Adding collaborators to multiple courses in bulk

It would be great if you added this to your product roadmap. We work with a lot of outside sources, and having the ability to quickly add a collaborator to multiple courses would be a great feature. Also the ability to add courses to another sub folder for language variants would also be an amazing feature to add to an already great platform. 

Agreeing with the feedback of making it easier to enter multiple collaborators / managers to a course or series of courses in rise. Without the ability to save a source file, our team manually adds all developers for maintenance and availability. It would also be great to have a recall of those you've already entered or a group you can select with those members included. 

Thanks for your thoughts, Michelle. We'll share any updates to collaboration and course management here.

I have to add to this "wish" for the ability to add a collaborator to multiple courses at one time without opening each course. We have a new Content Specialist that I am adding to every course in Rise and that is A TON of times I have to open and close a course to add them.

Add me to the list for this. Adding multiple people to 50+ courses manually is very time intensive.

I actually found this searching for a way to do it.

But same problem here.  lots of developers and contractors coming in/out all the time.  be nice to add everyone, or add everyone in a domain or something.

Yes, we need to be able to do this. Please add this feature.

Yes, I completely agree that "Adding multiple people to 50+ courses manually is very time intensive." We would love this feature.

+1 for this option. Admins need more tools in general imo. If you want us to add more subscribers, give us the features to make managing this easier :)

+1 one this one. Have also sent it to the wishlist for the future. We have 50 courses in multiple languages right now and are growing. Take a lot of hours just to add a new team member. 

• And +1 more, with a slight modification and additional specification in my case. I can definitely see the value in being able to "mass-add " multiple collaborators for multiple courses and/or set Collaborator vs Course Manager rights in one place.
• It would also be useful to have some option to choose whether you do/don't want Collaborator/Course Manager rights (as well as Author Hidden/not or other such "global" settings) to carry over (if you wish) when you Duplicate a course. Every time I do so (which is often), I lose those settings and it's hard (esp. during review cycles/facing deadlines) to remember to redo all such settings/access.
• I'm huge on versioning of courses, especially since it's really easy to accidentally "blow away" courses/lessons/blocks in Rise -- and if you don't realize in a few seconds that you need to click "UNDO" because your mouse accidentally grazed the wrong icon, it's virtually impossible to recover that content. The price of such back-up precautions, however, is that I'm constantly needing to again hide the author at the course's main screen and reassign collaborators under "SHARE."
• Like the above user, I'm also going to seek out and add this to Rise's wish list, thanks.

Any updates on if this is happening? Incredibly time-consuming adding one course at a time.

+1,

And would like to know, even for single courses if a mailing list/alias can be made a collaborator. My org needs to add Sr. IDs to all courses, and that's a group that changes often. Would be helpful to use an alias that's administered elsewhere; maybe in the Articulate Desktop app?

+1 

At the very least, retain collaborators when duplicating since that's the only way to version or localize.

Adding my teams voice to this feature. It's extremly time consuming to add collaborators to every single course and it's not really efficient for the collaboration

+1 to this... I have over 80 courses in my account with a new staff member jumping on board to do some edits to each course. I will have to manually add them as a collaborator to each one. Very painful. Also it would be helpful if you could bulk move courses into folders. This would also be a very handy feature.

+1 also. The amount of productivity being lost here to this very menial administrative task that other systems seem to be able to manage with a semi-colon between email addresses strikes me as something that Articulate should be getting sorted if they want to hold onto the custom of larger e-learning development organisations. 

+1 to this. As the admin, it's really hard to manage all content (add colaborators, ability to share view within the team).

+1 to this enhancement.  We have over 300 courses and have begun translating into four other languages.  As staff come and go we need to share the copies and would like a less time consuming method.

+1

I have submitted countless requests for this feature to be added. We currently have 11 seats in our 'team' and over 800 individual courses, created by different people. Any time we have a new staff member start, we physically have to go into every individual course, click on settings, click on collaborators and individually add in their emails. I'm not sure why there is a 'team' function if you can't bulk add new team members. It should be noted that the last time we had to add new team members, the process took 8+ hours.

PLEASE add this feature! at least allow for sharing a folder! please!

+1.
