Hi Karl, 

Can you explain this more as from my experience if I duplicate the course and create a new version the Course Title would need to be updated. How do you get around that?

    Hi Ashley,

    As Rise does not have any version control functions, we do all our course version control outside of Rise.

    All of our master course content resides in Word documents. Any course updates and versioning happens in version controlled copies of the Word docs. Word has many tools to assist in detailed version tracking.

    The Word doc is always the master, not the Rise course.

    High level version control, who made the change, current version date, etc. is summarized in an Excel file. This summary info (date of last update) appears in the course information section. Each date the course was updated appears in the Rise course. If you want more info, look at the Excel tracking file, that will direct you to the Word master.

    We have a single version of each course in Rise that is updated to match the master Word doc.
