I am creating a powerpoint and I have Articulate 360. I have Engage as an option in powerpoint. I created an interactivity in Engage through PP but when I go back to my slide deck the Engage slide has the slide information(how many slides, edit feature, etc.) but not the actual interactivity. How do I get the interactivity in to my slide. Thank you.
I'm happy to help! You'll want to publish the interaction in Engage first, and then import it to Presenter or PowerPoint. This support article that walks you through this in great detail.
This is how my slide is presenting in Power Point. I have no idea how to change it. What I see in the tutorials do not match I see. For ex., I do not have a Publish only button.
It looks like something didn't quite take for that Engage interaction. I would try republishing the interaction to Presenter to see if that helps. To do this, you will want to open the Engage interaction in Engage 360 >> From the home page, click on the Publish button on the top right >> then click on the tab Articulate Presenter:
Maybe I am accessing this the wrong way. The interaction is still not coming up in my power point only a properties page for the interaction. Do I have to leave the PP in order to access the interaction?
So I have to hit one of the edit button to access the interaction? If someone is viewing the presentation for educational purposes, I wouldn't want them to edit, I just want the interaction. How do i accomplish that?
Man, sorry for being such a dunce. So I have to publish it to Articulate 360 first? I can't keep it in PP mode and have the Engage interaction? This is my first time using Engage. I looked at the published file and it just ran through each slide at breakneck speed. Why is that? I only 1,001 questions. Thank you so much for your help.
You are correct. To use the additional add-ins, like Engage and Quizmaker, the course will need to be published for your learners. It's more than a PowerPoint presentation at that point and you're using the functionality of Presenter.
The slide advancement can be adjusted. I took another look and your slides are set to automatically advance:
You can adjust this to 'By user' to require the interaction with your project along with a self-paced learning environment.
Leslie, Leslie, Leslie, thank you for being so helpful. So one last question for now. I noticed that some of the graphics didn't feed over. i don't understand that. I know if I have animation that might be a problem but the graphics? For ex., on one slide I have 4 bars but only 3 transferred over. Any thoughts on that? Again, thank you.
Well it is slide 9 the bars are there but the wording is missing from bar 3 and it looks different. Leslie, I am going go out and do some training. i don't want to keep bothering and this is getting extremely frustrating. i can't even open on my end here. I keep getting an error message.
Does Articulate have an IT department. Presenter 360 is doing all sorts of strange things. It is adding a blank PP slide each time a try to publish. It has added a line through the middle of all of my PP slides. I get an error message each time I try to publish as well
Sorry to hear that! You can try doing a quick repair to see if that helps with the erratic behavior, and you want to be sure that you're working locally as well.
And to answer your question, we do have a support team ready and able to help! They're available 24/7 and can help you troubleshoot your file should you need it.
Leslie, I'm back and not so frustrated today. It must have been something locally here, I was able to publish it this morning and view it. Thank you so much. Ok, now, how can I get rid of those lines in the presentation that was created when I tried to publish this to Articulate? Ren, I don't know if this is an IT problem or not. I've published this but the only way I see to access to view in it's entirety in Presenter is in Articulate review. Am I missing something? Thank you very, very much.
When reviewing your course, which lines are you wanting to remove? I see the bars that you mention on Slide 9, but I am not too sure which lines are being referred to here. May I ask if you could share a screenshot of what you are seeing?
Great question on publishing! Depending on the option selected to publish the course, there usually is another step that needs to be taken to view the course entirely. As an example, if you choose the publish to web option, the zipped file of the course would need to be uploaded to a web server.
Since those files have been prepared for web delivery, you might encounter unexpected behavior when viewing the course on your local hard drive. It’s best to upload your published output to a web server for proper testing. We have a great resource on the different publishing options here: Presenter 360: Previewing and Publishing a Course.

Hi Lawrence!
I'm happy to help! You'll want to publish the interaction in Engage first, and then import it to Presenter or PowerPoint. This support article that walks you through this in great detail.
Let me know where you might be getting stuck!
Hello Lauren! Well I am stuck at square 1. As far as i know I have published the Interaction. I have no clue. LOL!
Hi Lawrence,
If you're a visual learner like I am, you may benefit from watching a video on Publishing the interaction to Presenter.
Give it a shot and let us know how it goes!
This is how my slide is presenting in Power Point. I have no idea how to change it. What I see in the tutorials do not match I see. For ex., I do not have a Publish only button.
The slide is number 8 for the Engage interactivity. Thank you all so much. I hope I am not being overbearing.
Hi Lawrence,
Thank you for sharing your PowerPoint file!

For more details on this process, we have a great article on this here: Engage 360: Publishing an Interaction to Articulate Presenter 360.
Thanks for the reply. I will try that and see if it works.
I got the same result when i tried to republish it. Thanks.
Hi Lawrence,
Thanks for letting us know the results of your additional testing.
Would you be able to share the .intr Engage file for me to take a look at? I see that you've already shared the .pptx file above.
Or you could share your Articulate Package. That would include all the files needed.
Sure. Let me see if I can attach it here. Thank you so much.
Thanks, Lawrence.
How does this Articulate Package work for you now?
I was able to remove and re-add the Engage interaction.
Maybe I am accessing this the wrong way. The interaction is still not coming up in my power point only a properties page for the interaction. Do I have to leave the PP in order to access the interaction?
Hi Lawrence,
Yes. On the slide within your Presenter project, you should see two buttons on your Engage slide:
If you need to edit the interaction, you will need to 'Edit in Engage' then save and return to Presenter.
I apologize for any confusion, but hopefully, this gets you headed in the right direction.
So I have to hit one of the edit button to access the interaction? If someone is viewing the presentation for educational purposes, I wouldn't want them to edit, I just want the interaction. How do i accomplish that?
Great question, Lawrence.
This is what you can see as the course author. It's a placeholder.
Once the course is published, it will appear like a regular slide to the learners.
Take a look at my published file here to get an idea of what this will look like for your learners.

No problem, Lawrence.
I don't understand what you may be seeing. What slide do you see this on?
I'd be happy to take another look.
Well it is slide 9 the bars are there but the wording is missing from bar 3 and it looks different. Leslie, I am going go out and do some training. i don't want to keep bothering and this is getting extremely frustrating. i can't even open on my end here. I keep getting an error message.

It may only be on my end but I have a horizontal line running through every slide now
