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.

I would like to add my vote for a versioning system. In the meantime, how about an optional prompt you can choose to turn on "Are you sure you want to delete this block?"
Please add a vote for version control for us as well. We sometimes need to go back to previous versions and currently there is no way. Jennifer's suggestion of being able to create subfolders is much needed as well.
Thanks!
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 not words,

We definitely need this too.
What if Rise suddenly erases edits and brings back an old version of your course?!!! I've lost a day's worth of work!
We've had this happened quite a few times too - have lost hours / days of work. It's really frustrating when this happens.
Hi everyone,
I can't express how useful it would be to be able to see previous versions, where changes are highlighted and where roll-back would be possible.It would be a brilliant functionality - much like the version change history in Google Docs.
I would like to add my vote for a versioning system. We really need this!
Any update on the version control? I've just learned the hard way?
I just lost about 2 hours of work by clicking a wrong button. I too would very much like to vote for version control!
I would like to vote for versioning to from our company as well, Consortium Beroepsonderwijs.
