Articulate 360 Teams in the same regional data center 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 360 sales 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 in the same regional data center. 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: The Owner can do everything. A Manager 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 and publish to Review 360. 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 and Export the Content Only the owner or a manager can share the content with learners and export it for hosting in an LMS or web server. Publish to Review 360 All collaborators can publish the content to Review 360 to collect feedback from stakeholders. Share the Review 360 Content with Non-Articulate Users Only the owner can allow content published to Review 360 to be shared with users who 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.8KViews0likes0CommentsRise 360: Translate Your Content
Use Articulate Localization to create single multi-language courses seamlessly in Rise 360. 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. To change the source language for your course enter the language code in the field. As you type, a list of available language codes appears. The default is U.S. English (en-us). 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 your text 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 sure there 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!17KViews4likes0CommentsRise 360: How to Share Themes
Themes are even better when shared! Shared themes allow authors to apply visual guidelines to their courses quickly or simply benefit from others' inspired custom designs. In a future update, theme sharing will be built directly into the themes menu. Until then, since theme settings persist even when content is copied or duplicated, you can easily share content so that team members can apply your customized theme. Here's how. Duplicating Content Sending a Copy to Another Author Duplicating Content You can quickly create copies with the duplicate function available on your dashboard. Hover over the card of the content you want to duplicate and click the ellipsis icon (...) that appears. Choose Duplicate to create a new, identical copy. Enter a name for the new content and click Duplicate. The new content appears at the top of your dashboard. Keep in mind, some collaborators won’t see the ellipsis menu on content cards. Only owners and managers can duplicate content. Sending a Copy to Another Author If you want to send an entire, independent copy to another author, a company template for example, it’s easy to do. Go to your Rise 360 dashboard, click the ellipsis icon (...) for the content you want to share, then choose Send a copy from the menu that appears. Enter the email addresses of the Rise 360 users who should receive the content (separated by commas), change the default message if you'd like, and click Send. That's it! The recipients will receive email notifications, and the content automatically appears on their Rise 360 dashboards. Recipients can then duplicate the content each time they’re ready to start a new project (that way they keep the original template intact). It’s important to keep in mind that you'll each have an independent copy of the same project. Any changes you make won't appear in the other authors' versions, and vice versa. Even if another author sends a copy back to you later, it's added to your Rise 360 dashboard as new content. You'll have the original version and an updated copy.394Views0likes0CommentsRise 360: Personalize the Theme
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 Modify 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 Image A cover image is added by default when you create your content. The image is used in various theme layouts. You can upload your own image or search for the perfect one from the extensive assets in Content Library 360. If you prefer not to use a cover image in your content, that’s fine too. Select a cover page layout that doesn't include an image 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 upload an image or browse the Content Library for the perfect image. You can also edit the image in the cover page settings. From the edit menu, you can crop the current image or adjust the overlay for your cover image. If it’s hard to see your title with an image 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. For additional themes, click the Change Theme button. Changing the theme reverts any style changes you've made, such as font or theme color. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Note: If you've changed your cover photo, you'll see that image previewed instead of a default image for each theme. Modify the Cover Page and Add a Logo Select Cover Page from the themes menu in the sidebar. Select an available cover page layout to see it with your current content in the main window. Click Save in the upper left to commit your cover page changes or Cancel to discard them. For courses, you can add a logo. Click the Add Logo button at the bottom of the sidebar to upload your image file. Once uploaded, you can change or delete the image by clicking Edit. Reduce whitespace in your uploaded image by selecting Crop logo. In the crop image pop-up, manually crop your image or click Constrain to square to automatically apply a square crop which you can manually resize. Click Save to commit your changes. If you change your mind, open the crop image pop-up again and manually remove the crop. You can also increase the size of the logo on the cover page by selecting an option from the Logo size drop-down list. Small—default logo size Medium—1.5x larger than the default size Large—2x larger than the default size Note: SVG and GIF files can't be cropped. Logo changes are automatically saved. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Modify 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. Under Progress Indicator Style, you can select from the theme default, a circular fill, or complete/incomplete checkmarks. 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. There are several available header layouts. Select one to see it with your current content in the main window. If you'd like to use an image as your header, select the Image style and choose an image from Content Library 360 or upload one of your own. Modify the existing image by clicking Edit Image to access additional menu options. Use the drop-down menu contained here to modify the image overlay color. Once you've selected a header style, change the header height by selecting an option from the drop-down menu at the bottom of the sidebar. 