747 Topics- Rise 360: Export to LMS, PDF, and the WebReady to distribute your Rise 360 content to learners? You’ve got options! In addition to using Quick Share and Reach 360, you can export your content for LMS distribution, host it on your own web server, or download it as a PDF file. Here’s how. Publish an LMS Package Publish a PDF File Publish Web-Only Output Publish an LMS Package If you use a third-party LMS, you can export your Rise 360 content in a variety of compatible formats. Rise 360 supports xAPI-, SCORM-, AICC, and cmi5-compliant LMSs. Open the content you want to publish from your Rise 360 dashboard. Then, 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. All content can be tracked by completion percentage or Storyline block. Courses can also be tracked by quiz result. If you're tracking by course completion or quiz result and exporting a SCORM, AICC, or cmi5 package, you can choose a reporting option. Note: Not all complete/incomplete options are available for reporting on microlearning content. Tracking completion through multiple options is available only when publishing to Reach 360. Choose whether to display an Exit Course Link for learners and/or toggle the Hide Cover Page option. Selecting these options may help resolve third-party LMS issues. Note that you can't hide the cover page for training created from Next Big Idea Club content templates. Less-frequent LMS issues may be solved by options in the More settings menu: 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, toggle Reset Learner Progress and click Continue to confirm. 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. If your LMS supports hiding the Suspend, Continue, and Close buttons at the top of your training, you might see duplicate buttons in training exported using SCORM 2004. Toggle Hide LMS Interface to hide these extra buttons. 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 Content on 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. Publish a PDF File Need to print content or download it for compliance documentation? Good news! You can export your Rise 360 content as a PDF file. Open the content you want to export from your Rise 360 dashboard. Then, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select PDF. The PDF file auto-generates. If there are any errors, such as a blank lesson, Rise 360 first asks 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 Content on 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. Interactive elements of your Rise 360 training may display differently in your PDF file. Here's how interactive blocks are displayed in PDFs. Hyperlinks work as expected and launch in your default web browser. Audio clips, videos, web objects, and custom blocks 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. Code blocks display a compatibility error message. Publish Web-Only Output You can also export Rise 360 content as web-only output and host it on your own web server. Here’s how. Open the content you want to export from your Rise 360 dashboard. Then, click Publish in the upper-right corner of the screen, and select Web. Choose whether you'd like to include the cover page and click Publish. The zip file auto-generates. If there are any errors, such as a blank lesson, Rise 360 first asks 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 Content on 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. Once the files are uploaded, provide learners with a link to the index.html file.47KViews0likes0Comments
- Reach 360: Publish TrainingTo add training to your account library, it must be published. Once it's live, you can enroll learners and groups or learners can discover it for themselves. Keep reading to see how to get training into the hands of your learners. Publish New Training Publish Updates to Existing Training Note: Reach 360 Admins can directly publish training from Rise 360 if they're also an Articulate 360 seatholder on their team. Publish New Training On the Courses section of the Manage tab, newly submitted content is listed at the top of the training list with an Unpublished button. Unpublished items are always listed before content with submitted changes. Don't see your training listed? If you're an Articulate 360 seatholder, you can also click Add Courses and select Publish Courses from Rise to open Rise 360. Note: Reach 360 content creators can select an admin to notify by email when submitting Rise 360 training. Storyline 360 training submissions automatically send a notification email to all admins. Click the item in the list and click the Publish Course button. The author may have modified these values already, but you can change them here before publishing. Above the title, click Preview Course to open the submitted training in a new tab. This doesn't count as an active learner event. For Rise 360 courses, set training completion parameters. Learners can complete the training by viewing a specified percentage, passing a selected quiz lesson in the training, or both. You can also choose to publish the training without a completion requirement. Note: If the author lowers the passing score of a quiz after the training is published, learners will have to take the quiz again in the republished training to gain the benefit of the lowered score, even if their prior score would be a success with the new parameters. The training duration value is how long it takes the average learner to complete the training. The default value is 30 minutes and can be overwritten. Select the Completion Celebration option to display an animated celebration for learners when they meet the completion parameters. You can also provide learners with a downloadable completion certificate. Note: If a user takes training as part of a learning path that has a completion certificate, they'll only be able to download one certificate for that learning path, not the individual certificates of its composite items. Set how long a learner has to complete the training after they've enrolled. You can set a specific date, no due date, or a custom timeframe of your choosing. When selecting an interval of a set number of days, the time period begins when the learner is enrolled in the training. If you’d like learners to be able to find this training in your account library, set Library Visibility to On. If set to Off, only those learners enrolled in the training will be able to take it. Also, we recommended turning off library visibility if the training is part of a learning path. Once library visibility is enabled, you can select the library where users can find it. Click the Choose Topic button, then select as many topics as apply from the pop-up menu. Use the search bar to filter the topic list. Click the X once you’re finished. Remove an already-added topic by clicking its X icon. Click Publish to complete the publishing process and return to the training details. Publish Updates to Existing Training When an author submits changes to training, it moves to the top of the training list under any unpublished training and displays a New Changes button. Click the training to access the training details. Click the Publish Updates button to open the Publish Course window. Review the publish settings as detailed in the previous section, making any changes as necessary. Note: When you republish an existing training where each lesson has been updated, the manually modified training duration value will be overwritten. Click Publish. Learners aren't notified when training is updated, you'll have to let them know there are changes. They'll see your updated content if they're currently taking or retake the training. If they've already completed the previous version of the training, their progress isn't reset. Pro Tip: Want to remove access to training, make it invisible to learners, or remove it from your library entirely? Click here for more information.2.4KViews0likes0Comments
