Return to previous versions of Rise lessons after edits have been made
Is it possible to return to an older version of a course after edits have been made? We can see the old version in Review, but what if we decided we didn't like the changes that have been made and wanted to return the Rise course to two versions ago (so that it is editable in Rise)?
Hello everyone, 🎉
I'm happy to let you know we released a new update for Rise 360! This update adds the following feature:
- Save and restore your work with a click via an easy-to-access version list that captures manual saves and export events.
There's nothing to install for web apps. New features and fixes are immediately available, though you might need to export your Rise 360 course again.
Let me know if you have any questions about this update.

Can I add my vote for the versioning function and an undo function! They would be incredibly helpful :)
Hi All,
Hope you're doing well & safe?
My team and I are experiencing a problem with some of the translations.
I understand that we could only import .xlf file for translations onto the original file that we had chosen to export the .xlf file from.
Currently, by chance, the original file that was used to import the translated .xlf file got revised and now we are unable to import any other languages.
Could someone please advise if there is a way for us to resolve this?
I tried researching on the internet; however, there doesn't seem to be much help on replacing content in .xlf file to make it compatible with a different copy of the working file.
I was hoping that we could probably be able to solve this if there was an option to revert to the previous version (as I presume there are some unique identifiers that are aligned with that version)
Thanks for your attention.

Hello!
Personally, I found that copy-pasting the contents of the Rise module to Word manually, getting that translated, and then copy-pasting the translation into a copy of the training works better than the .xlf file for this.
Some translation software, such as Trados, do not deal well with that .xlf file.
Basically, what I understand the problem to be is that translation software is pretty good at reading simple HTML files and stuff like that, but a Rise or Storyline project has very dynamic content generated through functions and stuff like that, so the contents are not as readily available as the contents of an HTML file.
Hi Alexandre,
Thanks for your suggestion...
Though, I was hoping Articulate would enable an option to revert to a chosen version or at least ease the process of converting .xlf files from different versions..
Currently, due to the limitations, we might end up with lots of rework/wait time.
Why can't it be simplified like how it's done in Storyline 360?
If I must compare Rise 360 with Storyline 360, the latter is a walk in the park kind of easy to work with while exporting/importing translation files..
Hope someone from Articulate could help us get this reviewed and implement a change that would benefit many users...
Moreover, with the current process, no matter how much control we try to implement, such problems are bound to recur..
I wonder why this problem isn't addressed in so many years...
Also, adding on, it would be great if Articulate could enable some options to set cue points/highlight the working file in a different colour to reduce recurrences of such problems...
In the current situation, we were able to recover the file (it seems the developer had deleted the working file due to a misunderstanding); however, the features, problems that I observed are very real and if it is not just me, a lot of others would benefit.....Definitely a feature that would help avoid errors with editing / deleting content. Can you tell us when this will be implemented. This thread has been ongoing for 4 years!
This is really frustrating. I constantly get emails about new features for Storyline (which I can't even use because I'm on a Mac) but you still don't have version control on your roadmap? I've read several threads now where folks are asking for this. Does your team actually take action on this feedback?
Definitely would appreciate versioning or some sort of access to the historic changes. Even undo would be good! I love this software and this is a serious flaw.
I feel sick!
I have the same issue and thought...no problem this will be easy to sort out.
Not happy this thread has gone on for so long and no action :-( That's my weekend gone!
Hi, I'd definitely like to add a vote for this feature too. I can't believe it hasn't been added yet. It would be invaluable. :)
adding my vote too
Adding a vote for version control as an updated feature. We recently had an issue where another member of our team was made a course collaborator in order to use a course as a template and essentially reworked that course into a new one without duplicating the original course. Version control would allow us to essentially recover the older versions when mistakes like this are made.
