Sharing folder in Rise
Hi,
Is it possible for Rise users to share folders? We have a mid-sized team of developers and we would like to store final files in a shared folder structure (for maintenance and translation purposes). Is this possible?
I know you can add collaborators, but can you share folders with a specific group of people like you would share a google folder?

Please consider prioritizing this feature. It would save our team a lot of time and make the long-term maintenance of approved courses much easier.

Based on the fact that there are five items ahead of it that are currently in dev and one that's up next, that's six total items. Looking at their version history (link below) of releases I'm going to ballpark September/October for this if we're lucky. That was an optimistic, blind-folded, dart throw....
I'm just glad it's actually on the road map!

WOW. 1732 days after the first request, we finally get team folders in Rise!

Hello,
Yes, I too would like to have this feature added. Our team runs into similar issues as Ewa pointed out where a correction needs to be made in Rise and ultimately published before removing and replacing the original SCORM package in the LMS. If the individual who serves as "Owner" is out of town or ill, we are all stuck with waiting until they return to publish the changes or stop whatever they are doing to transfer ownership. This really slows things down.
I suggested to my colleagues that we create a "Service Email Account" for our team, create a new Articulate account from the "Service Email Account", give everyone access to it, copy all of our files and transfer ownership to the newly created "Service Email Account". Our concern is that Articulate would charge us for another account, as if we added another team member, even if it is not tethered to an individual. Is this a valid concern? Is it possible to please create a form of multiple ownership so we can stop playing the waiting game? This would be so helpful.
Hi Gianina,
Thanks for your feedback! Hold tight, this is a feature we're currently working on. I don't have an ETA for you but we'll let you know as soon as it's available!
Thanks for your understanding and patience.

That's great news! Awaiting more info!

I'm interested too, but in a different way. My colleague set me up as a collaborator on two courses (so he owns them). When I log in, I use a folder structure for organization. I would like to move theses two courses owned by him to one of my folders, but Rise won't let me do this.
Hi Caroline,
Thanks for your feedback! That's also a feature that others have submitted, so I'll add your voice to that discussion.

Hi Allison. Good to know. Thanks!

We would also find this feature really useful. As the number of courses grow, we would like our Teams members to be able to access that content straight away, rather than having to assign each individual.

Tagging into this thread to see updates. This is a feature we desperately need.
We have team members in a couple areas of the country collaborating on projects. We need to be able to have members from two different networks/locations able to access the same Storyline file at different times. RIght now, it looks like Google Drive is our only option. The issue is that we will have to download the file any time someone is working on it and the upload the updates. It's very easy to just hit save and forget that it's not saved to a cloud. It would be great to have a teams cloud to save to and access the files directly no matter where you are located.
Hi Brandon!
It sounds like you're looking for collaboration features in Storyline 360. Teams Slides allows you to create a library of shared slides that everyone can access right from Storyline 360. You can upload branded project templates, share slides that need to be in every course, and give teammates access to reusable slide content.
While this feature doesn't allow multiple authors to work on a single course file at one time, hopefully it will make collaboration a little easier for your team.

Thanks Alyssa! That is helpful and it will achieve some of our goals. It sounds more like Team Slides will be used by us more as like a Master Template for projects within the normal corporate scope.
What we thinking is to be able to save a stored project in a location that is created by an East Coast Team. Later the West Coast team may access this project and continue to work on the project. Not that we would want access to work at the same time on the same file, but that we would want to have a single course file that is accessible from different users within a team.
That makes sense, Brandon! As long as authors aren't working on the file at the exact same time, we recommend using this collaborative workflow.