- Articulate 360 Teams: Reducing Licenses in a SubscriptionWe understand that business needs may sometimes require you to scale down the size of your Articulate 360 Teams subscription, and we're here to support you. When you request a creator license reduction, we’ll update your number of licenses at renewal, and our system will remove creators to reach the reduced count. Unassigned licenses will be removed first, then unclaimed invites, and finally active licenses, starting with the last one assigned. If the system removes an active creator, the team will lose access to any shared content from the removed creator until that creator rejoins the team subscription. If the removed creator joins a different subscription, they'll lose access to all the content they own—both personal and shared. We can help reconnect these from the backend, but removing creators before renewal gives you more control over what happens to content and avoids disruption. We recommend following these steps: Check your renewal date in the Manage Team tab of your Account Management Console. Before this date, answer these questions: Which users do you want to remove from the team? Who will receive their shared content? Will you let them keep their personal content? Review this user guide on managing content when users leave your team. Before renewal day, remove the users and transfer their content based on your answers in step #2.749Views0likes0Comments
- Storyline 360: Importing Slides from PowerPointImport PowerPoint presentations into Storyline 360 to save time and build on what you already have. It's a quick way to accelerate course development, especially when subject matter experts create content for you in PowerPoint. Tip: Most PowerPoint features are supported in Storyline 360, but some aren't. Read this article for details. Importing PowerPoint Slides First, do any of the following: Click Import on the Storyline 360 start screen and select Import PowerPoint. Go to the File tab on the ribbon, scroll to Import, and click PowerPoint. Go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click New Slide, scroll to Import, and choose PowerPoint. Go to the Slides tab on the ribbon, click New Slide, and choose PowerPoint. Browse to the PowerPoint file you want to import and click Open. Tip: If you're importing a PowerPoint file that includes Presenter resources (such as audio), be sure the *.ppta file is located in the same folder as the PowerPoint file. Otherwise, Storyline 360 will import only the PowerPoint slides, not the corresponding Presenter resources. If you opened the wrong PowerPoint file or want to select a different one, click the ellipsis button (...) in the upper right corner to browse for another file. Storyline 360 will display thumbnail images for all slides in the presentation. Select the slides you want to import. By default, all slides will be imported unless you choose otherwise. You can tell which slides are selected by their blue outline. To select or deselect a slide, just click it. The blue outline will either appear or disappear to indicate its status. You can also click Select All or None in the upper right corner to quickly select or deselect all slides at once. Use the Insert into scene drop-down at the bottom of the window to choose where the PowerPoint slides should appear in your course. You can insert them into a new scene, which is the default option, or you can choose an existing scene. If you choose a new scene, use the Scene field to give it a name. Click Import to complete the process. Tip: If your presentation includes Quizmaker quizzes or Engage interactions and you encounter an error message that one or more of them can't be found, read this article for solutions.7.1KViews2likes0Comments
- Rise 360: Manually Translate Your ContentThis article covers the process of manually translating Rise 360 content into left-to-right languages using XLIFF exports and imports. This method is best suited for single-language translation. Articulate Localization, available as a subscription add-on, allows for seamless creation of multi-language courses within Rise 360. Learn more by visiting the Articulate Localization user guide, or contact our sales team to learn how you can add Articulate Localization to your subscription. Read on for the manual process. Duplicate Your Content Export the Content as an XLIFF File Import Translated Text Translate Your Labels Translate Training into Multiple Languages Step 1: Duplicate Your Content The first step in the manual process is to duplicate the content you want to translate. The duplicate you create is used for the translated version. On the Rise 360 dashboard, hover over the content you want to translate and click the ellipses icon that appears. Select Duplicate. Enter a name for the duplicate content. (We recommend using the original course title, appended with the language code, such as “fr” for French.) Then, click Duplicate to confirm. The duplicate content appears at the top of your Rise 360 dashboard. Note that you'll need to create a duplicate for every language you want to translate your training into. Alternatively, with Articulate Localization, you can translate your content into 80+ languages (including right-to-left languages) and manage all language versions as a single project stack, right from the Rise 360 dashboard. Step 2: Export the Content as an XLIFF File Open the duplicate content you created in the previous step. Click the Settings icon in the upper toolbar. On the Translations tab, expand Traditional XLIFF Translation. If you're following this guide, skip Steps 1 and 2. Under Step 3, 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. Enter the source language in the Set source course language code field if it's something other than U.S. English (en-us). As you type, a list of available language codes appears. Click Export XLIFF File and save the file to your computer. Edit your exported XLIFF file with a web app, computer program, or professional translation service. If Include HTML formatting was selected, you'll see additional HTML tags and extra spaces in your exported XLIFF file. These are there to preserve your formatting when you import your translated file. Please note that question banks aren't translated when using the manual XLIFF export process. Questions drawn from question banks included in knowledge checks and quizzes are displayed in their original language. To translate question banks, add Articulate Localization to your subscription. Tip: Rise 360 uses XLIFF version 1.2. Step 3: Import Translated Text Once you've translated your content, import the file back into Rise 360. Open the duplicate content. Click the Settings icon in the upper right corner. On the Translations tab, expand Traditional XLIFF Translation. Under Import, 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 content,” 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 piece of content 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. 