How to track edits in Rise page?
Like others upthread, I maintain a parallel version of the course in Word format. Any changes that take place in Rise are also made in the Word doc, and vice versa.
Each Rise deliverable (first draft through final product) has its own Word doc, so they are a matching pair throughout the design/development process.
Having the content in Word format makes it much easier to bake in accessibility throughout the process by using Word's formatting and accessibility features to catch and correct issues before the content goes into Rise. That includes making sure the text content is well-structured with headings, which is something that I think gets overlooked when doing "rapid development" where courses are built directly in Rise, vs. using a Word doc as the first step.
We have been using this exact process for the past five years, and it's well worth the effort.
