We've shipped another much-requested feature for Rise. You can now easily send a copy of your course to another Rise author. It's a great feature when you need to share a source file with a client or colleague. Here's a Peek vid on the feature: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/c7e701a4-0a54-41cd-a6dd-e985b0ead7c9/review Keep in mind that both parties will have an independent copy of the same project. Changes you make to the course won't appear in the other author's version, and vice versa. Soon we will be releasing the Collaborators feature which will allow multiple authors to work on the same course. Enjoy!

I'm really glad to have this feature added! I just used it yesterday for the first time; I needed to copy four courses from an old team ID of mine to my go-forward team ID. Two courses were original files, and the other two were duplicates (created in Rise) of the originals. The file copies received by my destination ID were similar to those created by my source ID, but there were some oddities. None of them were major for me to deal with, but they could have been significant if I was transferring the files to, say, a company that contracted me to do the work for them - the files wouldn't match what I built. See the attached PDF for screenshots. Pages 1 and 2: The two original course files don't show their cover photos in the thumbnail view of my destination ID, but the cover photos do display properly when being previewed (or viewed as a user). The duplicates of the course files didn't have this problem. Pages 3 and 5: The original course files were set to "Author Hidden" but the author isn't hidden for the copies received by my destination ID. Pages 4 and 5: The original course files had custom labels applied but the copies received by my destination ID didn't retain those customizations. I also discovered I couldn't use the Copy feature more than once for the same file to be sent to my destination ID. I accidentally deleted one of the received files in my destination ID. When I tried to Copy it again from my source ID, the normal pop-up message displayed to say the copy had been sent but my destination ID hasn't received a new email notification and a new Copy hasn't appeared in my destination ID's Rise workspace. Fortunately, I had also sent my duplicate copy of the file so I was able to work from that! Keep up the great progress with Rise!

Oh, and the other annoying thing is that it auto adds the new author to the course even when the first course was hidden.

Hi Ian, Thanks for sharing those examples with us here! I'd like to get a Support case started for you so that you could share a copy of one of these courses with our team and so that we could gather more information about the two Articulate IDs in question. Keep an eye out for an email from Support@articulate.com!

Hi Silvia! I answered you over here in this discussion, so I'm just linking the two. To recap: The hidden author setting for the course will not carry over when you send a copy to another user. Because the copy becomes a new course on that dashboard, the author information is new. The recipient should be able to change the author setting on their copy. Custom label sets are unique to your Rise account, and they will not transfer over with a copied course. You can export label sets, however, and send them to the recipient of the copied course! Also, Steve you mentioned that links are removed from buttons. Are you using the interactive button stack? Are the links going to URLs or directly to lessons in the course? We tested a few scenarios, and the links were still working in the copied course. Thanks for the feedback, and let me know how you're making out!

Hi all, We released some new collaboration features to Rise today: Rise: Working on a Course with Other Team Members Rise: Publishing A Course to Articulate Review You can access all the Articulate 360 and Rise tutorials from this page. Today's update to Articulate 360 included a few other important fixes and new features that you'll see in the release notes here. Let us know if you need anything else!

I am reviewing a course right now in Rise, how do I make comments regarding the course? I don't see the same review process as 360.

Hey, Scott!

You can copy lessons within a course by clicking the ellipses next to Edit Content, then select Duplicate.

You also have the option to duplicate a course as a whole. For example, if you need to use Lessons 1, 3, and 4 from Course A to start Course B, you can duplicate Course A and then remove the lessons you don’t need.

It sounds like the ability to copy a lesson from one course to another would really benefit you. We're always looking for ways to improve Rise, and I'd be glad to pass that idea along to the team! You can keep up with all the new features and releases right here.

  Alyssa,
  
  Thanks for the feedback!
  
  I did already know about the copy within a lesson and copying the whole course and then deleting, but thanks for pointing those out.
  
  I am really liking RISE!
  
  As my company builds training for many groups the ability to copy lessons and paste in another course would be a great tool for us.
  
  Thanks again,

Any idea when the Collaborators feature will be ready?

Great feature, but we're running into an issue that whenever we share a course it eliminates the links on any buttons.

We have a lesson (task) that has links to the 3 sub-task lessons. When we share the course, the links are all removed.

Anyone else?

Hi Silvia,

I saw Crystal just responded to your other post here, so I wanted to link the two.

Yes, I found the same issue with the "hide author" option toggling back on in the copy. I am making a branded version for members of my team to be able to create their own content easily. For now I can tell them to turn off the author, and check the labels (thanks Silvia for mentioning the custom button text.)