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. Let us know if you have any questions. We’re happy to help! Step 4: Translate Your Labels Once your content has been translated, translate your buttons and other built-in navigational elements. Click Settings in the upper right corner. Select the Labels tab. Follow the instructions in this article. Note: In order for the correct language to be assigned to your training so that assistive technologies can communicate the content with the correct presentation and pronunciation, labels must use the same ISO language code as your translated content. Translate Training into Multiple Languages For multiple-language training, we recommend Articulate Localization. Not only does it provide a streamlined experience for translating training into multiple languages, but it also offers a deep set of features custom-built for your translation needs. Contact our sales team to learn more.26KViews4likes0Comments
- Articulate 360 Teams: Managing Content When Users Leave Your TeamWhen a user leaves your team, you don’t always want their content to go with them—especially since that content may contain proprietary or other sensitive information. Articulate 360 Teams empowers you to choose what happens to a user’s shared and personal content when they leave, helping you maintain control of your intellectual property. Here’s how it works. Any content a user creates with Articulate 360 web apps, like Rise 360, is connected to their Articulate ID and is considered personal content. Once they share any of that content with the team, it becomes shared content, unless they unshare it. Shared content remains with the subscription, so it must be transferred to another team member before the user leaves the team. You also get to choose how to handle that user’s personal content—content connected to their Articulate ID but not shared with the team. You can either retain access to their personal content by transferring it along with the shared content or lose access to that content by allowing it to remain with the departing user. Note that once the user leaves your team and their email is deactivated, you'll completely lose access to their personal content unless you have transferred it before deactivation. The table below shows examples of personal and shared content to help you decide how to proceed. Personal Content Shared Content Rise 360 courses, microlearning, and question banks in the private directory Unshared Rise 360 block templates Review 360 items and folders in the private directory. Rise 360 courses, microlearning, and question banks in the team directory Shared Rise 360 block templates Review 360 items and folders in the team directory Storyline 360 shared team slides In most cases, you’ll want to include personal content when transferring content to another team member to maintain control of your team's intellectual property. However, not including personal content in a transfer can make sense in some specific scenarios. For example, when: A team member is leaving temporarily, and no one else needs to access their Rise 360 and Review 360 content before they return. A contractor or freelancer used their personal Articulate ID to join your team, and they have personal content connected to it. (When that happens, follow the tips in How Freelancers Work With Articulate 360 Teams.) No matter the situation, we’ve outlined the process and each option step by step below. Remove the User from Your Team Transfer Shared and Personal Content Transfer Only Shared Content Transfer Content to a New User When There's No Available License Remove the User from Your Team To get started with removing a user from your team, go to https://id.articulate.com/redirect/account and sign in with your Articulate ID email address and password. Then, click Manage Team on the left side of the screen and follow the steps below. (You must have either primary admin, 360 admin, or group manager permissions to see the Manage Team page.) Click their name from the list to launch the Edit permissions sidebar. Members with primary admin or 360 admin permissions can remove multiple users at once by selecting the checkboxes beside their names. Note that content from selected users with creator permissions may only be transferred to one member. Click the Remove from 360 link at the bottom. Click the Transfer to field to select a team member as the new owner of the removed user's shared content. You can type the first few letters of the receiver’s name to filter the list, as shown below. If the person you want to transfer content to hasn’t joined the team yet, invite them to the team and assign creator permissions first before removing the old user. You can transfer content to them when they accept your invitation to join the team. If there are no available licenses for the new user, see this section for workaround options. Choose either of the following options (See below for details on each option): Transfer Shared and Personal Content Transfer Only Shared Content Transfer Shared and Personal Content To remove a user and retain access to their personal content in the transfer, keep Include personal content selected and click Remove User, as shown below: What happens when you transfer the removed user's content to someone else? The user you removed from the team receives an email notification confirming that they were removed. The user also loses access to any Review 360 items with private share links. The new owner receives an email notification about the content transferred to them. They have full control over Rise 360 courses, microlearning, label sets, and block templates; Review 360 items (including Storyline 360 project backups) and review requests; and Storyline 360 team slides. (Learn where to find transferred content.). Rise 360 collaborator access and folder share settings for Rise 360 and Review 360 are also transferred to the new owner. Course collaborators on Rise 360 courses and shareable links for Rise 360 and Review 360 content remain the same, so everyone who has access can continue to use them. Who can you transfer content to? You can transfer content to any