Is it possible to return to an older version of a course after edits have been made? We can see the old version in Review, but what if we decided we didn't like the changes that have been made and wanted to return the Rise course to two versions ago (so that it is editable in Rise)?
Great question. Rise updates in real time, so changes you make are saved immediately. We don't have a versioning system in Rise but it's something our team has talked about as a new feature. It's not on our roadmap yet, but I'll share this discussion with our Product team as we track forum discussions and submitted feature requests to help determine priority!
I would also like to vote for a versioning system in Rise! My team loves using it, but have run into some situations where they've accidentally lost content through copy and paste errors. Thanks for your consideration!
My team enjoys using Rise and would like to see a versioning system in place to help prevent the accidental loss of content and to track the developmental process. I see that this has been discussed for almost two years, so I'd like to add my voice, as well. Thank you for your consideration!
Adding my vote for this feature as well. From a compliance standpoint, we may be asked to pull a certain version of the course that an employee took and right now that is not possible unless you create a new version of the course every time you make even minor tweaks.
Hi there, Nicole. Do you host your courses on your own web server or LMS? If so, you could keep the exported packages that you upload to your hosting platform as an archive of versions for compliance. They won't be editable, but they'll give you a snapshot in time of each version.
+1! This should really be able to save source files locally or have a versioning system. We often need to revert back to older versions and can't have 50 duplicated courses in our Rise interface every time we want to make a change and save a new version.
I would also appreciate versioning. I often duplicate courses and use similar formatting (its easier than blocks) but sometimes I forget I have worked on a section that I need and end up deleting it. It's incredibly frustrating.
Hi, I'd like to add a vote here from our company as well, Salesforce. We really need some form of version control for Rise modules, as others in this thread have mentioned, especially as we're embarking on a huge migration project that will require keeping track of Rise module production and working copies. If version control isn't possible it would be helpful to at least be able to create sub folders in the left folder structure. Many thanks!!

Thanks for the feedback, Nathan! We logged a feature request for this, so I'll add your voice to that.
Allison - Do you have any updates on a versioning feature request? This is something my team feels would be very beneficial.
Hi there, Abbigail. No updates on returning to a previous version at this time. We'll let you know if that changes!
Hi all! I would like to "vote" for adding this feature to your roadmap as well.
Make a copy of your course before making any major edits.
Too late :D But I will definitely do it from now on, thanks for the advice.
Agreed - would be very useful to be able to restore a previous version. has this request made it to the prioritization list yet?
Hi Amy. It isn't on our immediate roadmap right now. We'll let you know if that changes.

I hope that helps!
Thanks Crystal! That's definitely an option and is what we are currently doing but would be great to have this feature built right into Rise.
Is it at least possible to have an efficient undo button, or a notification confirming that we really want to delete content?
Adding my vote as there have been a few times we've made changes and forgot to create a copy, when we needed the old version as well!
Adding my vote too! I accidentally deleted some content that took hours to create and would love a way to retrieve it.

It's actually remarkable that this is not implemented yet. Just managed to "slip" and delete a whole flipcard deck :'(

I would really like this versioning. Running with various similar courses I often make a change to the wrong course.
I'd like to vote for versioning too. Any update on this request?
Hi there, Adam. No updates, yet.
