Export to Powerpoint from Storyline

Hi @ all,
I read through the coments but I am still searching for a possibilty to export a storyline file to powerpoint. Or to convert it to ppt..
Did I overread something? Is there any possibilty?

Thanks it advance

Hi Christiane,

There are a lot of comments on this post going back many years, so I can see how that's difficult to comb through with so many questions and suggestions floating around various topics.

To get back to the original question, there is not an option built into Storyline to export to Powerpoint. 

I am curious about what you're working on and what the need for Powerpoint is if you are utilizing Storyline. Perhaps we can help you with that :)

I am curious that people want to go backwards to Powerpoint. People have asked me to create a movie file of a Storyline Interactive so they can just play it.  What is the point?
Similar to Powerpoint, we have all these great features in Storyline that can't be replicated in Powerpoint.  Surely learning is more than "going through content" of a presentation.

Storyline allows us to move on and create interesting and engaging content material that our learners will want to go back to because it is engaging material that makes them think and helps them to perform their jobs better.

Think of Storyline as Powerpoint on Steriods and move on into this century.

What I do here is get them to create the template in PowerPoint and I import it into Storyline.
Because of limited licenses and skills of our SMEs, they don't do any authoring at all. When they review the work I have done in Storyline, I export a Word file and they indicate what they want changed in the file and sent it back.

We find this a great way to move the project forward.  We do have a few staff who loan a laptop to do some edits but they don't have the skills or the time to get into the complexities of Storyline authoring.

We need to find a way to make the process easy for staff who know the subject material but do not have the computer skills of an Instructional Designer.

Thanks for sharing Christiane.

That certainly does sound like a lot of work. Hopefully, you can get them all on board with Review so that they can see how the course works and so that you will have an easy workflow to get feedback and suggestions and mark them resolved as you update the course.

I agree with Beth and Tianna. I just need help making edits and proofing the file by team members that have PowerPoint. These users do not have a need for a Storyline license, as they're job role does not require it.

Hi Sheila,

I can definitely understand that setup, and we've gotten a lot of great feedback from folks who needed similar and are now using Review. They stakeholders and subject matter experts can comment on the course in Review, and then the author can reference that as they go back and make changes.

Another option is looking at using the Publish to Word option, that would allow your team to view a copy of it and make annotations on what to change. If they're also just looking at replacing the text inside your course, could they use the Translation export to edit and provide updates in that document? You can then import it back in, and those changes will carry over to your Storyline file. 

Hi Sheila,

With Articulate 360, you have access to all the authoring tools (Storyline, Rise, Studio), and you can publish for Review from each of our authoring tools. You'll look for the top option in Storyline to publish to Articulate 360. 

You also have access to two screen recording tools (Replay and Peek) and our Live webinars for Articulate 360 training, and the ever-expanding content library of assets.  

Let me know if you need anything else! 

I have read through all of the replies to this request and the fight against installing this option is frustrating.  It seems that there might be some legal reason why Articulate is not incorporating the ability to export Storyline to Powerpoint.  With all of the instructional technology rebuttals by Articulate against the idea, it appears that a large population of Storyline users have legitimate reasons to use this option.  It would seem that Articulate would install the option for those who want it and get more people to but Articulate.  If user chose not to use it then that's ok.  The great number of users who "need" the option could use it as they needed.  It is therefore my conclusion that it is a legal problem or one that would cost a bundle from Articulate to Microsoft.  Something is not right here.  This smacks of legal issues.  That's my humble opinion.

I am not sure why you would want to take all the work in Storyline, export back to Powerpoint, edit it and bring it back to Storyline.   All the scripting and cool stuff will be gone.

I export the Storyline to Word and get people to go through the Storyline interactive and type on the Word file all the changes they want to make.

I then update the file and let them look again.

Seems to work well as 99.9 % of staff can use Word but Powerpoint is not so good for staff except as initial screens to load into Storyline to save cut and paste.
