RISE - Publish to Sharepoint 365/Web
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 brow...
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
- Publish course as Web.
- Either download the zip file or save it locally from the email notification.
- VERY IMPORTANT: Once the zip is local, right-click the zip file and select Properties.
- Under Security, click the UNBLOCK checkbox (make sure you do this before extracting).
- Update 22-Feb-2022: These two bullets may vary. Recently, there has been no Unblock checkbox in Properties for me, but remaining steps work.
- Click OK.
- Extract the file.
- Go into the content folder (when I extract files, Articulate has my actual course files at another level called content).
- Make a copy of the index.html file.
- Right click the index - Copy.html , and rename it to index.aspx (you'll be asked if you're sure - yes!).
-
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.
- Now, upload either the content folder (that holds the course files) or the course files directly to a SharePoint Online site.
- Once the course files are loaded, click the index.aspx file to launch.
For Storyline web-publish, and I assume Presenter/Studio web-publish (I haven't tested):
- Remove the analytics-frame.html from the published folder content
- Make a copy/rename story.html to story.aspx.
- Upload to SPO and use story.aspx to launch.
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.

Trish, in addition to being the SITE OWNER of the site, the site needs to have custom script enabled. When my SharePoint admin team did that on our site, I was able to get this to work!
The issue I have now is that I want to share the SharePoint link to the index.asp file in email or a PDF but when you click the link in the email or pdf, it asks if you want to open or download the file. If you click Open it properly launches the content. I wish it would just launch automatically. Any ideas?
Thanks Trish. Does it matter where in Sharepoint you save the file? ie. a document library or site assets or other?
It just downloads the aspx file when I try it - I set up a new doc library folder in the main 'Documents' doc library
Hello! I am still having issues with these instructions.
I followed the steps, renamed a .html to .aspx, and uploaded the files on my SharePoint site. But when I attempted to open the .aspx file, it wanted me to download it rather than opening it in the browser like all the other .aspx files. I have all the required permissions.
Good afternoon. Is a step missing after #10? I successfully completed each step except once you launch the .aspx file, it does just that- launch (it asks how to open it, I choose Notepad but I suppose I could choose something else). What do you do after that to embed into a SharePoint site? Do you just copy paste the entire code and paste into the embed link window on the site section? Thanks for any further insight!
Does this change by Microsoft affect loading the .aspx file? I can't get it to work following these steps. It wants to download the file instead of opening.