single team member with creator permissions. (Content can’t be divided among multiple users.) However, once the transfer is complete, the new owner can transfer Rise 360 courses to other team members. The new owner must be a member of your team with creator permissions. If they haven’t joined your team yet, invite them to the team and assign creator permissions first before removing the old user. You can transfer content to them once they’ve accepted your invitation to join the team. Does all the content from the original user get transferred? Yes, all of the user’s Rise 360 courses, microlearning, Review 360 items (including Storyline 360 project backups), review requests, and Storyline 360 team slides are transferred to the new owner. Rise 360 collaborator access and folder share settings for Rise 360 and Review 360 are also transferred to the new owner. Here's what the new owner sees. Transfer Only Shared Content To remove a user from your team without transferring their personal content, uncheck Include personal content before clicking Remove User, as shown below: What happens when you remove a user and don't include their personal content? The user receives an email notification confirming that they were removed. They lose access to any Review 360 items with private share links. The user’s private Rise 360 courses, microlearning, and Review 360 items (including Storyline 360 project backups) remain on our servers up to six months. During that time, shareable links for the projects continue to work, so your team can still view them. However, no one will be able to edit or manage them. Any collaborators will have their access to the content revoked. If the user rejoins your team, joins another team, or buys an individual subscription with the same email address within six months, they’ll have full control of their private Rise 360 content and Review 360 items again. The new owner of the shared content receives an email notification about the content transferred to them. They have full control over Rise 360 courses and microlearning in the team directory, label sets, and shared block templates; Review 360 items in the team directory (including Storyline 360 project backups) and review requests; and Storyline 360 team slides. Learn more. Rise 360 collaborator access from shared content and folder share settings for Rise 360 and Review 360 are also transferred to the new owner. Transfer Content to a New User When There's No Available License What happens if you need to transfer a removed user’s content to a new user, but you’ve used up your team’s available creator licenses? You have two workaround options: Temporarily assign group manager permissions to the new user Remove the old user and temporarily keep their content unowned within the subscription Temporarily Assign Group Manager Permissions to the New User To use this workaround, you’ll need to create a new group for the member being removed, assign group manager permissions for that group to the new user, and then ask the new user to remove the former member and transfer the license and content to themselves. (Group manager permissions only allow access to users within their group. They won’t have access to other users and subscription settings, and they don’t use up a creator license.) Here’s how to do that, step by step: Create a new group without assigning a license. Move the user who left your team to this new group. Add the new user to your team, temporarily enable manager permissions, and assign them as a group manager for the new group. Group managers don’t consume licenses. When the new user accepts your invitation to join the team, ask them to remove the user who left your team and transfer the content to themselves. You can share these additional instructions: Please follow these steps to transfer the license and the previous user’s content: Sign in to the Manage Team page: https://id.articulate.com/redirect/manage using [new user’s email address] Search for [email address of the user who left your team] and click it. Click the Remove from 360 link at the bottom of the sidebar. Click the Transfer to field and select your name from the dropdown. [Select/Deslect - decide whether to include personal content or not] the Include personal content checkbox. Click Remove user to accept the terms and complete the process. The new user becomes the content owner, taking the license vacated by the user you removed and automatically getting creator permissions. If you don’t want the new user to continue to have group manager permissions, disable that permission. They’ll still have creator permissions and own the content that was transferred to them. Remove the old user and keep their content unowned within the subscription This approach lets you remove the user and temporarily keep their private and shared content as unowned within the subscription. Once you’ve assigned a license to the new user, contact us and we’ll transfer the content. Follow these steps to proceed: Remove the user’s creator permissions on the Manage Team page using any of these methods: Disable the Create toggle at the top of the Edit permissions sidebar. Click the Remove from 360 link at the bottom of the Edit permissions sidebar. Click the Transfer to field and select None - do not transfer content. We will keep personal and shared content in an unowned state until you’re ready to transfer it to another team member. Skip this step if you only have one license in your subscription. Click Confirm or Remove User to free up the creator license. Assign the creator license to the new user who will receive the content. Have the member with primary admin permissions contact us with the following information, and we’ll transfer the unowned content to the new team member. Subscription number or name Email address of the user that was removed from the team Email address of the new user who will receive the removed user's content22KViews2likes0Comments
- Articulate Localization: Create Multi-Language Rise 360 CoursesWith Articulate Localization, you can translate course and microlearning content into 80+ languages and manage all the language versions as a single project, right from the Rise 360 dashboard. Watch the video to learn how to translate and share the translations with validators. Then read on for more details on managing multi-language courses. Translate a Course Early-Access Course Stacks Translate Text Updates Manage Languages Add or Replace a Language Remove a Language Capture Course Stack Versions with Snapshots Save a Copy of a Language Tips Add Collaborators Localize Video and Audio Assets Understand Question Banks Include Right-to-Left Languages Translate Storyline Blocks for Use in Rise 360 Courses Translate a Course Before translating your course, run through this checklist to avoid common issues. Prepare your course for AI translation with the following best practices: Avoid using all caps to emphasize certain words. AI translation often interprets this as an acronym and won’t translate