Upload a published SCORM to Rise 360 to edit
I'm sure there is some highly complex reason behind this, but for Rise to be able to package up content into a scorm file but then not be able to unpack this same content makes no sense to me. I was hoping this might address the absence of any content recovery option, but alas just another monumental disappointment.
Imagine if someone created the software to do this. 😏
As SamHill explained elsewhere in this thread "Published content is produced in a format that is optimised for deployment".
This means that the information that is required to make a Rise course editable, is stripped out and removed from the published version of the course.
So technically it is not possible to "unpack" a SCORM file and revert it to its editable version, as the required information to do so simply does not exist in the SCORM/Web published file.
Hi Karl. While it's true that the proprietary Rise source structure is stripped out during publishing, a SCORM package is ultimately just a compiled directory of HTML, CSS, JS, and media assets. From a web development perspective, it's entirely feasible to create a lightweight live-editor or wrapper (similar to a visual DOM inspector) that allows users to simply modify text strings, update CSS hex colors, or swap image assets directly within the published package. This wouldn't require reverse-engineering the entire source file or structure; it would just offer a basic UI for post-publish asset maintenance. It seems like a massive missed opportunity for a feature the community clearly needs.
