Source Files
For professional content development it seems that with your current model, Rise is not an option that can be used in most enterprise or even academic scenarios.
Apart from obvious legal or regulatory reasons that may require keeping source files offline, there is also the issue of the ability to edit something that you have “archived” at a later time.
Example: a client requests development of courses. Courses are created and delivered in the desired published format. In most scenarios the client requests-expects the source files to archive. The developer also keeps a backup for any future updates – changes (educational content is not a static thing...).
Then a year later the need arises to edit one of the courses. Unless there exists somehow the option to “upload” these source files to the editing environment in order to work with them, any “archiving option” is useless.
It seems that now, Rise “source files” are required to exist only within the active subscription. Even assuming that the developer maintains an active subscription every year (regardless of actual demand for work) it is not realistic to expect the client to also keep an active subscription just for storing the “source files” for a project.
In reality, this has stopped us dead for proposing Rise as a development option in a lot of cases that it would otherwise really make sense.
Hi Simeon,
Since Rise 360 is a web app and there's no way to edit sources files on the desktop, we don't have any plans to allow you to export the source files. I'm sorry to hear that that's a dealbreaker for you.
If there’s anything else I can do to help, please let me know.

I work for a Fortune 500 company, and I completely agree with Simeon’s comments. We cannot use Rise because we have to keep all source files in one location.
It’s disappointing to read your response, and I’d strongly ask you to reconsider this need.
