Rise Source File - downloadable yet?
Interesting question. Because Rise is cloud-based, I imagine this is not as practical as it is for a program or slide-based authoring tool, like Storyline. You can always send a copy of a file to someone, or transfer ownership to your customers if they also have a Teams Account. If they do not use Rise or have an account, the files will not mean much to them anyway.
I recommend contacting support or submitting a feature request to create an official record of this need.
I'm curious when you say send a copy of a file. Can you do that if they don't have a subscription? With storyline I can send a .story to someone even if they don't have Storyline. They can give that to someone who does, and they can make changes. With Rise the only thing I have found is Share and Collaborate but the person has to have Rise and there is only a link and nothing that compares to a .story.
Hi MikeMohr! The person receiving the copy of the Rise 360 course would need to have a subscription in order to view it. And similar to .story files, they would need an active subscription in order to make any modifications.
It isn't a functionality we are currently looking into because there isn't a way to import a Rise 360 course into a current or brand new Rise 360 course, which would need to be added in order to offer the ability to download a file. Also, we found that most users are sharing courses between their teammates and other users who already have a 360 Teams subscription. I appreciate you sharing this detailed request because I haven't seen a ton of users need to download a source file for a later date.
Either way, I'm going to update our Product Team so they can track this request!
LaurenDuvall​: For what it's worth, here's my input on this topic:
I think there should be a way to export a Rise course to a file that could stored in a company's desired location (e.g., on a local drive, in OneDrive, etc.) and then later be imported by anyone with a Rise account.
- As noted in the original post, that would allow a contractor to give the source file to a client. Even if the client didn't have a Rise account, if needed, they could transfer the file to a different vendor to make updates.
- It would also allow someone to save their work even if they had to let their subscription lapse for >6 months.
- And here's one more vital reason that's been mentioned in multiple discussions here and on other social media platforms: this functionality would allow companies to transfer a Rise course between the US data center and the EU data center (using the same method they use to transfer .story files).
I think folks would accept that the ".rise" file would be encrypted so that it could only be imported into Rise. But it would still be incredibly useful for all of the uses listed in this discussion.
