Team capabilities in Articulate Review?
Hi all
Just wondering if this is in the works, and will be possible anytime soon...and if anyone else out there shares the same desire to see these features?
The Articulate 360 Teams concept makes lots of sense, and Articulate Review is a terrific step forward in simplifying the project development process...now it would be great if you could marry the two together, and extend the team account concept/capability to Articulate Review.
The Teams idea is predicated on the idea that multiple folks may be involved on particular projects, and as such, quick & convenient access to all review comments by relevant team members is major convenience . With this in mind, I love to see the following:
- As part of the process of posting a project for review, we should be able to select other team members who will then have immediate access (instead of having to email a link to each person, in addition to the client).
- Any team member associated with the project should receive the emails indicating new comments posted to Review for that project. This prevents the current potential for bottlenecks on a project, whereby the account owner is the only one to receive these update emails. If they are away (or miss the email)progress can easily come to a halt, as other team members are unaware that new comments are posted, unless they are continuously checking.
- Also, as I've seen posted here previously, the ability to organize projects in Review into folders would be a Godsend. With numerous projects, each involving potentially dozens of modules, the site gets enormously cluttered. Scrolling thru all of the projects can be brutal, as there is currently no means to sort these projects (which would also be a nice feature...sort by date, alphabetically, etc.)
- Lastly, as I mentioned this in a previous post, the ability to archive projects would also greatly improve the organizational aspect of the site, enabling us to keep the site cleaned up, without have to completely delete projects that we may need to refer to later.
Thanks for a great product, and continuously looking to improve...hopefully these suggestions are helpful.
Cheers, Dave
Hi, everyone!
I have some great news to share!
We’ve just released an update for Review 360 which includes cool new features:
New: Create shared team folders in Review 360 to organize your content, assign permissions, and invite collaborators. You can even allow multiple authors to publish new versions of a course to the same Review 360 project.
And because Review 360 is a web app, there's nothing to install! New features and fixes are available immediately.
Please let us know if you have any questions by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.
Have a great day!
What is that? How does it work?
It's a subscription service with different levels of cost depending on how many courses you would have being reviewed at one time. You upload the scorm package (which is publish to LMS in Storyline), or you can link to the course on your server!
You send an invite to reviewers, and they set up a profile, then any courses you want them to review will show up when the log in. (no need to send multiple links, although you can!)
When you're viewing the course page, you can see all the feedback in a list, and each comment has a "view slide" button. Also you can set the status to Pending, Declined, or Complete. It's just a much better tool than Review is.
Also - a single course is free, so you can try it out or even keep using it for free if you only have one course in review at a time.
Hi All,
As referenced last week, I met with members of our product team to share the challenges you're facing with managing team content, as well as the solutions you've proposed.
Prior to the meeting, better support for team content management was already stapled onto the 2021 roadmap. However, after sharing the passionate replies posted here and performing a thorough review of the 3,800+ feature requests submitted this year, I was able to upgrade its position on the public roadmap.
We’re assessing the timeline of this feature as our development and design teams dig in, and we’ll share an updated ETA as we have it.
That said, you will see a new related item showing up on the roadmap soon.
Hi Bret. When you say you are assessing the timeline of "this feature", to which feature are you referring? Articulate Review needs many features added, all of which are in my original post. Teams doesn't appeal to me at all if Review is not updated.
Hi Shannon,
Bret is referring to the "team content management" as noted below:
What that looks like exactly is in the planning phases and as we have more details on features and timing, we'll keep folks posted!
Bret & Ashley
As the originator of this thread (back in mid-2018) I also want to stress that my original post regarded the shortcomings of Review...and how, if you have a Team license, how Review should be improved to address the common-sense necessities.
I'm not sure if by "Team Content Management" you're also including the Review shortcomings. Can you please clarify?
Also, while I'm glad to hear the issue has be expedited so some extent, learning that it was on the roadmap for some point in 2021 only calls attention to the stunning lack of responsiveness to vital issues. As I mentioned, I began this thread well over 2 years ago. So it takes 3 years to address incredibly necessary & glaring issues with your software? Wow.
I understand I'm sounding like a broken record, but please understand the frustration when we're billed every year for a product that BARELY improves. To prove this point, here is the list of ALL the improvements to Review 360 & Teams over the last couple years- this is taken directly from your Version History page...
Review360 Changes since Nov2018:
January 2019: Changed name from "Articulate Review" to "Review360."
Jan2019 - June2020: No changes listed
June2020: Added accessibility enhancements, refined the search filtering feature
August2020: Added variable video speed & picture-in-picture capability
Teams Improvements since May2019:
May2019 - March2020: No changes listed
March2020: Invitations to join teams now expires after 90 days if not used
May2020: Added search field to find users/groups
July2020: Added ability to download list of your users
Does this seem like the kind of support that warrants sizable renewal fees every year?
Your thoughts?Bret, I would welcome the opportunity to be involved with this. Is there a way - besides posting here - to discuss these issues in more detail and collaborate in some way, to contribute to the design of the solutions?
Hi All. Thanks for sharing!
I agree, as well. These would all be valuable additions to Review, and each one has a place on the list I monitor of Review 360 feature requests submitted by your fellow community members.
While we design and build out features, we often add related features to the project in the hope of delivering a more comprehensive product in the end. So, some of your ideas may fall in line with one of the high-level features that I outlined previously. I truly hope they do.
Thanks again for your enthusiasm and willingness to help. I'll let you know when we have something additional (and exciting) to share.Thank you, Michael. You've stated exactly what we users are frustrated over.
I really do appreciate all the improvements made to Review. Clearly you were listening to user feedback. But we're still waiting for some sort of Team Review site where we can see all projects posted by team members. How is that coming along?
Hi Linda,
We're still tracking this feature request and this conversation is linked so that we can share updates with you here.
Hello again everyone,
Stepping in to share an update to increase the transparency of the developments regarding the upcoming enhancements to Articulate Review which should solve some of the problems related to sharing and folder management.
As this enhancement gets closer to completion we are now able to estimate a target release date for it generally in Q2 of this year.I can assure everyone that the development team is working and has been working hard on this. It has been even more challenging last couple of years and we appreciate the patience that everyone has exercised throughout these trying times.
All the best,
Mike Marcos
