"Online presentations aren't supported. Save a copy to your local drive to continue."

Why is this happening in my Articulate Presenter? Also, when I create something in Articulate Engage and try to publish to Powerpoint, it says (No PowerPoint Presentations are running) - which it is!

I use the ellipses to open, try again, same issue....

  • Hi, Carol.

    Thank you for reaching out, and I'm sorry you're encountering this error!

    We don't recommend working with files on a network drive as it can cause erratic behavior. If it's a local drive but also syncing with a service such as OneDrive or Dropbox, it can cause a similar effect as a network drive. 

    Let me know if you have additional questions! If this is not your scenario, can you get in touch through a support case so we can investigate what's happening in your project?

      Thanks for the response Maria! Good to know and I'll let my team know as we work for a large organisation and all have the full suite.

      Regards, Carol

    I'm having a similar issue, even though I have saved it to my local drive.  When I try to use any one of the features on the Articulate ribbon in a powerpoint saved to my hard drive, I get the error message in a pop up "We're sorry Something went wrong with Articulate Presenter and it may close." And then asks me to provide feedback.

    Thanks for the guidance, Joe. I have to get our IT support involved, but I think we're getting closer. It seems that I have to have a desktop version of Microsoft Office installed on my device...