it. Avoid splitting a sentence into multiple text blocks, as this removes necessary context for effective translation. Avoid using emojis. Their meanings can vary across cultures, and machine translation tools may not interpret them accurately. Use proper grammar. Simplify formatting. Complex formatting can create challenges for all forms of AI translation. Here are some best practices: Don’t format spaces. Let Rise 360 handle text wrapping. Using shift+enter to manually insert line breaks will impact other languages, where it won’t always be appropriate. Scan through your content one more time for terms that might need to be added to the AI translation glossary. The glossary specifies how terms are translated—or not translated. For example, you might have a specific term for “service” in a particular language. Or you may want to make sure your brand name does not get translated. Once you’ve double-checked your course, follow these steps to get started with Localization: In your dashboard, hover over the content tile for the course you want to localize, click the more (...) icon, and select Translate. A translation dialog will appear. You can confirm the source language, select one or more target languages, and adjust the formality if the languages support that option. Choose a glossary for the translation run. This glossary will be used for all succeeding translations for this course, including updates. Click Translate. Rise 360 will create a multi-language course with all the language versions presented as a single course “stack”. The course stack tile on the dashboard indicates how many languages are in the stack, as shown below. Multi-language courses share the same theme and structure. If you add, move, or delete a block, lesson, or section in one language, those changes will apply to all other languages in the course. Other factors to note: Clicking the tile opens an overview page that lists all the current languages in a sidebar and allows you to preview each language. Click EDIT COURSE to make changes to any language version. The language dropdown on the top left lets you switch between languages while authoring, as shown below. Here are some guidelines to keep in mind when choosing a language from the dropdown: Stay in the source language if you want to make changes in all languages, such as updating course content, adding new blocks, lessons, or sections, and changing themes. Switch to a target language if you want to make language-specific changes, such as replacing media assets, editing existing text, and changing course labels. Custom label sets are not translated, but translated courses will automatically have default label sets for each target language. If you prefer to use custom label sets, you can assign them to individual language versions after translation. Images, audio, and video assets will be the same across all languages after translation. Any changes you make to the media—such as alt text or image alignment—in the source language will be applied to all target languages. You can have language-specific media by modifying the media asset in the target language. Remember that editing a target language disconnects the asset from the source language, so any changes made to the source won’t be applied moving forward. Similarly, code blocks will be the same across all languages after translation. You can have language-specific code blocks by modifying the code for each language after translation. If you accidentally choose the wrong glossary, translate the course again and select the current languages to enable the Glossary field. Custom blocks are not currently supported for Localization. Early-Access Course Stacks Multi-language courses created during our early-access program will have an [Early Access] tag on the course tile and course stack. This older version has the following differences: When you add languages to a Rise course, each translated language becomes a separate copy of the original course, so changes you make to one language version will not affect other languages. To edit an individual language, switch to it in the sidebar and click the Edit button in the top navigation bar. Any changes you make affect only the language you are currently editing. There’s no option to translate updates to the source language and publish a single-package, multi-language output. Learn more about the early-access version of multi-language Rise 360 courses. Refer to this user guide when working on this version. Translate Text Updates Rise 360 detects text changes made to your source language after the last translation run. It allows you to translate these changes without affecting other portions of the course. If the unchanged portions have imported validation suggestions, these will be preserved. Here's how it works. Update existing text or add blocks to your source language. A blue notification dot appears on the language dropdown on the top left. Click the language dropdown and select Back to Stack. From the course stack, click Update Translation to translate only the text updates you made for all existing target languages. When the translation run completes, the Update Translation option disappears. Additional information: Text updates are determined by translation units called text segments. A text segment breaks down the source text into smaller parts while retaining its meaning in context. Segments can vary in length and structure—from single words to complex sentences or even short paragraphs, depending on context. In Rise 360, a segment is typically the text in a block. Any text change in a segment will retranslate the whole segment. You can see how your course is broken down into segments when you publish to Review 360 and view the translation table. If your course has already been validated, follow the tips in this article to request validation for only the updated content in Review 360. Importing validation suggestions or updating text in the target languages will not enable the Update Translation option. Adding blocks, lessons, or sections to any target language will also apply to other languages, but they won't get translated. If you accidentally added them to the target language, simply delete them and recreate them in the source language. You can’t duplicate or send a copy of the multi-language course until all pending translations are updated. Translating updates within the same Articulate 360 subscription contract term does not affect your total purchased translation. Manage Languages You can add or remove languages from a multi-language project and create snapshots at any time. You can also save a copy of a language as a separate course. Add or Replace a Language To add or replace (retranslate) a language, re-run the translation tool by selecting Translate from the stack tile option in the dashboard or clicking Translate at the bottom left of the stack overview. If the language exists in the course stack or the Archived Translations folder, click Translate again to overwrite existing versions. Note: