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.
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.
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
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. :)
Hi there, Tash. Thanks for checking in. We are still tracking this request, but there aren't immediate plans for including a feature to print your Story View.
Anything we can do to get this implemented? Would be so nice to be able to support development workflow. Maybe something to put into the review functionality from review 360.
Looking forward to something in that way! Kind regards
I'm going to share your thoughts with our team so they're aware that such a feature would help your workflow. This discussion is tagged to the request's report so if there's any forward movement, everyone here will get an email notification. 🌟
The ability to be able to print Story View/export or Publish Story View to Review would be fantastic! Currently, I am recreating story view in PPT or printing to Word and re-arranging, which again, makes more work and is time-consuming. Being able to send the Story View to Review would be a fantastic way to receive stakeholder feedback and assist with planning. I have seen this feature has had many requests, would be great to see this feature implemented in the next update :)
Hello, it's been over 8 years since this feature was requested. Any news? This is a feature that we need so it would be awesome if this was implemented.
Thanks for checking in! No new news to report now, but I've added your vote to the report we're tracking on this. You're in the right place to receive any new updates since you're linked to this discussion!
In the meantime, I found a suggestion from one of our community members you might want to give a try!
Hi all, just adding my voice to the near decade old request for a print option for the story view. The advantage of this is that the diagram effectively becomes a flow chart for repeating a successful chain of scenes and connections, without having to manually go through each slide, and then wonder whether the flow will remain intact.
I have a large number of storyline projects, some of which need updating with newer materials, some which need to be modernised and the printed story view would expedite that. Cut and paste screen shots doesn't really do it for me.

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
Is there any update on this yet?

So - re-activated thread two month ago... :-)

I am just reading that I am not the only one looking to print the story view. Yes, would be a great feature to have!
Agreed. This would be a very useful option.
This would be a very useful improvement.
Thanks for adding your voice, folks! If we add this feature in the future, you'll be among the first to hear the news.

I do not have an update at this time, Dearne.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.
I do appreciate you sharing the details of why and how this would be helpful for you. I've added this to the report :)
This would help me get a SME to review it. We have a complex process and this would ensure we have it right! Please let us know if you have an update!
Bonjour,
Toujours pas de possibilité en 2021 d'imprimer une story view ?
Merci d'avance pour votre retour.
