Rise 360: Share Content with Learners
There’s more than one way to share Rise 360 content. You can submit it for publishing in Reach 360, export it for LMS distribution, host it on your own web server, or download it as a PDF file. Here’s how. Submit to Reach 360 Publish an LMS Package Publish a PDF File Publish Web-Only Output Submit to Reach 360 If your Articulate 360 team uses Reach 360, you can submit training directly from Rise 360 for an admin to review and publish. Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select Reach 360. The Submit to Reach 360 window displays (if the training was previously published, you'll see the date of the last publication). Set completion parameters. Learners can complete the training by viewing a specified percentage, passing a selected quiz lesson (in courses), or both. You can also choose No Requirement. Note: If you lower the passing score of a quiz after the course is published, learners have to retake the quiz in the republished course to gain the benefit of the lowered score, even if their prior score would be a success with the new parameters. Selecting the Course Duration option displays the estimated time it takes learners to complete the training on the overview page. This is 30 minutes by default but can be overwritten with your own value. The Completion Celebration option displays an animated, confetti-filled, celebration for learners when they meet the completion parameters. Enable Certificate for course completion to provide learners with a downloadable completion certificate. Training has no due date by default, but you can select a set number of days to complete the training after a learner is enrolled or specify a due date. If you're not a Reach 360 admin, use the searchable drop-down menu to select a specific admin to notify and add a note, such as if you'd like the training to be included in a specific library or if it's part of a learning path. Click Submit to complete the submission process and return to the training. For courses, if you haven't added content to every lesson, you'll be reminded to do so before you can submit a course. Once a Reach 360 admin reviews your submitted course and completes the publishing process, it’ll be available for learners. Publish an LMS Package Export Rise 360 content as an LMS package when you need to track learners’ progress. Rise 360 supports xAPI-, SCORM-, AICC, and cmi5-compliant LMSs. Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select LMS. Choose an LMS standard: xAPI (Tin Can API), SCORM 2004, SCORM 1.2, AICC, or cmi5. Note: For xAPI and cmi5,if you alter the pre-generated identifier, don't use special characters. Select a Tracking option (completion percentage, quiz result, or Storyline block). If you're tracking by course completion or a quiz result and exporting a SCORM, AICC, or cmi5 package, you also get to choose a reporting option. Note: For microlearning content, only select complete/incomplete options are available for reporting. Decide if you want to display an Exit Course Link for learners and/or Hide Cover Page. Selecting these options can help resolve third-party LMS issues. Note: You can't hide the cover page for training created from Next Big Idea Club content templates. Click Publish in the upper right corner again to generate the package. (If there are any errors, such as a blank lesson, Rise 360 will ask if you want to edit the content or continue.) Click Back to... in the upper right corner to continue working while Rise 360 generates your zip file. When it’s ready, you’ll receive an email notification with a download link. (For small deliverables, you may immediately be prompted to download the zip file before you have a chance to go back to the editor. Just choose a location on your computer and click Save.) Click the download link in the notification email, then click Download Contenton the web page that opens. Choose a location on your computer and click Save. Upload the zip package to your LMS. If your LMS requires you to identify the launch file, point to indexapi.html. Note: If you delete a lesson in your course, then update the course in your LMS, some learners might see a blank page. If this happens, selectMore settingsand click theReset Learner Progressoption when you export your course. Then, when learners launch the newly updated course in your LMS, their progress will be reset. Their quiz data will be retained. This option isn't available for xAPI exports. Publish a PDF File Need to print Rise 360 content? Or download it for compliance documentation? Good news! You can export it as a PDF file. Here’s how. Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select PDF. The PDF file is auto-generated. If there are any errors, such as a blank lesson, Rise 360 will ask if you want to edit the content or continue with the export. Click Back to... in the upper right corner to keep working while Rise 360 generates your PDF file. When it’s ready, you’ll receive an email notification with a download link. (For small deliverables, you may immediately be prompted to download the PDF before you have a chance to go back to the course editor. Just choose a location on your computer and click Save.) Click the download link in the notification email, then click Download Contenton the web page that opens. Choose a location on your computer and click Save. That’s it! You can read the PDF file offline, print it, distribute it to others, or even attach it to your Rise 360 content as an optional download using an attachment block. Want to see a video demonstration? Click here! Here’s how the interactive parts of your Rise 360 content appear in the PDF file: Hyperlinks work as expected and launch in your default web browser. Audio clips, videos, and web objects become static placeholder images. Interactions, such as labeled graphics and tabs, become a series of screenshots, one for each item in the interaction. (Each flashcard becomes two screenshots, one for the front and another for the back.) A Storyline block becomes a screenshot of the first slide in the project. Quiz lessons and knowledge check blocks display questions and answer choices. They don’t show correct/incorrect responses or feedback statements. Publish Web-Only Output If you don’t need to track learners’ progress, you can export Rise 360 content as web-only output and host it on your own web server. It’s easy! Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select Web. The zip file is auto-generated. If there are any errors, such as a blank lesson, Rise 360 will ask if you want to edit the content or continue with the export. Click Back to... in the upper right corner to continue working while Rise 360 generates your zip file. When it’s ready, you’ll receive an email notification with a download link. (For small deliverables, you may immediately be prompted to download the zip file before you have a chance to go back to the course editor. Just choose a location on your computer and click Save.) Click the download link in the notification email, then click Download Contenton the web page that opens. Choose a location on your computer and click Save. Extract the zip package and upload the contents to your web server. If you don't have access to a web server, here are some free options: Amazon S3 offers free hosting with generous usage limits. If you go over your limit, you'll be charged a small fee. See this video tutorial by Tom Kuhlmann to learn more about Amazon S3. Google Cloud also has a free hosting service. You'll be charged a small fee if you go over the free limit.See this video tutorial by Tom Kuhlmann to learn more about Google Cloud. When the files are uploaded, give learners a link to the index.html file.2.3KViews0likes0CommentsRise 360: Use Your Dashboard to Manage Content

There are almost as many ways to say “Hello” as there are ways to make Rise 360 content. That’s why we make it easy to export your content to an XLIFF file for localization into left-to-right languages and scripts with double-byte character sets. Step 1: Duplicate Your Content The first step is to duplicate the content you want to translate. The duplicate you create will become the translated version. Translating into more than one language? You can make a copy for each one or try out the alternate method below. Step 2: Export the Content as an XLIFF File Open the duplicate content you created in the previous step. Click Settings in the upper right corner and go to the Translations tab. If you don’t need to preserve formatting you’ve applied to your text, deselect Include HTML formatting. This exports your content in easy to translate blocks of text. However, it doesn’t contain the coding necessary to maintain any formatting you’ve applied to that content. Click Export XLIFF File and save the file to your computer. Then use a web app, computer program, or professional translation service to edit your XLIFF file. If Include HTML formatting is selected above, you'll see additional HTML tags and extra spaces in your XLIFF file. Don't panic! These are there to preserve your formatting when you import your translated file in Step 3. Tip: Rise 360 uses XLIFF version 1.2. Step 3: Import Translated Text Got your newly-translated file? Great! Open your duplicate content again. Click Settings in the upper right corner, go to the Translations tab, and click Import Translated Text. Select your translated XLIFF file and click Open. A message displays when yourtext is successfully imported. Why am I seeing an error? If you see an error message that says the “Translation file doesn’t match this course,” make sure you’re in the content from which you originally exported your XLIFF file. The XLIFF file is content-specific, so it can't be exported from one deliverable and imported into another. If you see a different error, the XLIFF file may be incomplete or corrupt. Download a fresh copy of the file and try again. If downloading a fresh copy doesn't work, make surethere aren't any blank section or lesson titles in your course. All section and lesson titles have to have content. Where did my formatting go? If you deselected Include HTML formatting in step 2, any formatting you applied to your content prior to importing the translated file is not retained. And let us know if you have any questions. We’re happy to help! Step 4: Translate Your Labels Don’t forget to translate your buttons and other built-in navigational elements. Click Settings in the upper right corner and go to the Labels tab. For more information on how to translate labels, click here. Translate Training into Multiple Languages Need to translate your training into more than one language? One method is to make multiple copies of the course, then translate those copies. But we like this alternate method since you don't have to keep track of which XLIFF file goes with which training copy. Export your XLIFF file as described in Step 2 above and then duplicate the training so you have a copy in the original language. Translate your XLIFF file into all the languages you need. Import one of the translated XLIFF files to the original training. Duplicate your translated training to have a separate copy. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all additional translations. Voila! We find it's quicker and easier to just "overwrite" your original file and make copies. We think you will too!1.2KViews2likes0CommentsRise 360: Work on Content with Other Team Members
