Restore Rise course from version history in Review

Hi Learn.TMW!  I think you have a great idea.  Currently, Review will show you previous versions, but it won't recycle them back into Rise.  Depending on the content, you should be able to copy text and even save images from the Review interface.

I'll pass this along to our team; keep your good ideas flowing here!

Thank you Crystal, let me know if you put this on the roadmap. Desktop source files can be managed via SVN. But with Rise - we can't subversion. It would be great if that could be done in the cloud! (Basically your servers, because data doesn't live in the air... only on servers ;P)

I second this suggestion.

This would be very helpful. I know I and my colleagues struggle with the lack of an Undo feature for formatting and such.

Thanks for chiming in, Elizabeth!

Command + Z (Mac) and Control + Z (Windows) will undo text edits and text formatting, but it will not bring back a deleted block. 

If you delete a block, you'll see an Undo button at the bottom of the screen for several seconds. If you no longer see that button, you'll want to recreate the block again. 

Versioning ability would be a great addition, I would love to see this become an available feature!

Hi All! Thanks for letting us know you're interested in having a version control feature. We're tracking requests for this, and we'll let you know if we make any changes that help!

Let me add my name to the list of requestors. It's inevitable that topics are developed, changed after consultation -- and then the SME decides that after all, they prefer the previous version. Yes, please implement more version control, possibly at the block level. It may be necessary to revert to a previous version for an entire course, but if you could swap individual blocks back to previous versions, that will sometimes "fit the bill" also.

I agree. I would like to see the revert as well. Or have it so you can see a history of all changes and revert the changes you want.

I'm so disappointed [tears]. Articulate you should be embarrassed [beet red]. 3 years and you don't have version control in the Rise platform [OMG].

Here's our sad story [sniff]. We were breaking up a course into smaller RISE courses but did not back up the larger course before beginning. Mistakes happen. Thankfully, I recently published it so we can recreate it [sigh].

Articulate: Please model after me and admit you made a grave mistake and tell us the timeline of when version control will be available in RISE. This is the only response I want from Articulate on this matter. I‘m quite sure my head will explode if you:

• Give me the spiel of software companies don't tell what and when they are rolling out. I think we all know version control is not innovative. So, no need to be secretive here. Most new users probably think it is already a feature because it is such a basic need [hopefully I’m preventing someone else’s mistake].
• Ask me to put this fundamental feature as a “suggestion” to your developers. Again 3 years and counting. This response insults me and I bet other users of your product. And it should be embarrassing to your company [tick tock].
• I appreciate the position that articulate staff moderating this community are in. But really, don't make them write a "cheery-thank you for the suggestion nonresponsive post" to me. It is mean to your staff and I feel like I'm "blaming the messenger" and possibly ruining their day.

We made this same mistake about 1 year ago. (See it’s not that hard). I really hope that if/when we make this mistake again (mistakes do happen), I will have version control and the software features that people normally expect with award-winning software.

Looking for action,

Julie
