How to customize the urls of Rise courses?
Hallo there,
we are a team of 3 articulate 360 subscriptions and are trying to figure out how to customize the url of the Rise content we have created.
It would be great to be able to share it as a customized url such as myexample.rise.articulate.com
Where can we change these settings?
Thank you in advance for your reply!
Marco
Great question, Marco! We currently do not offer a settings option where users can customize the URL of their Rise content, but I can see the use case for this and will relay this to our product team!
There are some workarounds, though!
- You can use a custom URL shortener to create short links that are branded to how you see fit.
- If you or your client has a website, you can export your Rise course for web. You can change the name of the downloaded contents folder that you'll upload to the web server. More on this here.
We love hearing new feature requests, so please feel free to drop us a line here or via a case if there is anything else you'd like to see on Rise or any of our other products!
Hi Katie, is this feature any closer?
Hi there, Allen. Creating a custom Share URL isn't on our immediate roadmap, but we're continuing to track this request!
The Share URL is not a long-term hosting solution since a shared course doesn’t track your learners’ progress. When they leave and come back, they have to start all over.
We recommend you export your course to an LMS or a permanent web host for the best learner experience. And you'll have more control over your domain naming!
Hi there,
Just wondering if any development has happened in this space? It would be great to put our company name in the URL when we are sharing direct from Rise.
I understand there is the SCORM and web host options, is sharing direct from within Rise not the preferred method, or the purpose of this function? - as I have noted it says to preview the course, although it is handy to share content directly from there too.
Many thanks :)
Hi there, Paul. Are you currently using another hosting provider? It may be worth checking out Rise.com if you love authoring content in Rise and could benefit from one place to host your training and manager learners' access. You can create a unique subdomain, or mask your Rise site with a custom domain.
If you have questions about Rise.com, start a chat on that page and the Rise team will be happy to help!
I would love to be able to do change the preview link as well. We are are a large team that all work mainly in Rise (but also storyline) and share the links with an even larger team. Due to the set up of our (multinational) company, putting on an LMS can prolong time frames and sharing links is often the quickest option for our FMCG business. It can be confusing for the learner if multiple links are received and not easily identifiable. I would love to be able to customise preview links!
A ex-colleague of mine has done this. The link that the learner can see is http://(company name).(course name) but the actual link is the standard https://rise.articulate.com/share/sdfsfsdfsdfsdf etc.
HOW?Hi Miranda,
It's possible they embedded the course on their web site as you can't mask the Rise 360 share link as a private domain with a direct course name.
If your colleague is not using an embedded course and they are masking with a custom domain, they might be using Rise.com. You can create a unique subdomain, or mask your Rise site with a custom domain.If you have questions about Rise.com, start a chat on that page and the Rise team will be happy to help!
Is there any update on this? Being able to change and update links (similar to a function in survey monkey) would be helpful for our agency.
Hi Cameron. We don't have any updates to share yet, but we will post them here once we do.
Just jumping on board to upvote the ability to customize links once again! I would love to see it on your roadmap in the future and I know several others feel the same!
I would love to be able to customize the share link for a course in Rise to include the course name rather than a string of characters.I too would love to be able to customize a share link from Rise. Are there any updates on this functionality?
Please let us know if there are any updates on this :)
Looking for this feature too!
Hi Karen,
There isn't a free way to have a custom URL in Rise 360, but if you're willing to purchase your own domain or use a custom subdomain, you can follow this article on how you can customize your URL by publishing your Rise 360 course to Reach 360:
Let me know if you have any questions!
I also vote for customizing URLs this feels like a no brainer Articulate.
