Source Files
How do you download the source files for a course? We have a license and are using Rise.

Interested in an update from Articulate regarding the issues brought up in this thread: working with clients and using Rise by saving a source file, as well as utilizing an active subscription to re-access and edit source files. This would be extremely useful in my ability to utilize Rise as an authoring tool.

We have the same issues that everyone else has communicated. Has Articulate decided to address this or do we need to find a different solution?
Thanks.

Adding my voice to this discussion, I agree with everything that's been said here. Rise is a great product and we would love to recommend it to our clients, but the requirement for the client to get and maintain an Articulate 360 licence in order to have the ability to edit Rise modules at some point down the road is a dealbreaker. I understand that this works great for internal learning and development teams but it's a problem for contractors and agencies. Would be great to know the rationale from Articulate behind not offering an alternative despite the clear need for it.
Welcome to the community, Nancy! You came to the right place for help. 🙂
Can you tell me a bit more about what you're looking to do? Do you want to download a back-up copy of your Rise course for storage purposes? Are you trying to send a copy of a course to another Rise author?
With a few more details, I can point you in the right direction.

Hi Alyssa,
I would like to download a back-up copy.
Thanks!
Thanks for confirming that, Nancy! Because Rise is a web-authoring tool, all of the editable content will stay online. But as long as the course is owned by an active subscription holder, it will always be available to be updated!
You do have the option to download an offline copy of your course, but keep in mind you won't be able to re-upload that copy back into Rise at a later date. My teammate Ashley created a video demo here to show you how it's done.

Follow up question here on a similar topic - as the admin/team leader, would I have access to the source files that my team creates? It would be part of my job to manage the source files, and make assignments of developers, but would need to have one location where all source files are managed. Is that possible with Rise?
Hi Peggy,
Each of your teammates would need to invite you to be a Collaborator on a course, or send you a Copy of the course. You can read here about the differences between those two options.
I know a few folks have asked about more options for teams and specifically admin access, so I'll keep you posted on that here!

Hi Ashley,
we as admin need to have access all the team member work area, to manage work as well as resources.
may be you can creat a super admin for the team account to access their individual work area.
can Articulate include this feature to the team admin account users.

Hi Justin, Thanks for chiming in. I've passed along your feedback!

Say I create a RISE output with "No LMS-Web Only" option and send the zip file to a client who currently doesn't have a subscription, can the client save the file, in the future subscribe and reopen the file for editing? Is there a time limit for doing so, and does it rely on me (the course creator) keeping my subscription alive?
Thanks.

Hi KK!
Thanks for posting your question. The output/zipped files you get when you publish to Web cannot be opened and edited. You need to have a subscription to Articulate 360, be logged in, and have access to a copy of the Rise 360 course to make changes and edits. Hope this answers your question!
Have a great day :)
