Saving Rise Source Files to Local Hard Drive

What Robbi said!

Pretty much every EU based big company and/or organization is no-go for Rise at the moment.

We have either outright lost opportunities to Adapt Framework - authoring tool (when an RFP requests cloud-based browser authoring but also specifically requests source files) or we simply don't use Rise - where it would make perfect sense to - because we can't deliver the source files.

And no, asking a client to buy a 360 subscription for storage is not a viable option...

This is seriously holding back an EXCELLENT product!

Have you considered the possibility to transfer ownership of a Rise "project" to an Articulate ID holder that does not have a 360 subscription? That could mitigate the issue, it would not get around legal issues of big EU entities, but it would cover most other cases I think.

The ArticulateID holder would still need a valid subscription to edit the course but would be able to receive and "own" the "source file".

Unfortunately this request has been ignored for 3 years. A reply 2 years ago from my post sounded almost promising: "Saving the source files is still on our radar and this thread is included in the report."
It looks unlikely it'll ever get realised, unless the radar is a really big one ;)
Yes, it's a great tool, but what a shame we haven't seen progress here.

Hi,

As I am new to rise, I saved the file to my local drive. Now I am unable to get it back onto the rise platform. Please can you help me move the file back onto Rise.

Thanks

Hi Purshotan! Rise 360 course editing is fully web-based, so there isn't a way to upload a published output file back into Rise 360 for editing.

Do you still have this course on your Rise 360 dashboard, or is it in your Deleted courses folder? 

I nave managed to locate it after I select edit course. Is it normal to be like this?

So the zip files with the SCORM package are useless- it is not a native file that we can save and upload for edits later?  Can we transfer the Rise course to someone else who has Rise (the client?)? My client wants the ability to make simple changes on their own. 

Hello,

Sorry I am completely new to Rise.  I manage our LMS and I have someone who created a Rise course.  Normally when we have a course I have to put our specific player on the course. for some standardization.  Reading history on this forum I see that we cannot have a file given to me 1) to store all resource files in our own library; and 2) I can't get a file to put our player on it.

Looking at options for Rise I can only export it as web, scorm or pdf.

Is my understanding correct? 

Sorry...but as I said, I am new to Rise.

Thank you

Hi Phyllis, 

Rise is an online tool, and you need to be logged in on the website to edit and publish your courses.  There isn't a way to download a copy of your course for saving on your drive. You're right, you can export your Rise courses in the following format:

• LMS (SCORM) Package
• Web-Only Output
• PDF File

Are you looking to host your published course on a website or LMS? What sort of player do you need to add to your course?

Hi Lea,

Thank you for responding.  I am the LMS administrator and another associate created the course.  I am trying to maintain an overall catalog of all the course asset files.  It seems Rise does not allow me this opportunity.  We have had in the past where people leave and the course assets are no longer accessible or no one can find the most recent version. 

Thank you again :) 

5 years ago, this was 'on the roadmap' but for some reason it is no longer. Articulate seems to be missing the point of the request - and on purpose. I see continued comments from staff about not really understanding the purpose of the request and offering non-work-arounds - this is disingenuous. It's strong-arm strategy for sales.

My clients need the source files - not the web or the pdf version, or the media files but the actual source copy that they could upload to Rise for editing after a buying a subscription. They need the security of knowing that if they become unhappy with my services, I can't hold their courses hostage because I'm the only one with access to the material through my Articulate account. They need ownership and control of their intellectual property.

I need the source files - for archiving offline in case you somehow lose the data on your servers. As a professional it's irresponsible for me to not have some sort of redundancy built in for my data and content, but your platform prevents me from fulfilling this basic responsibility.
