link URL still thankfully forwards to the new Quick Share link URL). A couple of questions about this:
- How long will old Rise Preview link URLs still forward to a newly created Quick Share link URL?
- If we never update an older Rise course, and continue to use the old Preview link for it that we created years ago, will we ever be forced to convert it to a Quick Share link at some point?
Thank you in advance for any and all answers regarding this!
Hello SeanSanders,
Thank you for reaching out about your organization's workflow for using Preview links. I'm happy to discuss all things Quick Share!
1. Old Rise Preview link URLs will continue to work indefinitely, even after a Quick Share link is created. They won't automatically forward to a Quick Share link unless you update the course and distribute the new Quick Share link.
2. You and your team will not be forced to manually convert any older Preview links to a Quick Share link in the future. If we make any updates in the future, we'll be sure to share changes on our version history so everyone is aware.
Here's a helpful video tutorial you can reference as you start exploring possibilities with Quick Share!
