Allow publishing access for more than one owner
My team works in a very collaborative environment and the "owner" of the course in Rise360 may not be the only owner or the only person that needs access to publish the course to our LMS.
We previously all had access to publish the course as long as we were listed as collaborators (manager or editor). As of today, this access is gone and only the owner has the option to publish the course.
I saw in Articulate Community that this question has been asked previously in the context of an employee leaving the organization and it was recommended to just share the link. This does not allow us to publish the course in our LMS to track completion for compliance.
I'm not sure what changed for us to previously have access to the publish feature regardless of ownership or why we no longer have the access to do so, but there should at the very least be an option to assign collaborators as "co-owners" so we can have equal publishing/modification rights on team projects.
Thank you!

This is also a frustration for our team. When a person is out on a leave of absence or not available other people on the team cannot publish even if they are on the list.
Hi there,
Has there been any updates for this? We work in a collaborative team and multiple staff members may need to publish content.
Is there a way to 'co-own' or publish content where you are not the owner?Hi NeilDutfield,
Thanks for checking in on this!
At the moment, publishing a Rise 360 course is limited to the course owner, and there isn’t a way to assign co-owners or allow collaborators to publish on behalf of the owner.
I’ve added your voice to the existing feature request so our product team can continue to see how important this is for team workflows like yours.
EricSantos I'm confused...this article seems to say a Manager can publish a course. Am I misunderstanding?
Change a Collaborator’s Role
Collaborators can have one of three roles when working on content:
- The Owner can do everything.
- A Manager can edit, share, and publish content and modify course settings, but they can't edit labels, transfer ownership, view Quick Share metrics, or delete the course. They can also remove themselves as collaborators.
- An Editor can only edit content—they can't access any of the options in Settings, Collaborate, or Publish.
Big frustration!!! If someone is out of office and you need to publish the course, it's a pain.
Options for Teams:
Allow Manager role to be able to publish a course.
Another idea could be to have a folder with an owner who had the permission to publish any content within the folder. So if the "owner" moves the content to that folder, it gives the folder owner permission to publish a course.
