Rise 360: How to Use Snapshots

Want to preserve versions of your training as you create drafts, collaborate with colleagues, and publish courses? The snapshots feature lets you save and restore your work. with just a few clicks. 

Snapshots are particularly handy when you're working with collaborators. You can capture a moment in your training as it develops and then compare it against collaborator versions or restore back to it as needed. No more having to create a duplicate copy of your training! Snapshots can also come to your rescue when you accidentally delete training elements, apply updates to the wrong training, or just need a manual way to track your versions.

Here's how snapshots work.

  1. Create a Snapshot
  2. Restore a Snapshot
  3. Manage the Snapshot List

Step 1: Create a Snapshot

When you first create a training, your snapshot history is empty. To get started, open the Snapshots menu next to the title in the upper left and click Save snapshot. Enter a name and click Save to create your first snapshot.

Whenever Rise 360 detects changes, like adding or removing content, you can create a new snapshot. Just open the Snapshots menu and follow the same process.

Are Snapshots Ever Automatically Created?

Creating a snapshot of your training is primarily a manual process, but Rise 360 will automatically save a snapshot whenever you publish to Review 360 or Reach 360 or export your training for LMS. These events show up in the snapshot history.

Step 2: Restore a Snapshot

Need to return to a previous version of your training? Open the Snapshots menu and click the Preview button for the snapshot you'd like to restore. After reviewing the content to confirm it's the version you're looking to restore, click Restore this snapshot in the upper-right corner. You can also restore a snapshot without previewing it by selecting the Restore option from the . . . menu.

Step 3: Manage the Snapshot List

If your snapshot list starts getting unwieldy, don’t worry. You can rename, restore, or delete snapshots by clicking the . . . menu next to the snapshot you'd like to modify and choosing the appropriate option.
