How can you manage many courses within a team in Rise360? Is it even possible?

Hi everyone!
We are excited to share that we have released Rise 360 Team Folders! You can now create shared team folders in Rise 360 to organize your content and share content with collaborators even faster. We know this has been a popular feature request and we can't wait for you to finally check it out!
Your Rise 360 dashboard will look a little different but don't worry. You can find all of your content, personal and shared, in the My View section. If you run into any snags or have additional questions about Rise 360 Team Folders, our team is available in this discussion or in a support case.

Rob, thank you for that thoughtful list of what you need to make working with a lot of authored content easier. I don't have an update right now, but I'll make sure we share any changes here.
Yes Rob!! Everything you've outlined is exactly what we're feeling too! We've been using Rise for about 18 months now so it's getting really tough to navigate! I really hope they can make these changes soon or we may need to consider other providers too :(
Looks like we're not alone. As we are creating more content it is getting harder to manage. Even adding a course reference at the start of the name is not ideal as it shows as the title.
Everything Rob said, plus I would also like to have an overview of all the courses created by people in our team and each person's role for a course, so I even if I don't have the rights to export, etc, I know who does!
This is one of Rise's biggest failings. Fantastic interface for course development but very little thought gone into the management of large numbers of courses amongst team members.
I created a wish list in this discussion https://community.articulate.com/discussions/rise-360/idea-s-around-improved-course-management-and-organization. Many of the frustrations you listed above, we also struggle with on a daily basis.
@Crystal, is there anything on the roadmap at all in relation to course management??
Thanks, Matt. I don't have any updates on the roadmap right now. We'll share here if we make enhancements to content organization in the future.
Hi, The same for our team, we now have around 700 courses and it's impossible to manage them these days. Thanks for any updates
I hope Articulate aren't diverting developer resources to rise.com instead of Rise 360.
Thanks for posting this Rob, we are experiencing the same issue. We have not found a way to manage it and found your post in the hope someone had a suggestion.
Seems like we are not alone...
I hope a solution is forthcoming.
We're in the same boat now too. My colleagues and I have taken advantage of Rise 360 to produce lots of short SCORM content rapidly, which has been great. But now we're facing the project of translating many of those courses in up to 12 additional global languages for our employees overseas. That obviously balloons the number of Rise courses in my account, and every step of the process that used to be one click is now 12 (such as applying localized labels, and import / export of XLIFF files). And yes, the course management in the Rise portal is a total joke. I'm at over 300 courses, and I'm barely getting by, simply by inserting an ugly-but-useful code (course# + version + language code) in the titles of the courses themselves - and then relying on nothing more than CTRL-F to search the screen! Even that doesn't work all the time, when the course list automatically reflows and hides part of the titles.
Since there doesn't appear to be any great alternatives for managing or even exporting all of this content over to Storyline (which would slow down development but at least provide more management tools), I'm close to hitting pause on Articulate among our team and seeking out a better, more scalable production tool before we invest much more effort in Rise production.
Greatly agree, the team collaboration features in Rise360 are severely lacking.
Victim of it's own success.
We need a much better dashboard if Rise is going to make the most of its larger customers needs. Institutions and large departments can barely function when the adoption drives the course list into the 100s.
There's a lot of money being left on the table here.
+1 Articulate please listen. Any professional use relies on these team functions
Another vote for stronger course management for teams - at the very least, a filterable list of all courses and a way to see (and ideally bulk set!) permissions on created courses.
Hi, all. Is there any news on this request? We are also managing several hundred Rise courses in our company, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage courses without even having the most basic file management functions.
I'd just like to echo that we are experiencing the same issues - and I'd love to get an update!

I just wanted to add another vote for this. We are heading towards an unmanageable number of courses with more in the works. The file management functionality, especially with a team, is lacking. I would also love to be able to filter and sort by owner and mark the status of a course: in development, in review, and final.
Throwing my voice into this one. @Crystal - is there any update to getting this functionality addressed in product? We're gearing up for a lot of short-form content in Rise 360 and we are going to be able to need a way to properly manage it all within the tool for the team vs the dump-it-all-in-one-bucket approach that is in place now.
Hi Crystal, any news here? I hope you notice the deep desperation of the community in terms of teamwork and course organization.
Amen to this request.
Would love an update on this, This is such a critically needed feature. Any updates at all? This is request is 2 years old.
Any word on better ways to manage content for an entire team? I have developers that come and go. We really, really need a way to manage content at a higher level.
I echo this! We have a large team using Rise and it's become increasingly difficult to manage version control and archiving.
I don't really want to be "that guy"... am I alone in expecting that nothing will happen with this for years?
We have wholly scaled back on our RIse course development as course management is not scalable.