Retranslating or using AI translation for existing languages in a multi-language course within the same Articulate 360 subscription contract term does not affect your total purchased translation count. However, if you duplicate the multi-language course or send a copy to someone else, any new translations on the copy—including translating text updates—will be counted. Remove a Language To remove a language, click the ellipses (...) beside the language from the stack overview, and choose Archive. The language moves to the Archived Translation folder at the bottom left. You can restore or permanently delete the language from the Archived Translation folder. Retranslating archived languages will also permanently delete the versions in the Archived Translations folder. Capture Course Stack Versions with Snapshots Create and manage snapshots of your multi-language courses by selecting the Snapshots menu next to the course title in the course stack overview page. Similar to single-language snapshots, versions are automatically generated whenever you publish a multi-language course. You can also save different versions and restore them as needed. Key points to remember: Snapshots are not available in early-access versions. Snapshots created before you translated the course are still included. While you can't revert to these pre-translation versions, you can save them as a new course or microlearning. Restoring an earlier version won't impact your translation count. If any languages are removed during a restore, retranslating them is free, as long as you do this within the same billing period. Save a Copy of a Language To save a language as a separate course or microlearning, click the ellipses (...) beside the language from the stack overview, and choose Save as. Give the copy a name and click Save. The copy is saved in the same folder as the multi-language project and includes the default label set for the corresponding language. The label set is also added to the list of built-in label sets under Course Settings. Tips Add Collaborators You can add collaborators to your multi-language course in three ways: Click Share > View collaborators from the course stack or while editing the course to add them via course settings. From your Rise dashboard, hover over the content tile for the course, click the More (...) icon, and select Share to add them via share settings. If the course already has collaborators, a Share Settings option displays instead. Hover over the content tile for the course from your Rise dashboard, click the More (...) icon, and select Move to move the course to a team folder. Everyone who has collaborator access to the team folder you choose will have the same access to the course. You can add anyone with an Articulate 360 Teams subscription, but they must be on a subscription with Articulate Localization to access course stacks. Note that course managers and editors can view and edit multi-language courses. However, only course managers can manage languages. Course managers can also initiate course translations or add new languages if they have translation access within the same subscription. Collaborators without access to Articulate Localization can’t access the course stacks, but course managers can save separate copies of each language to their account when they try to launch the course stack. Localizing Video and Audio Assets Localize video assets automatically by adding closed captions before translation. Captions translate along with other course text when you add new languages. They’re also included in the validation process when you publish to Review 360 for validation. Validators can play the video and click the CC button to display the captions. Learn how to add closed captions to videos. For blocks with audio, you can add transcripts after recording or uploading your narration. These transcripts will be translated automatically. To include a transcript: Enable the Transcribe audio file toggle when you upload or record audio. Or, generate text-to-speech with AI Assistant, which automatically includes transcripts. Read on for instructions. If you have AI Assistant and the target language is supported, you can create AI-generated text-to-speech from translated text. Here’s how Include a text version of your narration in the course, either in the block or as an audio transcript. Translate your course or microlearning. Publish your course to Review 360 for validation. Validators will also see the transcripts as they review the whole course. When the validation process is complete, follow these steps to generate text-to-speech for each audio asset in the target language or languages: To use text from the audio transcript: Click the Options (...) icon on the right of the audio player and select Edit transcript. Select the transcript text, press CTRL+C to copy, and then click X or Cancel to exit. Click the Options (...) icon again, then choose Edit audio. Paste the copied text into the script field. Choose your preferred voice from the Voice drop-down menu. Click Generate Speech at the bottom. Click Insert to add the audio to your course. To use text from the block: Click the Options (...) icon, then choose Edit audio. Click the insert block text link above the script field to add the block’s text. Choose your preferred voice from the Voice drop-down menu. Click Generate Speech at the bottom. Click Insert to add the audio to your course. For language-specific media assets, upload them directly to the target language to avoid affecting other languages. Learn more about adding language-specific media. Understand Question Banks Questions drawn from question banks are translated together with the course. When publishing to Review 360 for validation, we recommend including all the questions from the question bank so validators can review them. Learn more about using question banks in knowledge checks and quizzes. Include Right-to-Left Languages Rise 360 supports multi-language courses with both left-to-right and right-to-left language versions. In edit mode, right-to-left language versions are in a left-to-right layout, but they will automatically adjust to right-to-left layouts when the course is previewed, reviewed, or published. Translate Storyline Blocks for Use in Rise 360 Courses Storyline blocks must be translated and validated through Storyline 360 before the translated versions can be embedded in Rise 360 content. Here’s one approach we suggest: Finalize your Rise 360 course and Storyline blocks in your source language. Translate, validate, and import suggestions for the Rise 360 course in Rise 360. Translate, validate, and import suggestions for the Storyline blocks in Storyline 360. After completing the Localization workflow in Storyline 360, publish the final version of the multi-language Storyline course to Review 360. Embed each Storyline language version to the corresponding language in the Rise 360 course. Follow these steps: Launch the Rise 360 course and click Edit Course. Click the language