How to Export Storyline 360 project to PowerPoint?
Hi,
I would be grateful for any advice on how to export or convert an existing Articulate Storyline 360 project into a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation?
We use Articulate often but on an upcoming occasion we need to be able to quickly export/convert our .story presentations to PPT; any solutions?
Thank you so much!
Respectfully,
Andrew Farmer

I'm fine with the Word version that gets produced. I would like to be able to have the customers download the file for reference material. The Word is fine, except any links I used are not clickable. If that was an option, I would be fine. My option is to just add the links under each slide image.

To be honest, this is not entirely an Articulate problem. PPt neither imports from, nor exports to SL. We should also be asking Microsoft to import from SL every time we ask Articulate to export to PPt. I suspect Articulate gets the heat because they have a forum with staff members that actually answer users.

I know it is a sidenote, but this issue is why I wish Articulate wasn't essentially abandoning Articulate Presenter. The model of working directly within PowerPoint does have its advantages.

Kenneth,
Did you find a solution or are you saying you need the ability to do this as well?

I am currently in the painstaking process of rebuilding a Storyline file as a PowerPoint file. My client has had a request to present her course as a live instructor, and Storyline obviously won't work for that. Furthermore, since she'll need to update the content so that it works for a live audience, she needs it to be fully editable. Therefore all the workarounds suggested previously with screen shots are of no help. Please add an export to PowerPoint feature!

We often get (dreaded) requests from SMEs like this for content that used to be in PowerPoint: "Can you send me the PowerPoint file of that course?"
We then have to explain that we have made updates since the course was converted from PowerPoint and that the only PowerPoint files we can give them are old.
There is a current option to Publish to Word. What if there was a similar option that just sent an image capture of each Storyline Slide as the slide, and pasted the notes into the PowerPoint notes panel?

Having a PowerPoint export feature is also something that our team could use as well.

Adding our vote here to enable exporting to PPT in future updates. We LOVE using articulate/storyline; however, we have some clients who insist on receiving PPT versions (period, end of story). It's really tedious to have to convert this by hand. Thanks!

Well said Glen! We get so many requests for just the slide content that it should be a feature! Having to take screenshots to paste into PowerPoint is crazy. You already have an import from PPT, why not create the reverse?

Just to add to the conversation, I think it is clear that a export to PPT is a feature that users need and want and I don't understand Articulates push back.
I understand triggers, interactivity etc can't be used in PPT. However 99% of elearning projects developed (that need exporting to PPT) are simple text and images with the occasional layer. Why is it so difficult to export the content only to pptx? People do not expect the PPT to act like storyline. Just like exporting to video I would not expect interactivity. Saying this, I must say the export to video is a great feature.
The workarounds from staff are not viable solutions for large corporate organisations, time to stop asking why and ask yourself how. I don't believe this one is too hard for your developers and would add real value to the product.

Hello!
Adding my experience here also. In my institution we like to offer a print out of our courses (similar to a handout). It would be great to have the option to transfer content from storyline to PPT.
We currently publish the content to word, clean it up, and then convert it to a PDF. However, there is a lot to clean up in the word version and it is harder to work on design in a word document than it is in a PPT.
I hope there is a way to do it soon!
thanks!
