Hiding the author on each page in a fully built course

Hi Laura - right now it's at the lesson level. I'll add the feature for consideration to change it at the course-level too. 

Hi Laura, 

Until now, you've been able to show or hide the author for each individual lesson in a course. And now you can show or hide the author for the entire course all at once. This issue was rolled out in Rise yesterday so you've got it right away - for a full list of the release notes take a look at our article here. 

This is great news - thank you! 

Hi Ashley, how do we go about hiding the author globally? Thanks!

Hi Patricia, 

My colleague Alyssa's got a great Peek video here that she uploaded to Articulate Review on how to change the course author - let me know if that helps! 

Hi there Heroes, how does one go about hiding the author in every page and every aspect of the course in one action? If this can not be done yet, it would be a monumentally useful feature. Thanks! It would also be useful to be able to set the author as hidden for all content by default. We work on projects as a team back and forth and our 10,000+ learners aren't really supposed to be privy to who builds what pages, etc. as we work as a single cohesive group. 

Thanks!

Hi Tanner,

Have you tried hiding the author name under the title on the course main page? That one action should remove the author name from every lesson. 

Let me know if that's what you were after!

Alyssa, that has not been my experience so far. After hiding myself from the main course page, I am still seeing the author automatically populating as myself when I create a new section in the course. We are worried that someone may overlook this option sometime in a course (there are 6 of us working on dozens of courses at a time) and that will take away from the congruous flow of the projects. Being able to universally hide the author, or even completely remove the author option, from the settings page would be ideal.

Hi Tanner.  I see what you're saying!  Let me check with our team to understand the expected behavior there and if we can improve upon that option.

In the meantime, when you are completely finished with a course, using the course author dropdown on the main page to hide the author should ensure the author is again hidden from all lessons.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Same here. I thought you didn't have to go to every lesson but it appears you do. Any updates on this?

Thanks!

Good news, Cheryl! We've just released a fix for this problem. Now when you hide the author on the course main page, the author name should remain hidden even in new lessons. 

Yay! Thanks for the update!!

I'm not seeing a change yet, though.... Maybe a reboot is needed.

Hi Cheryl,

If the course was already published, you'll want to re-publish it. Let me know if you're still having trouble!

Thanks, Alyssa. I changed the main course option back to my name and then made it hidden and it worked. Tks!

Great to hear it, Cheryl! Thanks for the update.