dropdown on the top left and select one of the target languages. Navigate to the Storyline block and click the pencil icon to edit. When the sidebar opens, click Change and select the Storyline course for this language. Each language version will have the title suffixed with the language code, such as “Onboarding Course - FR” or “Onboarding Course - DE.” If you use a single Storyline file for multiple Storyline blocks, you can publish the whole project to Review 360 for validation. Consider these options to ensure your validators are aware of the different slides/scenes: Instruct them to use the course overview navigation dropdown in the Translation tab in Review 360. (Note: The Translation tab isn’t available in the source language.) Enable the Storyline 360 player menu during the validation process. After validation, hide the player menu and republish the final version for embedding these scenes/slides as Storyline blocks. To publish slides or scenes as separate Review 360 items, save each language as a separate file—including the source language—to turn them into single-language project files. The Review 360 items can then be inserted as separate Storyline blocks. However, localization features like course updates, language validation, and multi-language workflow management won't be available for these copies.12KViews17likes0Comments
- Reach 360: Modify Custom Domain SettingsYou can already customize your subdomain in Reach 360, but what if you want to take things to the next level with a completely custom domain that you already own? If you know how to add records to your domain name system (DNS) provider and then point your Reach 360 account to the new address, you're ready to go. Once that's done, you can even have learner notifications come from your own custom email! As soon as you’ve added the records to your DNS provider and everything is set up in Reach 360, traffic from your subdomain redirects to your new custom domain. Read on for detailed instructions. Set Up a Custom Domain Create a CNAME Record Enter Your Domain Address Specify a Custom Email Address FAQs Set Up a Custom Domain A custom domain is one that you own and control, usually purchased through a domain registrar. To make your custom domain appear as the URL for Reach 360, you need access to the settings for your registered domain (usually via the site where it was purchased) as well as owner-level access to your Reach 360 settings. Step 1: Creating a CNAME Record To add a custom domain to your Reach 360 account, start by adding a CNAME record to your DNS records. This masks your Reach 360 site's name by pointing the subdomain to the custom domain you own. Depending on whether you use a U.S. or EU data center for Reach 360, the CNAME record should follow this formula, including the dot after your hostname: U.S. Data Center your custom hostname. 60 IN CNAME custom.reach360.com. EU Data Center your custom hostname. 60 IN CNAME custom.reach360.eu. For example, if you wanted the hostname for your current Reach 360 site, glivy.reach360.com , to instead be learn.glivy.com , you would create a CNAME record in your DNS records that looked like this: U.S. Data Center learn.glivy.com. 60 IN CNAME custom.reach360.com. EU Data Center learn.glivy.com. 60 IN CNAME custom.reach360.eu. The steps to creating a CNAME for your site vary depending on the domain provider, but generally, you’ll need to add the CNAME directly to your DNS records. If you need additional assistance, contact the site where you registered your domain name. You may also need to set up a Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) record to specify which certificate authorities (CAs) are allowed to issue certificates for the domain. Note: Custom domain masking works only with web addresses that contain at least third-level domains. For example, learn.glivy.com and www.glivy.com are compatible, while glivy.com is not. Step 2: Enter Your Domain Address Once you’ve set up your CNAME record (and CAA record, if applicable), it’s time to make the switch! In Reach 360: Navigate to Manage > Settings. Under URL (visible to the primary admin only), click Manage Custom Domain. Select Use my own domain and enter your custom domain URL. Click Save Changes to complete the redirect from your current Reach 360 subdomain to your new custom domain. Once the custom domain is validated, everyone in your account is notified of the change via email. If you want to return to your original subdomain after the redirect is complete, click Change and select Use a Reach 360 domain. Note: If you wish to use a different custom domain URL after you've already set a custom domain, you must first switch back to your original subdomain before you make any DNS changes. Once you've switched to a Reach 360 subdomain, repeat the steps above. Specify a Custom Email Address Once you add a custom domain to your Reach 360 account, you can specify a custom email address for learner invites and training notifications. This replaces the default Reach 360 email address. Follow the steps below to get started. Under Email, select Use my own email domain. Enter your custom email address and click Save. This email must already be set up with your domain provider. Note: This email must use the same domain as your custom domain. Custom emails always begin with notifications-no-reply and end with your custom domain. You can only modify the 4th level of the address (the part directly after the @ symbol). For example: notifcations-no-reply@custom.learn.glivy.com Once your custom email is saved, the values needed to update your provider settings are displayed. Access your domain provider's DNS settings. Follow the instructions for your provider to create a new TXT record using the Hostname and DKIM values. You'll also need to add a CNAME record using the CNAME value along with your custom email domain. Note that these values are displayed only until you refresh or navigate away from this page. Copy and keep them in a safe place for future reference. Click Start Postmark Verification to begin the verification process. This can take up to 48 hours (but is often less). Check your inbox for confirmation that your custom email domain has been verified. If we're unable to verify your email address, you'll receive an email with additional information. Until the email is verified, learner emails and training notifications will continue to be sent from your default Reach 360 email. If you remove or change your custom domain, your custom email reverts to the default Reach 360 address. FAQs What happens to my original Reach 360 subdomain when I use a custom domain? Masking with a custom domain preserves your original subdomain (unlike when you change your subdomain). If you ever stop using your custom domain, your Reach 360 URL will revert to your original subdomain. Will my custom email address remain if I stop using my custom domain? Email notifications return to their default address if your custom domain is disabled. If I change my custom email address, do I have to repeat the setup? If you change or reactivate your custom email address, any records you created for your domain provider are invalidated. You must repeat the setup steps using the new values provided4.9KViews0likes0Comments