Articulate 360 Teams can easily collaborate on Rise 360 content. Create and edit different lessons in a course at the same time or take turns fine-tuning the same content. Collaborative authoring is exclusively available to Articulate 360 Teams. Not a teams subscriber? Contact an Articulate 360sales representative to learn more. You can share and manage items individually, which we'll talk about in this article, or via team folders. If you're collaborating on multiple items, the Team section provides options for a more efficient process. Tip: You can also send a copy of Rise 360 content to another Articulate 360 user. However, each of you will have an independent copy, which is useful when you’re working with an individual Articulate 360 subscriber. It’s not real-time collaboration as described in this user guide. Add Collaborators to Content Change a Collaborator’s Role Collaborate on Content with Other Authors Remove Collaborators from Content Remove Yourself from a Content Transfer Content to a Different Owner Add Collaborators to Content You can add as many collaborators as you want to Rise 360 content as long as they have an Articulate 360 Teams subscription. Collaborators don't have to be on the same team; they just need to have an Articulate 360 Teams subscription. Go to your Rise 360 dashboard and open the content on which you want to collaborate. Click Settings in the upper right corner of the editor and select the Collaborators tab.(You can also click Share and choose View collaborators to get to the same screen.) Enter an email address for each team member who should have access to the course and click Invite. Click Close. Each team member you invite receives an email notification, and the course automatically appears on the collaborator's Rise 360 dashboard in the Team section. Collaborators also see the owner's avatar on the course tile. Change a Collaborator’s Role Collaborators can have one of three roles: TheOwner can do everything. AManager can do everything except edit labels, transfer ownership, set a Share password, or delete the course. An Editor can't access any of the menu options. They can only edit the course. By default, collaborators are assigned the editor role. You can update their role at any time. Go to your Rise 360 dashboard and open the content on which you’re collaborating. Click Settings in the upper right corner of the editor and select the Collaborators tab. (You can also click Share and choose View collaborators to get to the same screen.) Modify a collaborator’s role from the drop-down menu in their list entry. Click Close. Managers can remove themselves as collaborators. Note: Adding a manager or editor doesn't transfer ownership. Only the owner can transfer content. Collaborate on Content with Other Authors Everyone on your team who has access to Rise 360 content can work on it simultaneously. Changes appear immediately. Here’s how each feature works with collaborators. Edit the Title, Description, and Author Only one author at a time can edit the content title and description. When someone else is editing either field, it’ll turn gray and you’ll see the author’s profile picture or initials beside it. Anyone can change the author that displays in the published content. Just click the Author drop-down list and choose one of the collaborators or hide the author altogether. Add New Section Headers and Lessons All collaborators can add new section headers and lessons to course outlines. Edit Section Headers Only one author at a time can edit an existing section header. When someone else is editing it, it’ll turn gray and you’ll see the author’s profile picture or initials beside it. Edit Lessons You can edit any existing lesson in the course unless someone else is currently working on it, in which case you’ll see his or her profile picture or initials and when the last edit occurred beside the lesson in the course outline. If you click the Edit Content button for a lesson that another author is currently editing, you’ll have the option to take control of the lesson. We recommend contacting the other author, as a courtesy, before taking control of a lesson, since taking control will lock him or her out of the lesson. Edit Question Bank Quizzes and Knowledge Checks All collaborators can edit quizzes and knowledge checks created with question banks as long as the source question bank has been shared with them. Quizzes and knowledge checks created manually can be edited as normal. Delete Section Headers and Lessons All collaborators can delete section headers and lessons unless they’re currently being edited by other authors. Rearrange Section Headers and Lessons All collaborators can rearrange section headers and lessons in the course outline—even when they’re being edited by other authors. Preview the Content All collaborators can preview the content. Share, Review, and Export the Content Only the owner or a manager can share the content with learners, publish it to Review 360 to collect feedback from stakeholders, and export it for hosting in an LMS or web server. Share the Review 360 Content with Non-Articulate Users Only the owner can allow content published to Review 360 to be shared with users that don't have Articulate IDs. Modify Theme/Settings The owner and managers can modify the settings, including theme, navigation mode, and collaborators. Note: Edits you make in the theme or settings menus can potentially override those of another user. Make sure to coordinate with your team so that you're not modifying settings simultaneously. Edit Text Labels Only the owner can edit text labels. Send, Duplicate, and Move the Content Only the owner or a manager can send, duplicate, and move the content. Managers can only move the content with the Team directory. Delete and Restore the Content Only the course owner can delete or restore the content. Here’s how to transfer ownership to another author. Remove Collaborators from Content Course owners and managers can remove other collaborators. Course managers can also remove themselves. Go to your Rise 360 dashboard and open the content you need to edit. Click Settings in the upper right corner of the editor and select the Collaborators tab.