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.Rise 360: Choose Lesson and Block Types
After creating a microlearning or outlining a course with lesson titles, it’s time to build your content. For courses, the next step is choosing lesson types or quizzes. For both microlearning and courses, you'll continue by selecting and editing blocks, components you can stack to create content that looks gorgeous on every device, in every orientation. Selecting Lesson Types (Courses Only) Selecting Block Types Selecting Lesson Types (Courses Only) After outlining a course, you build your content by creating blank lessons, importing prebuilt lesson templates, or adding quizzes. Blank Lessons To build a lesson from scratch, click Add Content and choose Blank Lesson. If a lesson already has content, click Edit Content to modify its text and media. Lesson Templates Rise 360 has an extensive collection of modular, fully customizable lessons on business topics relevant to every employee. Select Lesson Template to add this carefully researched content to your courses. Use these lessons to create entire courses or mix them with your own content to develop custom courses faster. See this article for more details on how they work. Quizzes Quiz lessons let you assess your learners or simply pique their interest. Add text and media, identify the correct responses, and provide optional feedback for learners. To get started, select Quiz, then choose from multiple choice, multiple response, fill-in-the-blank, or matching questions. See this article for details. To customize quiz settings, such as passing score, randomization, timing, and number of retries, click Settings in the upper right corner of the quiz editor. Selecting Block Types Rise 360 lets you stack a wide assortment of blocks to create custom learning experiences. Combine blocks to develop completely unique content—the possibilities are endless. While each block is stunningly pre-styled, you can easily create your own look by swapping in content, switching fonts, and selecting an accent color. Add blocks to content from the blocks shortcut bar. If you don’t see the block you want to add, click All Blocks and choose a block type from the library that appears in the sidebar. You can also use the insert block icon that appears above or between existing blocks to open the block library. Block Category Description AI Blocks Accelerate content creation with AI-generated blocks. Generate text-based blocks or create custom imagery for your training. Text Tell your story with a variety of text blocks, from paragraphs and headings to two-column layouts and tables. Statement Make important points stand out with statement blocks.

Divider Organize a lesson into logical sections with dividers, numbered dividers, and spacers. Use continue blocks to progressively reveal content and make sure learners complete interactions before moving on. Block Templates Build Rise 360 courses faster by saving existing blocks and their content as block templates, then reusing those block templates in other lessons. And if you have an Articulate 360 Teams subscription, you can share block templates with your team. Learn more about block templates. Code Ramp up interactivity in your Rise 360 training by coding your own interactive blocks using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

You can easily customize your content 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 Note: Theme settings apply to the current content only. However, when working with content in an AI Localization stack, theme settings applied to any version are applied to all versions. 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.
