How to Export Storyline 360 project to PowerPoint?
I will also recognize the age of this thread and still feel that this is a need in June 2026. I inherited 15 training courses, made up of 66 lessons, each its own PowerPoint presentation that had been turned into on-line learning during the pandemic using another LMS. So when I came into the picture and moved to Storyline, I had about 1,200 slides in those 66 lessons, all in PowerPoint. Storyline did a great job of allowing me to import the PowerPoint files. I was able to use the new AI function to do text-to-speech so I could convert the speaker notes into voice. (Hence, I assume many think, well, if it can import PowerPoint, why can't it export?) For reviews, the Review software is good, if the goal is to replicate the user experience. I am not the SME, so now I need SMEs to review both the text on the slides and the speaker notes in detail. The Review software can only show the slide and captions for the voiceover, thus, any SME review isn't going to be able to easily offer technical edits for the script. To get the material to the SMEs, it is currently easy to give them the PowerPoints and have them edit slides and speaker notes. But if the edits are extensive...I'm back to re-creating the entire lesson in Storyline again by importing edited slides and using TTS. If the SMEs want to suggest something more extensive, like adding or removing whole concepts, they aren't going to be licensed Storyline users and there is no easy way to hand them the content. Thus, what I think Articulate is missing is the ubiquity of PowerPoint and the volume of work required to move more fluidly between PowerPoint and Storyline (screen captures per slide in a program of 1,200 slides isn't logical). Another missing point is that I'm not starting from scratch here and I have a ton of material I found it worthwhile to take the time to import into Storyline, which I think Articulate has done an excellent job in making that possible, including the use of slide masters. I had very little difficulty importing pretty static slides and only a modicum of challenge with tables. A number of on-line videos that are now dated suggested that these functions have been greatly improved over time. I'd think the investment to go the other way would be worth it and would still up-vote it. Many thanks.
