Hi! We have a lot of content in a CCMS (DITA XML). I need to export that content and import into Rise 360. Can I import content into Rise 360? If so, what format(s) can I use for import?
It sounds like you have legacy course content that you want to import that content into Rise 360.
While there isn't a way to import content directly into Rise 360, you can use Rise 360 to give your content a fresh, modern makeover. For example, check out how I converted a 3-slide PowerPoint presentation into a beautiful Rise 360 course in this discussion. Is that what you had in mind?
If you would prefer to keep your content intact and embed it in Rise 360, you can do that too! Simply host the content on a web server, then embed it in a lesson using a Multimedia Embed block.
Just wanted to check back in since it's been 2 years. Is there still no way to import legacy content, from a Word or XML file, into Rise, other than copying and pasting item by item?
Is there any institutional will to add an import function to Rise? The idea of copy/pasting a full course's text into a web form sure seems like torture.
Hi Karl, many thanks for the response. I don't know kW is the honest answer. The training module is in Rise, and I want it imported into RISE 360. How can I tell what format it is in?
The training is a combination of video, images, quizzes and interactive text..... not sure this helps you though.
Kind regards , Chester
If Rise could identify, say, font size and create blocks based on font size (H2) headings, Lists be unordered or ordered, based on bullets, and text blocks based on text in a Word document, then there would be a significant reduction in the amount of cutting and pasting that is required to build a course. It would allow more time to be spent on creating dynamic content using the features available in RISE
There isn't a way to import third-party training or Scorm packages into Rise 360. If the content was made in Rise 360 and you wish to continue its development, you'll need to request the author to send you a copy instead.
Do you mind clarifying the format of the Rise course you'd like to import?
At the moment, Rise 360 doesn't support importing Word, PowerPoint, PDF, or XML files as courses. However, we are tracking a feature request for that ability. If your course was published to Web, and hosted on a web server, you can embed it into a new lesson using the Multimedia Embed Block.
Hello, I'm changing jobs next week and, therefore, licenses on Articulate. I have several RISE courses that I need to keep for future edits and use. How do I ensure I can upload and access these courses in RISE in my new job?
Rise 360 courses are tied to the Articulate ID that was used to author the content. Since you will be switching jobs, you most likely will be changing email addresses and Articulate 360 subscriptions as well. If you get temporary access to your old account when you start your new job, you can simply send yourself a copy of all your Rise 360 courses.
If your old account will be deactivated before you get access to the new account, please open a case with our support team here so we can help you with the content transfer.
Hi I have a Scorm file, from a third party provider. That I would like to upload onto the company LMS. The company LMS will not host Scorm files only Articulate uploads. Can I import the Scorm file into Articulate to then upload into the company, LMS?
Can you clarify what you mean by your company LMS only accepting Articulate uploads? Content created from Articulate 360 applications such as Rise 360 and Storyline 360 can be in LMS format as one of the available publishing options.
Published SCORM packages cannot be imported back into any authoring tools so you'll need access to the original Rise 360 course created by your third-party vendor if you plan on making any changes or republishing the course.
1. We edited a course in Rise 360 three years ago. A contractor created the course for us, but shared a copy that we could edit and send to our contractor. The course no longer appears in our dashboard. Is there a way to retrieve it?
2. We do have the final SCORM files exported from Rise 360. Is there a way to import them back into Rise 360 to make new edits? (And then export them back out into SCORM packages, and relaunch the fresh version on LMS) Thanks.
For the missing course, if the course went missing from your dashboard and you or your team has an active Articulate 360 subscription, please open a case with our support team here so we can help locate where the course went.
For the second item, published SCORM packages cannot be imported back into Rise 360. You'll need to track down the original Rise 360 course if you're planning on making any changes, and we'll be glad to help you with this!
Ditto on the feature request -- to import Word to RISE (or other formats).
(On another authoring tool built into a large LMS, I performed the import (and export) process via XML. The internal XML styles residing onboard in the authoring tool could be edited. The XML was mapped by default using the style sheet info from Word (such as H1, H2, etc. and so forth). I was the tech person exploring/testing/creating the process & templates. We could edit the XML to a certain extent;. To streamline more: I created macros (in Word via VBA) to convert legacy Word docs styles into the needed styles required for the XML/import/export. (There were hundreds of pre-existing ILT courses in Word docs, thus the importance of having an import feature, plus our streamlining the process via "cleaning up" the Word docs styles via macros -- to match the XML code in the authoring tool/LMS.)
The import (and export) processes, once built, were very clean & saved enormous amounts of manual copy-and-paste time. (Export was needed to output the updated ILT courses back to Word after edits in the authoring tool.)
All that being said, another vote -- for the hope that Articulate will create the capability to import content from Word. (There are additional posts in this forum asking for this feature, which are much older than this post.)
Thanks for the feedback on the type of functionality you'd like to see in Rise 360!
I've included you in the feature report and will update this discussion as soon as we have news to share! If you'd like to stay up to date, please bookmark our Feature Roadmap.

Is there still no way in 2023? From Word, Powerpoint, PDF, XML... to have at least the text in Rise without copy/paste?
Hi Natalie!
Currently, Rise 360 doesn't support importing Word, PowerPoint, PDF or XML files as courses.
We're tracking requests for importing text from these files into Rise, and we'll keep this thread posted on any updates on this request.

Me too !! I want to import RISE material into Rise360... seems crackers it can't be imported
Hi Chester,
In what format is the Rise material you want to import into Rise 360?

Does Rise360 support importing anything at all e.g. SCORM, Moodle XML etc?
Hello Colin!
There isn't a way to import third-party training or Scorm packages into Rise 360. If the content was made in Rise 360 and you wish to continue its development, you'll need to request the author to send you a copy instead.
You can check out this article to learn more about How to Send a Copy of a Course to Other Authors.
I hope this helps!
We've exported a course built in Articulate Rise about two years ago and now we want to import it back. Is that possible?

Hi Melanie,
Happy to help!
Can you clarify what you mean by your company LMS only accepting Articulate uploads? Content created from Articulate 360 applications such as Rise 360 and Storyline 360 can be in LMS format as one of the available publishing options.
Are you getting error messages when uploading the published content to your company LMS? If so, we recommend uploading the content in a different LMS like SCORM Cloud to test if the behavior is specific to your LMS.
Published SCORM packages cannot be imported back into any authoring tools so you'll need access to the original Rise 360 course created by your third-party vendor if you plan on making any changes or republishing the course.

Hi Kara,
For the missing course, if the course went missing from your dashboard and you or your team has an active Articulate 360 subscription, please open a case with our support team here so we can help locate where the course went.
If you don't have an active Articulate 360 subscription, content is deleted from our servers 6 months after a subscription expires which might help explain why the course is no longer available.
For the second item, published SCORM packages cannot be imported back into Rise 360. You'll need to track down the original Rise 360 course if you're planning on making any changes, and we'll be glad to help you with this!
