I'm finally getting around to testing Storyline. I had a question regarding output. If I build a project in SL, is there a way to output just slides back into Powerpoint? The project I am working on, not only do they want a e-learning modules but also their base Powerpoint updated. I would have to modify a few things that they would not use in a Face-2 Face session. So I was concerned about having 2 versions.
ok. Thanks. I may have to wait on SL then. The client wants a Powerpoint and a intereactive module of the same thing. I don't want to have to create 2 copies right now. With Powerpoint and Articulate I can just hide the interactive slides.
Actually I'm looking for the same thing, but I guess your answer did not cover it. Are there any options to export Storyline to Powerpoint? I know that Storyline enables exporting to word, but that just isn't enough for me.
There's currently no way to export a Storyline file into a PowerPoint file. If that's something you'd like to see implemented into future updates, please feel free to submit a feature request to our product development team here.
What kind of project are you working on, out of curiosity? How would importing Storyline into PowerPoint, rather than vice versa, be beneficial to your needs?
It is an internal training that has some degree of flexibility (content will de adapted on a yearly basis). Next to the delivery through the Storyline e-module, the content will also be delivered to audiences. That would typically require having the content available in powerpoint. After all Powerpoint is still the standard business reporting software.
We need to be able to show an example of a Storyline eLearning module within a PowerPoint presentation. Is there any progress on how this might be done?
My organisation sends consultants out to 'sell' our eLearning to potential clients. They first come to us with a training need, we create a proposal outlining a solution... and as part of that process we then travel to their site and give a presentation to management to demonstrate how our eLearning would meet their needs. As Peter mentions, Powerpoint is the standard software for this sort of thing in the corporate sector. We really need to be able to embed a short Storyline example into a PowerPoint presentation.
There's still no option to import a Storyline slide or course into a PowerPoint presentation... unless you're also using Presenter as a PowerPoint plugin. That would allow you to publish your PowerPoint via Presenter, and you could include any published Storyline in your course as a web object.
If you don't currently use Presenter, you can download a free trial here.
It's not quite what you're looking for, but I hope that helps
We have Articulate Studio (so yes have Presenter) as well as Storyline... but really wanted to demonstrate in the way mentioned... as it's not a course we wish to show, but rather a project presentation (timeframes, communication channels, financial data, planning framework etc) to potential clients that incorporates a small demo of how a finished course could look.
We've currently settled for placing the PowerPoint presentation and published Storyline folder onto a consultants laptop and hyperlinking from within PowerPoint when they wish to show the Storyline demo during their presentation.
I had a question on this, is the presentation done in PPT for a leave behind?
I just did a Demo with the same issues, so I built the presentation in PPT and inserted it into storyline and removed all the controls for the briefing slides. Then I turned to controls on for just the slides that had the interactive demo. No one knew the difference the presentation looked and acted like a PPT and the demo looked and acted like storyline. When it came time to give the PPT to the customer, I gave them the PPT I built the presentation in before importing it.
If the Demo is not interactive then you could open a new storyline and screen record the demo and insert it into the PPT as a movie?
We've just had a request for this as well from a client. Any update on whether this will be possible in future builds? Seems like it would be a nice little additional value add!
No update to share and we don't share release dates or roadmaps in the forums - but you can send along your thoughts as well in the form of a feature request.
I have been following this thread and have a similar SL to power point export question. I teach at multiple universities. IN one I use the content in an online venue, in the other, I do a face-to-face presentation (for which I have always used ppt). I exported my ppt files into storyline and did some nice updates this year, but would like to be able to move them back into ppt for the face-to-face session. Any suggestions?
Unfortunately there isn't a way to export them back out - you could look at taking screenshots of the Storyline slides and using those as images in Powerpoint, and you'll just want to ensure you screenshot them at the same size as your Powerpoint slides will be so that there isn't any scaling or loss in quality as you won't be able to adjust the elements in Powerpoint.
Thanks K for sharing that here - I hadn't seen that recommendation before, but this discussion is a bit older so hopefully it helps someone else as they come across it!
?I encountered this problem before and contacted Articulate who told me this function is not possible. I ended up doing some screen shots in Storyline and putting them in power point.

Storyline 3/360 don't have an option to export to Powerpoint. Are you looking to share a copy of your course with someone who doesn't have Storyline? Have you looked at using Articulate Review as a part of the 360 Suite?
I'll let Fan post their own reply, but speaking for myself, I've worked for organizations that separate design and development, and sometimes final development in Storyline looks much different than the original storyboard. For legacy reasons, the company may want the storyboard to resemble the final product, in case revisions are requested down the line, and the company wants to capture those revision requests by sending out the current SB in PPT form. In that case, it would often be much easier to create an identical SB from Storyline by exporting to PowerPoint, than it might be to modify the existing PPT SB.
Ah, that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for letting us know how this feature would be useful for your team. I'll pass along your feedback to Product Development. If this feature makes it into a future version of Storyline, I'll be sure to let you know.
In the meantime, here's an inside look at how we manage all of the ideas we receive from customers like you!
I too need to be able to export from Storyline to Powerpoint because we've created Storyline courses and want to use the same interface\format (colors, dialog boxes, arrows, etc.) for our intructor-led courses which are to be built in PPT. Any ideas?

Hi April,
Currently, the only way to import Storyline back into Presenter would be through a web object. Here's how.
ok. Thanks. I may have to wait on SL then. The client wants a Powerpoint and a intereactive module of the same thing. I don't want to have to create 2 copies right now. With Powerpoint and Articulate I can just hide the interactive slides.
Hope the upgrade to studio was out sooner. ~a

Good luck with the course, Sharon, and let us know if we can be of any help

Just a couple of ideas..

Actually if you are up for multiple steps you can export your storyline into word -convert word to a PDF- then export the PDF into a PPTX.

Hi Jane -it's not a method I can support, but if it works for someone they're welcome to use it with caution.
Also just an FYI that responding via email includes your signature here so you're welcome to edit the post to remove that information if needed!
Is there still no resolution for this is 360? I am looking to bring my slides back into PPT from 360, if not I will start copying and pasting!

Is that possible to export SL into Pr?
Hi Fan,
Although we don't have a feature that will allow you to export Storyline into PowerPoint, I'm curious to know why this feature is important for you.
Can you tell me why you would need this feature? What scenario would you use it in?
Thanks!
