I just came across a thread yesterday that discusses incompatibility with Studio 13 and SL. If you scroll to the bottom, you'll see Nancy W's statement: The new version of Engage does support html5 and the mobile player but you can't import into Storyline yet.
Currently, Articulate Storyline doesn't support importing content from Articulate Presenter '13, Articulate Quizmaker '13, or Articulate Engage '13. We're working to make this feature available in a free update for Storyline.
I just bought engage'13 with the assumption that it can import into Storyline. I'm confused because on there is an option on the start menu that says Import from Engage. When I tried to import from the trial version it said that I couldn't import from the trial. Why is there an option on the start menu if you can't import. Is there a way to merge my engage projects into one? In Presenter maybe?
Hi Rebecca! The option exists in Storyline because you can import from Engage '09. Currently you cannot import from Engage '13, but it will be available in a future Storyline Update. You can still use your Engage if you would like to add it as a web object, or you could put multiple Engage Interactions into Presenter as well.
This presents a serious problem for me. I was used to importing Engage '09 and Quizmaker '09 elements into Storyline. I recently upgraded to Studio '13. I wish I was aware of that before upgrading to '13. Now what am I supposed to do? Can I get a copy of Studio '09 and reinstall over studio '13?
Our team is working on making the import functionality part of a future Storyline update, but in the meantime you could use the method mentioned by Leslie to add it as a web object. Additionally, you can download Studio 09 here. Studio 09 and Studio 13 may not run on the same computer, but you could set them up on say a desktop and a laptop, or use a virtual machine to run one in.
Any news on when Storyline will be updated to allow Engage13 to be imported? I want to buy it as its fab but will need to use as part of larger Storyline courses...
Is the survey here because it's evident that you can't get Storyline to import with a quick fix???
In my opinion, both pieces of software are very important and being able to use them together is MORE important.
Why? Because, in a nutshell, Storyline is great for telling stories and Presenter (Engage and Quizmaker) is great for stating the facts.
If one is working with a bunch of facts, it's silly to create a bunch of "scenarios" sometimes, to relay these facts, IMO. But sometimes it's nice to take a break from all the rigidity and animate, etc.
Bottom line I think is... "Why didn't this work before you unleashed new software?"
Actually, importing from engage 09 into storyline 13 doesnt work for me aswell. I downloaded the trial version of engage 09, to give it a try, but still received the message : " The version of Engage installed on this system is not compatible with import, please install version 2.0 or higher" , despite im using version 09.
You mentioned downloading the trial of Engage 09, did you already have Studio 13 on your computer? You can only have one version on a computer (although you could host one in a virtual machine and then one on your local machine). You'll also want to ensure that both the Engage 09 file and your Storyline file are on a local drive while you're editing. If you're still having difficulty can you share the Engage interaction file here with us?
I have imported the Engage '13 files into Storyline as the directions stated and the engage files work on most of the computers we have tried but not on others. We have updated Flash, the internet browsers and shockwave but the engage files are still not working while the rest of the course works fine. What am I missing? I don't have an extra computer to try the Engage '09 option. If I were to do this would the Engage '13 files work in '09 or will I need to rebuild them?
What's different between the computers where the Engage files work and those that don't? Also, are you testing the published version of these within the intended environment? Testing it locally could be what is causing the problem. If you're testing it within the publish environment and it's still inconsistent across computers, please let us know a bit more about what you've tried (browsers, flash, where it's hosted, etc.) and if you could share the Storyline course with us as well we can take a look.
Engage '13 files won't work within Engage '09, so you'd need to rebuild them.
Thanks! I was sharing it as a zipped filed and that was the problem... not that it is hosted on a website it seems to be working. I think we have gotten some of this figured out!
One other question about improrting- the audio in the engage files that has been imported starts early- before the used reaches the slide and then overlaps. I saw some other post about this with quizzes and layers but for me this is happening between separate slides (that have imported Web objects. Could someone take a look at it for me? Thanks!
If you're able to share it here, we're happy to take a look. Please let us know more about how your testing the course (browser, web vs. lms, etc.) so that we can try to replicate the testing on our end.
I haven't seen Rebecca's set up - but she mentioned Engage 09 and web objects (a method to embed Engage '13 content), so I can't say for certain what has happened on her end. In regards to importing Studio '13 content into Storyline it is still not available, but our team is working on it.

Great!
Thanks Leslie and Becky...

No problem Michael!
Wow, ok Tks Leslie and Rebecca!!
Of course Jorge
Hi Michael
Tx for the question, Jorge. Now we all have confirmation. Glad it's going to be fixed.
Any word on when the Storyline update will be available so we can import studio '13 projects?

Hi Louise,
No official announcements for the release date just yet. I know we're all pretty anxious to see the newer content supported in Storyline :)
We'll be sure to update any related threads as soon as we hear more.
Thanks!
Hi everyone! Please provide some specific feedback on Importing Studio '13 to Storyline here: goo.gl/OzUMju
Thanks!

So, based on Rebecca's response, can we finally import Engage '13 interactions into Storyline?
Hi Gayla,
I haven't seen Rebecca's set up - but she mentioned Engage 09 and web objects (a method to embed Engage '13 content), so I can't say for certain what has happened on her end. In regards to importing Studio '13 content into Storyline it is still not available, but our team is working on it.
