Saving Rise Source Files to Local Hard Drive
Hi
Currently it does not seem possible to save the Rise source files to one's local machine. As we plan do develop some modules in Rise for clients, we would need to send them the source files if ...
I wonder - for the clients that don't have a Rise subscription, but want a copy of the source files, do they know they won't be able to edit it? Or I missing the mark on what you'd like to see? That insight will help me capture your idea to share with our team!
The main point for Articulate to note is that if at the scoping stage a client requests that they receive copies of the source files, and it's a 'must-have', e-learning professionals won't be able to recommend Rise as the authoring tool, no matter how much they might want to.
It goes without saying that without a subscription a client won't be able to edit the Rise source files, and I don't think that is a problem. By obtaining the source files a client is empowered to do with their content as they like. They can purchase a subscription to edit the files, they can come back to the original vendor, or they can choose another vendor.
To pick up on Shellisa's comment about compliance/legal content needing to go through a review/be stored somewhere. I think this is a separate thing as it can't be expected that the actual source files be made available to open in a third-party application. However, it would be nice to see an export to Word feature similar to that in Storyline.