- Storyline 360: Choosing Player Colors, Fonts, and Button StylesPersonalize the player frame around your slide content with colors and fonts that complement your course design or match your brand. And if you’re using the modern player, you can also choose a button style—icons, text, or both icons and text. Choose Colors, Fonts, and Button Styles for the Modern Player Choose Colors and Fonts for the Classic Player Choose Colors, Fonts, and Button Styles for the Modern Player Here’s how to customize colors, fonts, and button styles for the modern player: Go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click Player. When the player properties appear, make sure the Player Style is set to Modern. (Learn more about choosing a player style.) Click Colors & Effects on the ribbon, then choose your colors, fonts, and button styles. Customize Player Features Player Theme: Select the built-in Dark or Light player theme with predefined neutral tones when you want your content to be the focus of learners’ attention. Select the Custom option to create your own player theme with colors that match your brand or course design. Page Background Color: When you lock the player size or turn off menus and controls, you’ll have an option to customize the page background color that learners see around the outside of your course. Accent Color: Choose an accent color from the color selector (the default accent color choices come from your theme colors). The accent color is used throughout the modern player to tie it all together. For example, the accent color highlights the current slide in the menu, identifies the selected tab in the sidebar, and shows the progress of the seekbar. Accessibility Focus Colors: Set two accessibility focus colors—one light and one dark—so the focus indicator is visible on any background. The accessibility focus rectangle lets sighted keyboard-only users see which object is currently selected. Font: Choose a player font and font size for the text that appears throughout the player, including the course title, the menu, and navigation buttons. The size percentage defaults to 100%, but you can choose any percentage between 75% and 200%. If your course has video transcripts, the font and font size you select for all player elements also applies to transcript text. Navigation Buttons: By default, navigation buttons display both icons and text—i.e., arrows and text for previous and next buttons as well as text and check marks for submit buttons. You can switch to just icons or text instead. (Navigation buttons will always be icons on smartphones due to the limited screen space.) Tip: To customize the text for navigation buttons, edit the text labels in your player properties. Customize Closed Captions Change the foreground and background colors of your closed captions. Turn the text shadow on or off to improve caption readability when using certain text and background color combinations. Choose a caption font and font size. The size percentage defaults to 100%, but you can choose any percentage between 75% and 200%. Position captions at the bottom or top of the slide. Choose Colors and Fonts for the Classic Player Note: Classic player colors and fonts only work on desktop and laptop computers—except the captions font, which works on all devices, including tablets and smartphones. Explore this interactive demo to know which classic player properties work on mobile devices. Here’s how to customize colors and fonts for the classic player: Go to the Home tab on the ribbon and click Player. When the player properties appear, make sure the Player Style is set to Classic. (Learn more about choosing a player style.) Click Colors & Effects on the ribbon, then choose your colors and fonts. Choose a Color Scheme Choose a built-in color scheme or a custom color scheme that you previously created from the Color scheme drop-down list. The preview pane on the right side of the window will automatically update so you can see how your color scheme looks. Create a Custom Color Scheme Here’s how to create a custom color scheme: Click Show advanced color editing to reveal additional color options. Choose the portion of the player you want to customize from the Edit item drop-down list. (Download this job aid to identify which player colors affect each player element.) Use the color selector to choose a new color. (If you see top and bottom colors, it means the item is a gradient composed of two colors.) To apply transparency to the item you're modifying, enter a percentage in the Transparency field. (Transparency isn’t available for all items.) Repeat steps 2-4 for each player element you want to customize. If you change your mind and want to undo the edits you made, click the Reset button (it looks like a window icon with a backward-pointing arrow). Save a Custom Color Scheme to Reuse It in Other Projects By default, a custom color scheme is only stored in the project file you’re currently working on. If you want to reuse a custom color scheme in other Storyline projects, just click the Save button, give your color scheme a name, and click OK. When you save a custom color scheme, it appears in the Color scheme drop-down list so you can apply it to any Storyline course you create. A saved color scheme is stored in the current project file and in the following directory on your computer: %AppData%\Articulate\Storyline\360\Frames\StoryFrame\ColorSchemes Delete a Custom Color Scheme To remove a custom color scheme, select it from the Color scheme drop-down, then click the Delete button. (Built-in color schemes can’t be deleted.) The deleted scheme will no longer appear in your color choices. However, if you delete a color scheme that's applied to another course, it won't be removed from that course; it'll just be stored in that particular project file. Choose a Page Background Color The page background color appears behind your published course. Learners may see this color around the outside of your player frame. And if you made the base of your player transparent, the page background color will show through the player. Use the Page background selector to choose a color. The color palette comes from your theme colors. If you don't see the color you want, click More Colors to enter a custom color value. Select Your Fonts and Set the Font Size Choose a Player font for the text that appears throughout the player, including the course title, the menu, and navigation buttons. If your course has closed captions, you can also choose a Captions font. And you can increase or decrease the font size for all player elements and closed captions as a single unit by adjusting the Player font size percentage. It defaults to 100%, but you can choose any percentage between 75% and 200%.2.6KViews0likes0Comments
