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.
Hi!
Great question. Rise updates in real time, so changes you make are saved immediately. We don't have a versioning system in Rise but it's something our team has talked about as a new feature. It's not on our roadmap yet, but I'll share this discussion with our Product team as we track forum discussions and submitted feature requests to help determine priority!
Please make this a priority my author decided they did not like the changes they made and want me to revert back!
This is very unfortunate.
When will this function be available, it is kind of essential as a course developer to be able to recover accidental changes, I don't consider this as optional and is certainly available in many other software packages, and may necessitate a move to another software provider if not coming soon. Can you advise what is happening with this feature please so we factor into our renewal decisions.
thanks
Hi Colette;
Here is a list of things currently being added to Rise: (or planned)

I would also like to vote for a versioning system in Rise! My team loves using it, but have run into some situations where they've accidentally lost content through copy and paste errors. Thanks for your consideration!
Thanks for the feedback, Nathan! We logged a feature request for this, so I'll add your voice to that.
Allison - Do you have any updates on a versioning feature request? This is something my team feels would be very beneficial.
Hi all! I would like to "vote" for adding this feature to your roadmap as well.
Make a copy of your course before making any major edits.
Too late :D But I will definitely do it from now on, thanks for the advice.
Agreed - would be very useful to be able to restore a previous version. has this request made it to the prioritization list yet?
Hi Amy. It isn't on our immediate roadmap right now. We'll let you know if that changes.
My team enjoys using Rise and would like to see a versioning system in place to help prevent the accidental loss of content and to track the developmental process. I see that this has been discussed for almost two years, so I'd like to add my voice, as well. Thank you for your consideration!
Adding my vote for this feature as well. From a compliance standpoint, we may be asked to pull a certain version of the course that an employee took and right now that is not possible unless you create a new version of the course every time you make even minor tweaks.
Hi there, Nicole. Do you host your courses on your own web server or LMS? If so, you could keep the exported packages that you upload to your hosting platform as an archive of versions for compliance. They won't be editable, but they'll give you a snapshot in time of each version.
I hope that helps!
Thanks Crystal! That's definitely an option and is what we are currently doing but would be great to have this feature built right into Rise.
Is it at least possible to have an efficient undo button, or a notification confirming that we really want to delete content?
Adding my vote as there have been a few times we've made changes and forgot to create a copy, when we needed the old version as well!
Adding my vote too! I accidentally deleted some content that took hours to create and would love a way to retrieve it.
