General
What is Reach 360 and how is it different from an LMS?
Reach 360 is a lightweight distribution tool to deploy your e-learning content. Unlike a traditional LMS, Reach 360 requires practically no implementation time, meaning you can get started in just a few days instead of months. It's the flexible, cost-effective add-on to your existing Articulate 360 Teams plan that enables your organization to reach more learners, directly.
Do I need an LMS to use Reach 360?
You don't need an LMS to use Reach 360. It can complement your existing LMS if your organization uses one. While an LMS is great for internal employees, Reach 360 lets you more easily connect with all your learner groups like deskless workers and external audiences.
Who's included in my Reach 360 subscription?
Since it's an add-on to your Articulate 360 Teams plan, all seatholders and admins on your Articulate 360 Teams subscription are automatically users. Seatholders can publish to and admins can manage content in Reach 360.
The rest of your users list is comprised of learners. You can work with our sales specialists to plan for the right subscription size. Learn more about managing users in Reach 360.
Can I try Reach 360?
Yes! If you have an existing Articulate 360 subscription, reach out to us and we'll set you up with a 30-day trial.
What happens to my data when my Reach 360 trial/subscription expires?
When your subscription ends, we keep your content for six months after your paid subscription expires or at least three months after your free trial ends. If you'd prefer we delete your data as soon as your subscription ends, let us know and we'll take care of it right away.

Manage Users
Can I bulk upload learners? Can learners self-register?

Can I create distinct learner groups?
Yes! Reach 360 comes with group management features so you can provide tailored content to different learner groups. You can also create custom libraries and control content visibility based on group membership.
Can I customize Reach 360 with my branding?
In your Reach 360 settings, you can add a company logo and set your brand color. Reach 360 also supports custom subdomains (the part of the URL that appears before reach360.com i.e. glivy.reach360.com) You can request a subdomain when you sign up. Have an idea for additional customization options? We'd love to hear from you.

Absolutely! You can import third-party content from the Course section of the Manage tab. Third-party training must be exported in SCORM 2004 or SCORM 1.2 format.
Can my Articulate 360 team have more than one Reach 360 instance? What if I'm a member of multiple Articulate 360 teams?
Each Articulate 360 team can have only one Reach 360 instance associated with their account. If you're an admin or seatholder on multiple Articulate 360 teams, each with a Reach 360 instance, you'll be prompted to select which you'd like to access when clicking Reach 360 on your dashboard.
If a seatholder or admin is deleted from my Articulate 360 team, what happens to the user in Reach 360?
Seatholders are automatically removed from Reach 360 when you delete them from your Articulate 360 team. If you invite them as a Reach 360 learner with the same email address, all their training information will be retained.
Manage Training
How do I publish content from Storyline 360 and Rise 360 to Reach 360?
Content creators and collaborators just have to select the Reach 360 option when publishing their content. From there, a Reach 360 admin completes the publishing process.
Is there a size limit for content I submit or import?
Whether submitting directly or importing third-party training, content packages must be less than 5GB.
How do I update Reach 360 content?
When authors make changes in Rise 360 or Storyline 360 to previously published training and submit that content for publication, Reach 360 recognizes the updated content and prompts admins to publish the new changes.
Copies of Rise 360 training are treated as new content when submitted. For Storyline 360, you can't use "Save As" copies of projects to submit updates.