(You can also click Share and choose View collaborators to get to the same screen.) Hover over each team member you want to remove from the content, click the X that appears, then click Remove to confirm your choice. Click Close in the upper right corner to return to the editor. When you remove collaborators, the content disappears from their Rise 360 dashboards. If they’re editing the content when you remove their access, they’ll immediately return to their Rise 360 dashboards. Remove Yourself from Content Managers can remove themselves from content. Editors must be removed by the owner or a manager. Go to your Rise 360 dashboard and open the course you want to remove yourself from. Click Settings in the upper right corner of the editor and select the Collaborators tab. (You can also click Share and choose View collaborators to get to the same screen.) Hover over your name and click the X that appears, then click Remove to confirm your choice. Owners can’t remove themselves from content, they must transfer ownership first (see below). Transfer Content to a Different Owner Only the owner of content can transfer ownership to another author. Here’s how: Go to your Rise 360 dashboard and open the content you want to transfer. Click Settings in the upper right corner of the editor and select the Collaborators tab.(You can also click Share and choose View collaborators to get to the same screen.) Hover over your name in the list of collaborators and click the Transfer link that appears. Select a collaborator to be the new owner and click the Transfer button. (If the new owner isn't already in your collaborators list, you'll need to add them first. See above.) Click Close in the upper right corner to return to the editor. Note: Other collaborators remain when you transfer ownership.699Views0likes0CommentsRise 360: Choose Lesson and Block Types

You can easily customize your theme in Rise 360 by changing the photo, choosing a theme color, changing fonts, changing your cover page, adding a logo, and more. Just click the Theme icon in the upper right corner of the editor to access the following options. Change the Cover Photo Change the Theme Modify the Cover Page and Add a Logo Select Course Navigation and Button Style Change the Lesson Header Hide Author Avatars Set the Theme Color and Adjust Contrast Change Fonts Modify Blocks Change the Cover Photo A cover photo is added by default when you create your content.The photo is used in various theme layouts. You can upload your own photo or search for the perfect image from an extensive library of gorgeous, royalty-free photographs. If you prefer not to use a cover photo in your content, that’s fine too. Select a cover page layout that doesn't include a photo and your selected theme color displays instead. In the Theme menu, select Cover Page in the sidebar. Next to the photo, click Edit. From here you can generate an image with AI Assistant, upload an image, or browse Content Library 360. You can also edit the photo in the cover page settings. From the edit menu, you can crop the current image or adjust the overlay for your cover photo. If it’s hard to see your title with a photo background, try adjusting the Overlay. Select a light or dark transparent overlay, then adjust its opacity as needed by percentage. Overlay adjustments affect text contrast for the image on both the cover page and sidebar navigation. For instance, if you select a dark overlay, the text color will be light and vice versa. Pro tip: Check your navigation settings to make sure your selected overlay provides the expected contrast on the sidebar image. Change the Theme New content has the Rise theme applied by default.

Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Select Course Navigation and Button Style You have multiple options when it comes to navigation. For courses there's the sidebar menu, compact navigation, and overlay navigation. For microlearning, select between continuous scroll or incremental steps. By default, Rise 360 courses use the sidebar menu. The compact menu is a small menu that appears as a minimized card in the bottom-left corner of your course. Overlay navigation is a large, persistent card that appears at the top of the course. For microlearning, blank content defaults to continuous scroll while stepped navigation is the default for content templates. For stepped mode, you can select an indicator type or disable the indicator bar entirely. Select Navigation from the themes menu in the sidebar, then select one of the available navigation layouts to see it with your current content in the main window. For courses, click the Buttons tab for options to change the appearance of previous and next buttons. Select from full width: Or floating: You can also choose from white or dark color schemes or versions that use your selected theme color. Theme color options have a 4.5:1 color contrast ratio. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Click here for information on additional navigation controls. Change the Lesson Header For courses, select Lesson Headers from the themes sidebar. To disable lesson headers, toggle the Hide Lesson Headers setting to On. When turned on, the lesson count label, lesson title, and author avatar won't display at the top of each lesson. Additional lesson header options in the Theme menu are disabled.

