Story View print out?
Hey all, short of taking a bunch of screen shots and compositing them together, is there a way to print out the Story View? I'm a visual kinda guy (years in advertising will do that to a person) and want to make sure all the connections in my project are where they need to be.
Thanks in advance for the continued awesomeness!

You can publish your course to Microsoft Word. This basically outputs all of your slides to a Word document, including screen caps of each slide and any slide notes. But I don't think this will show you how each slide is connected...

Thanks Ryan!
I have exported to Word, hoping that might offer some hope, but not so much. That's a nice option for quick content check, but not overly helpful for connectivity. - PeterAndersonFormer Staff
Hi Doug,
Yeah, it's a popular feature request, but there's currently no built-in way using Storyline to print out Story View.
Depending on the size of your project, you can just use the Print Screen key on your keyboard, or take a screenshot of it and print that. Keep in mind, that if your Story View is really expansive, you can zoom in or out on it using the scale in the bottom-right corner.

I completely agree - this is a needed feature - especially in early stages of design when you are shopping around your approach to content with stakeholders
Hi Trevor,
Thanks for reaching out here, and although this thread is a bit older and the story view print out is not a feature yet, you're welcome to share your thoughts in the form of a feature request here.

Wow...it's the third time I'm looking for a much needed feature and it's not possible :)
It's gong to be my third feature request today!
Printing a Story View is really needed - especially when your scenes have a lot of conditional variables and you want to think the workflow through. I find myself want to draw and create annotations in the story view and the only way is to print it to save time.
Hey Eitan! Thanks so much for taking the time to submit those requests - three in one day is commendable! I appreciate that you are an active part of this community and that you openly share what you'd like to see in future updates, as this gives us a better idea of what our users want out of the software. :)

Is there any update to this much-needed feature request? I've been rebuilding story view in Visio, which is quite time consuming.
I don't have an update to share at this time, Paula. Thanks for checking in!
And by the way, here's how we manage all of the feature requests we receive. 😊

I've submitted this as a feature request too. Sorely desired
