Most of my clients don't want my details or a single person listed as the author of RISE content, but rather the themselves as publisher of the content.
At present, this means I have to change my name to much my current clients details in my Articulate account... which has obvious implications when posting even on the discussion forums here.
I would like to request that the Author details be modified within the new label edit window instead. That way we can assign a label set for each client with the author details complying to their needs, rather than having to modify my account name before exporting the content.
Since our latest Rise update this week, you now have the option to show or hide the author for an entire course all at once. So instead of changing the author name, you can hide it altogether, if you'd like. You could also look at listing the name of the course author in a Quote Block. There's even a place to add a picture there, if you'd like to include a picture of the author, as well. I put together a quick video tutorial on how to do all of that right here!
We appreciate hearing more ideas on ways in which we can look at improving Rise, so thanks for letting us know how you'd like the author details feature to function. Feature requests from customers like you contribute to our product roadmap, and you can always share them in ELH or send them along to us here.
Hi, I'd be curious if anything has changed on this topic - I notice the timestamp says 1 year ago. I'd also love to be able to have a company logo and name as the author (after all this is a company licence). Is there a work around please?
This would be a very nice feature. On many occasions I want to see the author listed, but 100% of the time I don't want to list myself, but my company or client.
Thanks, David for adding your voice to this feature! I know it was a common request when Rise initially launched, but I haven't heard a lot from others in ELH about this recently, but I'll let my team know it's still sought after. We'll keep you posted here on any updates!
I would like to have this too even with multiple authors, because sometimes we have teams which create the content. :) Would also be nice if you could include contact information when clicking on the autor you want to contact, if this is somehow possible.
Are you looking to change only who is listed or to allow multiple collaborators access to all the features such as Share, Settings, Publish, etc.? I know a few folks have looked for both of those features, so I wanted to make sure I track your needs correctly!

Thanks for the extra insight, Terri. I've also added your voice to the grant export rights to multiple collaborators feature report Ashley mentioned above!
While we promise to update this conversation with any forward movement on either feature, the What's New, What's Next and Rise Version History pages are other great places to follow. We post upcoming and already released features there, too!

I am wondering if there is any advance on the feature in Rise to replace the author from Instructional designer to SME. While adding a block intro works it is not as present in the course environment. I hate to be annoying but this is a feature I desire everytime I use it for a client. Thanks for keeping this on the desired upgrade list.
If you choose to display the author, the author photo (or the initials if you haven't uploaded a photo) will always appear. You could upload a blank image to get around this, but this may make the author name alignment look off.
If you'd like to be able to show the author name without an image, would you be up for logging a feature request to tell us more about your specific needs?
In the meantime, if there’s anything else I can do to help, please let me know!
Do you mean you want to transfer the course ownership to an SME? Or that you just want to be able to make the SME's name and photo appear as the author on the course? If the former, that's already possible. Here's how that works.
If the latter, would you be up for logging a feature request to tell us more about your specific needs?
In the meantime, if there’s anything else I can do to help, please let me know!
This solution isn’t likely to be that helpful as none of my SMEs who write/develop course content have access to 360, nor do they need it. I’m assuming any person you could transfer the authorship to or collaborate with must have an Articulate 360 license…
I’d like to be able to just say click a radio to ‘Enter custom author details’ and then add a name and a upload photo – and ideally be able to add more than one author.
Exciting news! We've enhanced collaboration in Rise 360. Find out about different collaborator roles here.
And this isn’t the only cool feature we released today! Check out our What’s New page for the full list. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. 🙂
I would still like to be able to input a new author name and image just like Nicola Fern mentions. Our SME's do not have access to Rise 360 so the new collaboration features will not help with this issue.
Any progress on this? I see the original question was asked 4 years ago and the requested feature is still not here. Can you just make the Author an editable field so we could decide what to put into that field (be it our name, SME's name, company name, etc.). Thank you.

Agreed. I'd prefer to put my company's name and logo as author.

Hi Jacee,
No changes to this set up yet, but if there is a change our team will try to post in all the relevant discussions to share updates with everyone.
Thanks for checking in!

I have courses with multiple authors - I'd like to be able to list them along with their titles and pictures ideally.

I would like to list the team name rather than just one of the collaborators as well.
Agree wholeheartedly with the previous posts. There really needs to be a way to change the author to a corporate client or a group of collaborators.
Hi Terri,
Are you looking to change only who is listed or to allow multiple collaborators access to all the features such as Share, Settings, Publish, etc.? I know a few folks have looked for both of those features, so I wanted to make sure I track your needs correctly!
Ideally, both. Plus the ability to set my authorship credentials as my company.

Is there a way to remove the circle with my initials from displaying when I elect to display the author name for a course or section?
