Rise and copying content across courses?
Hi all,
I'm loving the new Rise software, but I'm wondering if it is possible to copy blocks/lessons from one course into another course, and if so, how? (Like in Storyline, you can import specific slides from other SL files into a new course, how is this handled?) The only work-around I can see is making a duplicate of a course and then editing it, but what if you want to recombine and pull lessons across multiple courses? Please advise. Thanks!
Hi Annalisa - right now you can't import blocks. But you can duplicate lessons within a course. (Not just duplicating courses.) We'll look at the ability for more course-to-course importing.
Any update on this? I would love to be able to copy blocks or import lessons to another RISE course.
Hi Gigi,
You can copy Lessons from one Rise course to another.
See https://articulate.com/support/article/Rise-360-7-Ways-to-Reuse-Your-Content#copying-lessons
It is also possible to copy only specific blocks from one location to another.

can I shift the articulate rise file to another account/login.?
Hi Rajeev,
We're working on two features right now that would help you out!
The first is a Collaborators feature so that you and any other 360 Teams members could share and edit a course together. They don't need to be in your team even, but you all have to have 360 Teams subscriptions.
We're also working on a feature to allow you to transfer ownership of a course and that you could transfer to any other individual or teams member. So if you were leaving the company, sending off final project to a client, etc. you'd be able to give them a version of the course that they could edit and use.
We'll keep you posted on the release of both of these features, so you can always follow along with the Rise Version History and the "What's New" page of Articulate!
Any updates on these two features?
Hi Lisa! Great question and glad you brought this thread back up :)
The collaborators feature is targeted for Q2, so hopefully we will have some news about that soon.
The transfer that was mentioned above, was released as 'Send a Copy'. This way, when you 'transfer' your course, you don't actually lose your copy - so you 'send a copy'. You can certainly utilize this feature now and you can read check out Adam's video here on the topic.
+1 to "copy blocks/lessons from one course into another course".
Me too! This feature would be so helpful!
Hi Chet and Nicole! Thanks for adding your voice. We are targeting to release a feature to allow you to copy lessons across your courses by the end of this year.
We'll keep you posted. 🙂
Would be great to have some kind of personal block/lesson library that we could save to and which would then be available as an option to add into any new course. Would also be great if groups of blocks could be saved so that we wouldn't need to re-add individual blocks to recreate a lesson in a new course. Hoping that the upcoming feature that you mention Crystal does this kind of thing. There is content that is common to many of my modules and this would make life a lot easier. Duplicating an entire course to be able to re-use some blocks is not a workable solution.
Thanks Stuart - the feature is still being worked on as Crystal mentioned, so this is all great information for our team to have.
For what it's worth, I second Stuart's request! I have a client who wants to move 3 lessons from one course into another, currently the only way I can think to do it is to re-build the lessons into the correct course. It would be great to have the option to save them and insert them into any course.
If anyone has any suggestions on how I could avoid rebuilding these lessons for now, that would be great!
