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!

any update on this? We would really benefit from all team members having access to one review account
Hi Sherri,
No update at this time.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.
This conversation is linked to the report so that we can share any updates directly here. By replying, you should now be subscribed to the notifications.
Hello, I do not know if this question has been asked. I wanted to know if there is a way to share all the comments in Review between members of the same team. This so that everyone can see the comments ? For the moment, the comments seem compartmentalized.
I agree, being able to work on a team member's Rise projects is great, especially if they are unexpectedly unavailable, such as being off ill.
We use Review to get feedback on projects, and currently, if someone is off ill, we can't see the review links they set up to gather feedback, unless the link to them was manually shared.
This is the biggest problem I have with the lack of team link-up in Review 360.
I also agree with the other comments, having the archive ability and some level of organisation ability would be so helpful.
When you are getting into large numbers of projects most of which are no longer needing worked on, having the ability to move them so they no longer show up until you go looking for them would seriously de-clutter the screen.
Hi Gregory and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
I'm not sure that particular question was asked in this conversation, but it is included in our request, so it's been asked before.
As mentioned above, we'll be sure to share any updates we have with you here.
Hi David,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and use case for this feature as well.
Hello Leslie, thank you for your response and your care. I imagine that this will certainly be a possibility in the future.

As the originator of this post, I'm quite disheartened that over a year has gone by and this issue still remains unaddressed. We pay extra for the "TEAM" capabilities in 360, and the fact remains that team members still cannot EASILY share their projects on Review. Isn't that the essence of a team? To share work easily with others?
Each team member, upon publishing to Review must still email a link to all other relevant team members (in addition to the client), and furthermore, individuals must then select if they want to receive emails when new comments are added. All this red tape, especially on larger projects, can easily lead to confusion and oversights.
Any team member should be able to easily select other team members to access their projects and associated comments when posting to Review, and furthermore, administrators should be able to easily click/view any project from any team member.Articulate touts the benefits of sharing slides via 360 team capabilities...how is that it never occurred to offer the same capability with published projects on 360 Review? This is a simple, common sense solution - and yet still remains unaddressed.
We use a variety of software from other vendors whose response to customer requests and issues puts Articulate to shame. They are focused on addressing pain points as quickly as possible, and keeping their existing customers happy. This is in stark contrast to Articulate, for which we pay a LOT more money, and from whom we’ve grown much too accustomed to hearing that issues voiced by numerous users are still “under discussion” for months – or years.
Agree with Dave, about the Teams licence we have recently moved to this but have not seen too much additional benefit.
So much untapped potential in Review, a couple of other thoughts:
- Import comments directly into Storyline, maybe another COMMENTS tab next to NOTES.
- Ability for owner of Review to unsubscribe or disable users from notifications.
Hi Michael and Dave,
I hear you, and I can see how it's frustrating that we've yet to make these changes for notifications and shared Review 360 content, while other features are added to Review 360 and the Articulate 360 suite of tools. (All features are noted within our Articulate 360 release notes.)
I will be certain to share your additional concerns with my team, as it's customers like you both who help guide our future plans. Our team is small, and when I say I am sharing it, please know that it is a very short ladder that things are running up, and we really are trying to do what we can to make a product you love and find value in using.
With due respect, Ashley - given the amount of money you're now charging annually for 360, "disappointing" is understatement when we look at the amount of work your team has done to implement updates.
Here is a screenshot showing the TOTAL amount of updates to Review 360 since last September....a full year:
I'd call this pretty underwhelming, especially given the amount of feedback and requests that have been posted in the same period of time.