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. Add a color by entering the hex code or manually selecting one from the color palette. Button text automatically changes from light to dark as needed to preserve a 4.5:1 contrast ratio for accessibility. Click Done to close the color selector. Contrast Ensure that text and graphic elements that appear over your theme color adhere to an accessibility-conformant 4.5:1 ratio by selecting Auto from the drop-down list. With this selected, the text and graphic elements that appear over your selected theme color change from light to dark as needed to preserve contrast. Note: When you select Light or Dark, training elements won't automatically adjust and may not maintain contrast that's conformant with accessibility guidelines. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Change Fonts In the Fonts menu, you can select and preview several recommended fonts based on your current theme. If you'd like to mix and match heading and body fonts, click the More tab to add and manage your own custom fonts. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu. Modify Blocks By default, non-text blocks animate smoothly into view as learners scroll through block lessons, but you can turn the animations off if you prefer. Select the Blocks menu, then toggle the Block Entrance Animations switch to Off. Click Save in the upper left to commit your changes or Cancel to discard them. Click Back to return to the main themes menu.5.3KViews0likes0CommentsAI Assistant: Creating, Refining, and Converting Blocks
Blank page problem? Not when you have AI Assistant! You don’t need to start from scratch because you can now easily generate, edit, and convert blocks in seconds. Our human-centered AI block generation process works with you to draft your content, ensuring that you stay in control every step of the way. Available only in Rise 360, AI Assistant’s block generation, block editing, and quick block conversion features can be accessed in multiple ways. Find them in the AI Assistant menu in the upper right, the block formatting menu on the left when you hover over a block, the shortcuts bar at the bottom, and within the block library. Are you ready to get started? Here are some tips for using these block generation features to enhance your course creation process. Create New Blocks from Scratch Refine Existing Blocks Convert Existing Blocks to Another Type Supported Blocks Create New Blocks from Scratch Spend less time putting your thoughts into words—just pick a block to generate. Enter a topic, select reference materials, and let AI Assistant draft the content. Use custom prompts to guide AI Assistant in revising and polishing your draft. When you’re happy with the final copy, click Insert block and see your new block appear. It couldn't be easier! Use Source Content and Specify a Topic You can upload source documents in AI settings or when creating a new block and select them as a reference. AI Assistant uses the content in those documents whenever you generate new content. If you don’t have full files to upload, you can copy and paste content from external sources. The topic you specify guides AI Assistant in narrowing down the content from your source documents. This is especially useful when you have multiple source documents. If you specify a topic that isn't in your selected reference material—existing lessons or source documents—AI Assistant can also generate content using general knowledge. For best results when specifying a topic, try asking AI Assistant to: Focus on a particular subject within the source material. For example, you could say, “Focus on strawberries” when working with a source document about fruit. Focus on a specific section. For instance, “Focus on chapter two” ” when working with a source document with multiple chapters. Write in a particular order using specific source documents. For example, “Write an overview of all my source docs, write an introduction about fruit, write a conclusion about fruit.” AI Assistant also generates relevant topic suggestions when you select source documents. These are displayed above the prompt input box as quick-action buttons. Outline Your Content When creating a list or interactive block, AI Assistant generates an outline before drafting the content. For a sorting activity block, AI Assistant brainstorms the categories after you choose the topic and select the block type. You can then click one from the list or enter one of your own. This particular step gives you a bird’s-eye view of the main topics covered in your block, letting you arrange the main content and structure of your block. Focus on big-picture items like what topics to cover, what order the content will appear in, and how content will be separated into different sections of the block. Polish Your Draft In the final step of the block generation process, AI Assistant shares a full block draft. Now you get to collaborate with AI Assistant to finalize the copy for your block. You can task AI Assistant with doing just about anything here—changing the tone, target audience, format, or topics. Or, get creative! Try asking AI Assistant to: Add scenarios or examples Add pros and cons Add key takeaways Simplify or paraphrase Add more or less text Bold key terms Add emojis Add bulleted lists Note that AI Assistant doesn't support generating media such as images, audio, and video within generated blocks. While AI Assistant is designed to adhere to your topic and source materials, always check for accuracy. AI can't read your mind! It follows instructions but can struggle with context or knowledge gaps and may generate incorrect information. Before clicking Insert block, double-check the output. And if you’ve already inserted the block but want to make changes, use the write and edit inline or block editing features. Refine Existing Blocks In addition to generating new content, AI Assistant makes editing existing content easier than ever with its block editing feature. Use custom prompts to set the tone as more casual or professional, or target a specific audience by simplifying the language or adding technical terms. You can also shorten or lengthen content, or even completely change the topic. Since editing a block allows you to interact with AI Assistant using custom prompts, experiment and have fun! Remember, though, that AI Assistant rejects malicious requests and automatically blocks offensive content. After refining your content, choose to replace the original or insert the modified block below it to compare changes. Convert Existing Blocks to Another Type Want to see how your content would look in a different block? That used to mean tedious copy-pasting from one block into another. But with AI Assistant’s quick block conversion feature, you can convert an existing block into a different type in a flash. Turn a static list block into an interactive flashcard in just two clicks, or condense interactive blocks into a statement or a paragraph block. When converting blocks, AI Assistant retains as much of the original content as possible. AI Assistant maps the content between the two block types to retain content and generates new content only when necessary.
