Disappointed-Still No Version Control in Rise.
Apr 14, 2021
Sorry to users. This is my 3rd post of the same content today. I'm that disappointed.
I'm so disappointed [tears]. Articulate you should be embarrassed [beet red]. 3 years and you don't have version control in the Rise platform [OMG].
Here's our sad story [sniff]. We were breaking up a course into smaller RISE courses but did not back up the larger course before beginning. Mistakes happen. Thankfully, I recently published it so we can recreate it [sigh].
Articulate: Please model after me and admit you made a grave mistake and tell us the timeline of when version control will be available in RISE. This is the only response I want from Articulate on this matter. I‘m quite sure my head will explode if you:
- Give me the spiel of software companies don't tell what and when they are rolling out. I think we all know version control is not innovative. So, no need to be secretive here. Most new users probably think it is already a feature because it is such a basic need [hopefully I’m preventing someone else’s mistake].
- Ask me to put this fundamental feature as a “suggestion” to your developers. Again 3 years and counting. This response insults me and I bet other users of your product. And it should be embarrassing to your company [tick tock].
- I appreciate the position that articulate staff moderating this community are in. But really, don't make them write a "cheery-thank you for the suggestion nonresponsive post" to me. It is mean to your staff and I feel like I'm "blaming the messenger" and possibly ruining their day.
We made this same mistake about 1 year ago. (See it’s not that hard). I really hope that if/when we make this mistake again (mistakes do happen), I will have version control and the software features that people normally expect with award-winning software.
Looking for action,
Julie

Hi Julie,
I hear your frustration, and I acknowledge your posts. I've tagged this new discussion to receive any updates about version control. There is no ETA for development of this feature at this time.
Hello, any update on this feature? The new theme just wiped out hours of work in a matter of seconds. Please tell me I don't have to re-do it all?
What did you lose as a result of the new Themes function?
Hi Michelle! I’m sorry to hear that. Would you mind opening a support case here to share some more information with us? Our engineers are on standby to help.