Lesson count labels can be toggled on or off with the appropriate option. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Hide Author Avatars There are three ways to hide the author avatar that appears on the cover page and in each lesson header. Globally: On the cover page, click the author avatar and select Hide Author. This hides the author avatar on the cover page and all lessons. For all lessons: Navigate to Themes > Lesson Headers and slide the Author Avatar option to Off. This hides author avatars for all lessons but keeps the author avatar on the cover page. Per lesson: In each individual lesson, select Hide Author from the author avatar drop-down menu. Set the Theme Color and Adjust Contrast Customize your content with a theme color and adjust text and graphic contrast in the Colors menu. Theme Color The theme color appears throughout your content to tie it all together. Choose from one of the suggested colors or create your own custom color: In the Colors menu, click Custom.

Before you can add content to a Rise 360 course, you need to outline the course with lesson titles, and you can organize lessons into sections. In this user guide, you’ll learn how to outline a course. A course must have at least one lesson, and there’s no limit to the number of lessons you can add. The outline, or menu, you create with section headers and lesson titles appears on the cover page for your course, and it's also available in the sidebar as learners work through the course content. Learners can collapse and expand sections in the sidebar to hide lesson titles and see the overall structure of the course. (Tip: Learners can show or hide the sidebar by clicking the hamburger icon (☰) in the upper left corner of the course.) Add Sections and Lessons Rearrange Sections and Lessons Rename Sections and Lessons Delete Sections and Lessons Duplicate Lessons Copy Lessons to Other Courses Change Lesson Icons Add Content to Lessons Add Sections and Lessons Type a section header or lesson title in the Add a lesson title placeholder, then press Shift+Enter to make it a section header or just press Enter to make it a lesson title. To insert a new section or lesson between existing items, click the divider where you want to add it (a plus sign will appear as you hover over it). A placeholder will be inserted between the two items where you can type a section header or lesson title. Rearrange Sections and Lessons It’s easy to rearrange sections and lessons. Just drag them up or down the list and drop them where you want them to appear. Rename Sections and Lessons To rename a section or lesson, simply click the title and type a new one. Your changes will be saved immediately. Delete Sections and Lessons To delete a section header or an empty lesson, hover over it and click the garbage bin icon that appears. If a lesson already has content, hover over it, click the ellipsis that appears, then choose Delete. When you delete a section header or lesson, an undo option will temporarily display in the lower left corner of the screen in case you change your mind. Click Undo to restore it. Duplicate Lessons You can duplicate a lesson when you need a similar lesson structure and just need to swap out content. Hover over the lesson, click the ellipsis that appears, and choose Duplicate. The duplicated lesson will appear immediately below the original lesson in your course outline. Copy Lessons to Other Courses You can reuse existing content and create courses faster by copying lessons across courses. (Click here for a demo video.) In the course outline, hover over the lesson you want to copy, click the ellipsis that appears, and choose Copy to another course. When the course selector appears, click the course to which you want to copy the lesson. You'll see a confirmation message in the lower left corner stating thatthe lesson was successfully copied. Click the View button to jump directly to the course where the lesson was copied. The copied lesson will appear at the bottom of the outline in the new course. You can change the order by dragging the lesson to another location in the outline. Change Lesson Icons Each lesson that has content also has an icon associated with it. The icon appears to the left of the lesson title in the course outline. You can change the default icon for each lesson by hovering over the lesson, clicking the ellipsis that appears, choosing Change Icon, then selecting an icon from the list. Add Content to Lessons After outlining your course (see above), choose a type for each lesson (lesson or quiz) and add content.

