Saving Rise Source Files to Local Hard Drive
I don't think anyone here is requesting offline editing. What we're asking for is CONTROL of our own intellectual property, so that it can be passed along to clients or to our successors if we move on. I have a repository (on our own servers, with our own security) of all of my authored content. When I move on, someone else will gain access to that repository.
No one here is asking for the keys to the kingdom. We're asking for a source file that WE can store locally, so that WE are responsible for its security, so that WE always know where to find it and can send it on to a client at the end of a contract or can pass it to our successor in a way that WE think makes sense. If that file then has to be edited in the cloud with a valid Rise 360 subscription, that's fine - it's no different than my successor having to buy the software used to create any other initial file. But not to allow us to control our own intellectual property is clearly a problem for a lot of us, and will result in us not utilizing Rise 360 (however useful a product it may be).
I want to store all of my content in ONE place, so no one has to wonder where it is. ALL OF IT. And I want my security people to control who sees it, and who can edit it. How it gets edited depends on the type of file - and a Rise 360 file which is only editable with a valid subscription is absolutely fine with me.

Yes, Robbi explains the need for this perfectly. Please add an option to download source files ASAP.

Well said. Currently Rise is the ONLY tool we are currently using that does not allow us to back up source files to our asset management server, it's problematic. If you can publish to Review or send a copy to another account, than you should be able to download a source file or zip version thereof.
On a side note, subfolders will also be super helpful, considering the number of translations that need to take place these days.

Omigosh, SO MUCH YES to subfolders! Because of my previously mysteriously-disappeared content, I'm keeping two copies of everything my team creates so we always have a backup. My Rise 360 account looks like a library hit by a tornado. It takes me ages to find my own content, because I'm a co-manager of everything authored by my team PLUS I'm keeping all the backups. Yikes. :(

Great response. Agreed.
