I have managed to publish as web course, however in IE and EDGE browsers clicking the index.html does nothing. I can get the course to open in Chrome however, so it is working just not on those browser. Is this normal?
Secondly, the goal is to publish the web course on SharePoint, however this wants to treat the index.html as a .PDF. Has anyone successfully got a course launching in SharePoint 365?
I have been beating my head against the wall to make Rise web-publish work on SharePoint online. Not sure if this is due to Windows or Enterprise security, but what worked for me was the following:
Rise web-published courses
Update 22-Feb-2022: Make sure you are SITE OWNER on the SharePoint site where you will be loading the course files.
Update 14-Sep-2023: Make sure you have FULL CONTROL provisions on the SharePoint site where you will be loading the course files. The index file will NOT launch properly if uploaded with any other access level.
For Storyline web-publish, and I assume Presenter/Studio web-publish (I haven't tested):
Hope this helps someone!

Hi Trish, thank you very much for taking the time to share your findings. Awesome work!
Hi T.
Worked like a charm. I didn't have to do the unblock which is probably specific to your security settings on your companies. Thanks for posting. FYI, I had something similar with Camtasia recordings on SP which fix was same, except you had to add a little java, so was expecting this to have another step. Thankfully worked fine.
Thanks, Barb
Hi Trish,
I tried to reproduce your solution.
But I have to admit that I already get stuck in step 4 where I cant find the tick box. Not sure if I need it, because I was able to save the copy as .aspx.
However, when I then have it on Sharepoint, all that happens when I click it, is that the file is getting downloaded, and not launching the course in a new browser tab. So I am doing something wrong …..
Sorry I didn't see this until now Carla. You are correct about the tick box. It varies and I also have not seen this in recent months, so this could be related to our specific security and environment as Barbara mentions in her post.
An additional step that I require now is to be a SITE OWNER of the SharePoint site where I am loading the files. Otherwise, it just tries to download the launch file. Hope this helps.

I have the same problem. But when i click the index.html, it just download it instead of displaying the content. Some of the solutions i google said that I should change the extension from .html to .aspx, but still it doesn't work. Can someone help with this?
Hi Craig!
Sorry to hear that you’ve hit a roadblock here.
The reason you're not able to play your course locally in Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge is because those browsers block local playback of Rise courses (unlike Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari). That's why you're just seeing a blank page in these browsers. To use Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge, you'll need to upload your course to a web server. Here's an article that talks about how to do that.
It's my understanding that SharePoint Online (the Microsoft Office 365 Hosted Edition) won't play HTML files. As a result, SharePoint Online can't host published Rise content, which includes HTML files.
You should be able to upload Rise content to a SharePoint Server you host, and you'll want to check with your SharePoint administrator for instructions on how to host HTML content. Depending on your version of SharePoint, you may need to switch to explorer view before uploading content, or you may need to check in content after uploading it. Your administrator will know for sure.
If you need to track learners' progress and results, publish your Rise content for LMS and use SharePoint's free Learning Kit.
I hope that helps! :) Let me know if you have any other questions.
One of the primary reasons our organization chose RISE over other rapid development tools was the ability to take a Rise URL (share) link and add it to our SharePoint site for our internal and external staff to access onboarding/orientation training well ahead of when our LMS allows them in.
Now that Articulate is disbanding our ability to use the Rise URL (share) links - AND hasn't developed a publishing option for posting to SharePoint - what are we supposed to do?
There are a LOT of organizations that depend on SharePoint (or Degreed or a host of other web-based platforms that are NOT SCORM or an LMS) to host (or link to) Rise materials. Is Articulate abandoning all of us because a) you can't host all of these course and b) you don't want to invest in developing a solution?
Come April 6, 2020 you will still be able to use the Rise course SHARE links.
What will stop working is if you use the share link to embed Rise 360 content on a website using an iframe.
FYI, the SharePoint Learning Kit (SLK) project was stopped, and only supported SharePoint up to 2013. It does not support 2016 or 365.
Considering you wrote your post in 2019, this was a useless suggestion for anyone asking about published Rise to SP365 - which @Craig Oliver-Walsh was.
Changing the extensions to .aspx works just fine once a couple of things are sorted.
The issue with a RISE course not working is typically these two things:
1.Permissions are set incorrectly and wont allow for .aspx files to launch - you would need a SP admin to fix this, I am not sure how to fix as magically it just worked one day after making our poor SP admins life a living hell :-)
2.All the files have not been checked in, there are tools the admins can set you up with to do large scale check-ins so you don't have to do them with each individual file.
Hi there, Diane!
Yes, you can still send people the Share link so they can view your content!
On April 6, any website which is using an iframe code that includes the Share URL of a Rise 360 course will no longer display your course.
This means if you add a Rise course to your website using this code: <iframe src="https://rise.articulate.com/share/1234567abcdef"></iframe>, it will stop working on that date.
However, it doesn't sound like you're using an iframe like the one above, so you're in the clear!
We're happy to help with any questions or concerns. Just post them here or reach out to us directly.
Hi Alyssa,
What determines whether a course is added with 'iframe' or not? And what exactly is happening on April 6?
Hi there, Joe!
You would have added the Rise Share URL to an iframe yourself. Some people use an iframe to display a Rise 360 course on their website, for example.
If you add added a Rise 360 course to your website using a code like this: <iframe src="https://rise.articulate.com/share/1234567abcdef"></iframe>, it will stop working on April 6th.
If you don't think you've ever used an iframe code like that, then this change won't affect your courses at all!
Let me know if you have any more questions about that.
Hi there, I tried Trish workaround however it shows as a blank file when opening this in SP. Would you know why this is not correctly showing?
If I follow these steps it tries to download the aspx file instead of playing it - anyone found a solution?
Michael this 'could' be related to your permissions and/or how you uploaded the ASPX file. This is common not only to Rise, but to ASPX files on SP in general. Not sure if this will help you, but worth a try.
ASPX files should be uploaded by 'Site Owners' and not by the members or of the site. When you upload as a 'Site Owner', use the standard upload feature (not drag and drop; not copy/paste) in the document library.
One of the relevant posts I found on this: Crazy ASPX page behavior in Sharepoint Online document library , getting downloaded - Microsoft Community Hub
Thanks Allison,
I figured I might have to store it externally, just adds an extra layer of admin I was trying to avoid.
I totally get that. I'm sorry that we don't have an easy solution for you here. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.
The FTP guide is a big help to make sure things will work. Thanks for your help.
You're welcome. :)