There are lots of reasons to control navigation in your courses. Like you want your learners to take the course in a certain order. Or maybe you don't want them to be able to search for answers or you're creating a branched scenario. Whatever the reason, Rise 360 gives you plenty of options. Keep reading to learn how to control course navigation. Access Navigation Controls Disable Navigation Show or Hide the Sidebar Restrict Navigation Turn the Search Feature On and Off Mark Lessons as Complete Disable Video Playback Speed Turn Off Previous and Next Buttons to Create Branched Scenarios Turn Off Lesson Numbers Use Continue Blocks to Reveal Content Use Button Blocks to Branch from One Lesson to Another Access Navigation Controls Most navigation controls are found in the theme menu under navigation. Navigation changes are persistent across themes. Disable Navigation Disabling navigation is easy to do. Click Theme in the upper right corner of the course editor, then select Navigation. Scroll past the navigation options and toggle the Navigation option to Off. Once navigation is disabled, you can no longer select navigation display options. Menu options like search visibility, which are navigation-dependent, are hidden. With navigation turned off, learners can only start the course from the cover page and won't see the course outline. Click Save to commit your changes. Show or Hide the Sidebar The sidebar is open by default and learners can close it as needed. On small screens, such as smartphones, the sidebar automatically collapses to give your content more room, and learners can open it when they need it. To hide the sidebar by default, select Sidebar in the Navigation menu to see available options. Below the appearance options list, toggle the Begin with sidebar open option to Off. Click Save to commit your changes. Restrict Navigation By default, learners can move freely throughout a course. But sometimes you may need them to view lessons in sequential order. Just change the navigation mode! With Restrict Navigation toggled to On, learners have to take lessons in order. Selecting this also disables search and the ability to mark lessons as complete. Turn the Search Feature On and Off Search is active by default in new and existing courses. To disable search, toggle the Search option to Off. If you've turned off the sidebar for your course, you won't see this option. Mark Lessons as Complete If you let learners navigate freely, you can also allow them to mark unfinished lessons as complete in the sidebar without viewing the content. You might allow this, for example, if you’re creating a refresher course and learners are already familiar with some topics. To enable this, toggle the Marking Lessons Complete option to On. Note: Quizzes can’t be marked complete. Disable Playback Speed Playback speed lets learners select a playback speed that’s comfortable to them, from 0.25x up to 2x, they just need to click the icon to the right of the time remaining. It's enabled by default. Toggle the Video Playback Speed slider to Off to disable this option for all videos in the course. Note: Disabling this option may affect your course's accessibility for some learners. Turn Off Previous and Next Buttons to Create Branched Scenarios If, instead of using scenario blocks, you want to make your entire course a branched scenario, limit navigation to button blocks. It’s a fun way to create content where learners must make decisions in order to progress. The key is to disable the default navigation buttons that appear at the top and bottom of each lesson. Select the Buttons tab, then toggle the Previous/Next Lesson Buttons option to Off. (When this option is switched on, the buttons show the titles of the previous and next lessons.) To ensure the only way your learners can navigate your course is via your button blocks, disable navigation. Or, you can provide another way for learners to navigate the course by setting the sidebar style to not display automatically so it's still available when learners need it. Turn Off Lesson Numbers When lesson numbers don’t fit your course content, toggle the Lesson Count Labels option to Off in the lesson headers menu. This removes the Lesson # of # label at the beginning of each lesson. It's particularly handy when you’ve created a branched scenario that doesn’t require numbered lessons. Use Continue Blocks to Reveal Content Use continue blocks to progressively reveal content or require learners to complete interactions before moving on. Just insert a continue block in a custom blocks lesson where you want navigation to pause, then choose a Completion Type to determine how the continue block behaves. There are three completion types: None means learners simply need to click the button to continue. There are no other requirements. Complete Block Directly Above means learners must complete the interaction immediately before the Continue button. Complete All Blocks Above means learners must complete all interactions above the Continue button to proceed. You can use continue blocks to require learners to complete carousel blocks, checkbox lists, audio blocks, video blocks, accordions, tabs, labeled graphics, processes, sorting activities, flashcards, knowledge checks, and scenario blocks. (Although button blocks and attachment blocks are interactive, you can’t require learners to click them.) Use Button Blocks to Branch from One Lesson to Another Use button blocks to branch learners to other lessons in the course. For example, if you reference a topic discussed elsewhere in the course, you might give learners a button that jumps to that topic. Just insert a button block or a button stack in a lesson, then choose a Destination for each button. The destination can be another lesson in the same course or an external web page. You can also use button blocks to exit the course.399Views0likes0CommentsRise 360: Share Content with Team Folders
