New user here - Best workflow for technical compliance training?

Hi everyone,

I finally joined the community after using Articulate resources as a reference for a while. I recently stepped into a new role handling training development at AllSafe IT https://www.allsafeit.com/

, and my immediate goal is mastering the Articulate 360 suite to build out our technical onboarding modules.

We handle cybersecurity frameworks and managed compliance for our clients, so I need to find the most efficient way to translate dense technical documentation into interactive courses. I am currently trying to determine when to use Rise 360 for clean, responsive layout tracks versus building custom, scenario-based simulations directly inside Storyline 360.

For those of you who specialize in IT or software training, do you prefer a hybrid approach using Rise with embedded Storyline blocks, or do you build everything from scratch in Storyline to keep full control over the variables?

I would highly appreciate any tips on workflow efficiency or recommendations for starter templates that work well for highly structured training. Looking forward to learning from the community.
