I recently upgraded to the Articulate Presenter '13 suite and was wondering if it is possible to embed an Engage '13 interaction into another '13 interaction and it was for Engage '09. I found that Jeanette Brooks had posted a screencast under the Articulate Engage '09 Product Support, but the files are not the same in '13. I know that Articulate Support doesn't support the steps provided, but it is a cool idea and I would like to try and incorporate if anyone has suggestions or has had it work.
Hi Grace! Hopefully someone in the community will be able to pop in and assist you. I am not aware of an example where someone has accomplished this goal.
Tammy and Grace - I just did this. If you have Studio 13 and take a Presenter '09 interaction, with embedded engage interactions and open it in Presenter '13, when you go to preview, publish, or edit your embedded engage interactions, it will upgrade the engage pieces automatically.
As for embedding an engage interaction in another engage interaction, I'm mystified why one would do this. Seems to me a better solution would be to build the interaction in Presenter (which you can emulate the look of engage. It's hard, but you can do it) and embed the engage interaction and thus use a supported method. I went through this with a partner company. They needed their interactions to be HTML 5. And because it was engage embedded in presenter, a supported method, it was a simple 20 min task.
In reality, the best solution is Storyline 3, which is where those courses will be refreshed. Engage is a great tool, but Storyline doesn't have any of Presenter or Engage's restraints. Worth the investment.

Hi Angela!
You're right, this is not a supported method and I am not aware of users accomplishing this with Engage 13.
Perhaps someone in the community will be able to assist you though.
I also am converting an older Presenter to the upgraded version -- we have embedded interactions too.. any word from anyone on how to do? Thanks!
Same here. I'm trying to do that as well, but haven't found how. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
