Set a Generic Author in Rise

New to using Rise and stretching my knowledge base...

We have a Rise course that we are developing as a collaboration in our team. Currently we have the "author" hidden, but we are wondering if we can set a "generic" author (our group name) in that field, since it's group effort and not one for which we want to assign single authorship.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

    Hello JHauglie,

    Thanks for sharing this, and welcome to Rise! That’s a great question, and it’s a situation a lot of collaborative teams run into.

    At the moment, Rise doesn’t offer a way to set a custom or generic author name. The author field is tied to an individual Articulate account, so it can either display that person’s name or be hidden entirely. I can understand why neither option feels ideal when a course is truly a team effort.

    I’ve shared your suggestion with our product team so they can consider adding more flexibility around author attribution in Rise, especially for collaborative workflows like yours.
