Alice, probably good to acclimate any plants from shade to sun in a slow way. There's morning sun and there's afternoon sun, so need to take that into consideration. I will initially move plants out for 15 minutes and then move back into shade for that day. After a number of days, I would then extend the time they are out in the sun. Do check for effects of the sun on the leaves as too much sun too soon will show telltale signs of burn marks and/or rosettes could show wilting. A couple of weeks (time may vary depending on type of exposure) without any negative effects may lead to their acclimation.
I have morning sun and in my case I think my plants don't get enough sun but it's the forgetting to water and then driying out/dying of the small offsets that show me I haven't been a good semp mama... Crying