Create shared team folders in Rise 360 to organize your content and assign permissions. Quickly assign roles to multiple authors for the content shared in these folders for better collaboration. Team folders is exclusively available to Articulate 360 Teams. Not a teams subscriber? Contact an Articulate 360 sales representative to learn more. Share Folders and Items Understand Tasks and Permissions FAQs Share Folders and Items When you add a collaborator to Rise 360 training, the item automatically moves to the Team directory. Team members see only those items to which they're assigned collaborator roles. If you're a course owner or manager, from the folder or item menu click the More (...) icon and select Share. Add editors or managers. You can also add the Everyone group to give everyone on your team access to the item. You can also remove or modify collaborators from this menu. Move a Shared Item Once an item is in the Team directory, create a new folder or move it to an existing folder to stay organized and assign global collaboration settings. Create new folders with the New Folder button. Hover over a single folder in the sidebar or an item card in the main window, click the More (...) icon, and click Move to move items and folders to new locations. When you move an item or folder to an existing folder, it inherits that folder's share settings. Everyone with a collaborator role for that folder has access to the moved item(s). See the Understand Tasks and Permissions section for more details. Unshare a Folder or Item Unshare a folder or item entirely by moving it to your Private directory. This removes all collaborators from the items. Only owners can move folders and items they've shared. If you unshare a folder that contains folders or items owned by others, those folders and items are also unshared and move to their private directories. Delete a Shared Folder or Item Click the More (...) icon and select Delete to delete individual items or folders. Only owners can delete their shared folder or items and move them to the Deleted section. If you delete a folder that contains folders or items owned by others, those folders and items are also moved to their owners' Deleted section. Tip: Folders and items can only be deleted one at a time. Need to delete several items and folders? Move them to a new folder and then delete the folder. Restore a Shared Folder or Item From the Deleted section, select the folder or item, and choose Remove from trash. Restoring shared folders or items moves them back to their original location. If the location or folder no longer exists, you'll find them in your Private directory. Understand Tasks and Permissions You'll have either editor or manager permissions to Rise 360 items you can see in the Team directory. Control who sees your shared content by placing them in team folders and customizing the folder share settings. Hover over the folder on the sidebar or the folder breadcrumb on top, click the More (•••) icon that appears, and choose Folder share settings. Or select the checkbox in the upper-left corner of the folder, then click the share icon on the dynamic action toolbar on top. In the pop-up that displays, search for specific team members by name or email and click their names. Then select editor or manager. Add the Everyone group to give all seatholders access as an editor or manager. To remove access, hover over selected members and click the trash icon. Permissions can be either explicit or inherited. Explicit permission is manually adding the user or group through the folder share settings. It doesn't change even when you move the folder. Inherited permission is when the folder automatically adds the share settings from the parent folder. If the folder is moved to another location, its inherited permissions are replaced with the new parent folder's share settings. To convert inherited permissions to explicit, remove them and manually add them back. Updating folder share settings applies the change to all subfolders under it. Currently, this also affects folders owned by other members. The permission on the updated folder is explicit, while the permissions on the subfolders are inherited. See the table below to compare permissions: Folder Tasks Owner Manager Editor View the shared folder View shared folder permissions Create a subfolder in the shared folder Add a new item in the shared folder Rename the shared folder Change shared folder permissions Move the shared folder (for managers, within Team section only) Delete the shared folder Item Tasks Owner Manager Editor View items Edit items Add items to bookmarks Publish an item Send a copy of an item Duplicate items Move items (for managers, within Team section only) Change item share settings Delete items FAQs What happens to shared content when the owner is removed from the team? When you remove someone from your team, you must transfer all their shared content to another member to complete the process. To keep the user's unshared content with their Articulate ID account, uncheck the Include private content box. This is handy when the user is a contractor or freelancer who used their personal Articulate ID to join your team and has private content connected to it. See this article for more information about managing content when users leave your team. If you're leaving the team, move all the content you want to keep to your Private directory first, then ask your admin to uncheck the Include private content box when removing your access. More details on how long we'll keep your data here. Can I give non-seatholder admins access to team folders? Only seatholders in the same subscription can access team folders. If you're working with other teams, their shared content is in the External Teams section. Will I be notified when someone updates the items I shared? No, we don't send any notifications for team folders at this time. What happens when the subscription expires and I want to reactivate it? Shared content, such as Rise 360 items in team folders, stays with the subscription. If you think you might renew your subscription later and want to keep your shared content, move them to your private directory before your subscription expires. Your online data remains intact if you renew your subscription with the same Articulate ID within six months. You'll have access to all your private content items. Let us know if you need help retrieving shared content from the previous subscription.398Views0likes0Comments
