Hi Cynthia!
Sorry to hear you've also run into issues when importing PowerPoint files to Storyline! I'd be happy to help troubleshoot and have some follow-up questions to start.
- Are you working locally? We recommend you Create, Edit, and Publish Courses on Your Local Hard Drive while authoring to avoid erratic behavior.
- Does your Storyline course contain a screen recording? Our team is actively monitoring a known issue that causes PowerPoint imports to fail after inserting a screen recording.
- Did this behavior begin after upgrading to the latest version of Storyline 360? Also, does reverting back to build 3.78.30747.0 produce the same issue?
If you're willing to share copies of the affected files, our support engineers would be happy to investigate this further. You can share them here in this discussion or privately through a support case.
We'll delete them from our system as soon as we're finished!
Thanks for your reply, Steven!

Hi Cynthia,
Sorry, but it seems the URL from Steven's reply was blocked by your network when you quoted it, so the rest of your message was snipped. Do you mind resending your post above? You can edit out the hyperlinks if you'd like to quote Steven.
Thanks!

Yes, always on C:/ drive. Does your Storyline course contain a screen recording? Our
team is actively monitoring a known issue that causes PowerPoint imports to
fail after inserting a screen recording.
No screen recordings.. Did this behavior begin after upgrading to the latest version
of Storyline 360? Also, does reverting back to build 3.78.30747.0 produce
the same issue? The problem continues to exist when reverting back to build
3.78.30747.0 ( and build 3.77.30587.0), where courses were successfully
produced but now new PPTX files can no longer be importedI'll be happy to share files in a private support case as I'm not allowed to
distribute content on a potentially public location. Please let me know what
files I need to send.Thank you very much for your assistance,

Hello Cynthia,
You can reach out directly to our support team by opening a case here. You'll have the option to attach a project file so please feel free to share both your .pptx PowerPoint presentation and your Storyline 360 project file so we can test to see what's happening.
Also, your contact information came through as well. This Peek video will show you how to edit it out if you’d like!
