New in Rise 360: Team Folders (Beta)
Update—October 5, 2023: Find out what we've learned from your feedback and how we're improving team folders
We're thrilled to announce that the Team Folders beta is now live in Rise 360! With it comes an enhanced dashboard experience, convenient personal organization in My View, and even more ways to collaborate with your team (as well as external teams).
Updated Dashboard
The new Rise 360 dashboard sidebar organizes content into sections: My View, Personal, Team, Deleted Items, and External Connections (if you're working with external teams).
Courses you've created alone—without any collaborators—appear in the Personal section, and courses you’re building with other collaborators appear in the Team section. When you add a collaborator to a training item, it moves into the main Team section automatically. Only collaborators on the item can see it there, so don’t worry about others accessing it.
You can create folders and subfolders in each section. And now, when you move something to a folder, it's only visible in that folder!
My View
With My View, keeping track of items you're currently working on is a snap. You can add specific items for easy access and create folders in the My View section to help organize things further. Content and folders in the My View section display only for you but can contain both personal and team items.
For the launch of the Team Folders beta, we've preserved your previous All Content view in this section. All the training items and folders that were there prior to today's launch have been added for you. This way, you can easily reference your previous view. Clicking an item in My View takes you directly to it.
Update 10/5: Now, you can move the original item without having to leave My View. Just click the more icon and select Move file. Select a location or create a new folder, then click Move.
Personal and Team Folders
With Team Folders, content created in Rise 360 is added to the section or folder you're currently in. If you're in the personal section, your training appears there. If you're in the team section, it's created there.
Collaborators can now be assigned at the folder level, saving you time. When you create content in a team folder, it automatically inherits the collaborator permissions applied to that folder. This can even be everyone on your team! All you have to do is select the Share menu option for a folder or item, then select Everyone and assign them collaborator status. Note that the current editor role is the same as the previous collaborator role.
External Connections
If you work with other teams in Rise 360, you'll see new team folders for them as well in the External Connections section. The folder names might be different from what you're used to seeing. That's because Rise 360 now uses the actual name of the organization as it’s listed in account management. This is true for your team as well. An Articulate 360 admin for the external team can modify it with the Edit Organization Name option in account management.
All Rise 360 users have access to the enhanced dashboard and My View feature. If you’re an Articulate 360 Teams subscriber, you also have access to the new Team section. And if you don’t have Articulate 360 but want to try out this feature, you can start a free 30-day trial.
We're excited about the Team Folders feature because it'll allow teams to work together even more easily. And we're releasing it in beta so your feedback can guide us as we continue to develop it.

Is there a way to create a custom group that can be used for team folder permissions? I don't want everyone but I do want a small subset of everyone. I would rather not have to select the names for the various folders i have.

Hi! I'm a bit confused - the article references 'personal' but I can't see this anywhere. I have a 'private' area, but this is within my group area, just above my team folders. I'm not really sure what the 'private' folder is in this instance if it's under the team area?
Also -'shared with me' is quite confusing. It's not clear whether I'm a collaborator on those courses, or whether it's a duplicate of a course I've been sent. Any tips for working out which is which? Thanks

Hi Articulate Team,
Just checking in about the two questions I posted a few weeks back – I haven't seen a response yet and was hoping to get your input. They're pretty important for how we use Rise 360.

Hi - I'm trying to move a course from "All Content" into a single folder and the folder I want to move it to is grayed out? I'm able to move it to other folders, just not a specific one. Any thoughts on why that is?
Hi there, Zak! I tried a few different combinations, but I couldn't make this happen. Can you share with us...
- whether you're the only author on this content
- where the folder lives, in My View, Private, or Team
If you'd like, you can open a case to work with us directly!

Hi, brand new to Articulate and Rise. Stupid question, can non subscribers get access to the courses that are going to be produced by me? I have heard two people can't log in to the same account at the same time - or maybe this is two people can't work on the same course at the same time ??
Thanks Total newbie
Hi Richard!
If you are creating courses, these are the only ways that people can get access to those courses:
- You add other Articulate 360 Teams users as collaborators on your course.
- You add the course to a Team folder, automatically giving access to other people on your team who have permissions within that folder.
- You send a copy of your course to another Articulate 360 author.
- You send a preview of the course to someone using the Share link. They can't edit the course.
Each person signing into Articulate 360 should be using their own Articulate ID (email); 2 people shouldn't be sharing an email to access Articulate 360.
When collaborating, only one person can work on a lesson at time. You can work on the same course with someone else as long as you're working in different lessons! Next to each lesson, you'll see when the last person edited it, or if they're currently editing it:

Hello, I don't see the option to add to the team group. Why may that be missing for me?
Hi Christin! It sounds like you're asking about the available Groups when you're adjusting your team folders' share settings.
Currently, we just show the Everyone group, which includes every seatholder on your Articulate 360 team. We're exploring how we can expand the Groups functionality.
Would you want to create new groups as an author? Would you like to use existing Articulate 360 groups as designated by your account admins? I'd like to hear more about your use case!

Hello Crystal,
We were able to figure it out. You can't do it with the parent folder of "Team" but you must add sub-folders. Within those sub-folders you are able to add the group.
Thanks so much for getting back to me!

Hi, I've requested being able to share via account groups instead of just Everyone. Our use case is we have over 100 licenses company-wide grouped in the account by cost center. In one of the cost centers, there are about 35 licenses. It would be so much easier to be able to create a folder and share to that cost center rather than having to add the 35 licenses each time. Thanks!
