PPT not importing into Storyline 3
Hi Everyone!
I'm trying to import a PPT into Storyline 3 and I keep getting the "failed to import" error. It provides a link to troubleshoot, but I still can't pinpoint the issue. I am currently on a trial version - does that make a difference? Others who have licensed Storyline 3 do not have this issue.
Any info is appreciated!
Thanks!

Welcome, Andrea! Happy to help you find the culprit.
Being on a trial of Storyline 3 shouldn't make a difference. It could be that there's something corrupt on one of your PowerPoint slides.
To check, try importing 3-5 slides at a time. This will help you nail down the troublesome slide. We can lend a hand if you'd like! Share the PowerPoint file with us privately here, and we'll take a look.

I am having the same issue as Andrea Smith. I have the trial version and I am unable to import my PPT. I have tried all the trouble shooting options and I created a new PPT. Can you help me?
Hello Tomicka and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
We certainly can.
I see that Katie reached out to you yesterday with some helpful documentation and a link to upload your file for us to take a look.

Hi Leslie - I uploaded my PPT file and I am waiting on a response. Currently, I am unable to import my PPTs.
Thanks, Tomicka.
Is it still uploading? I'm not seeing a file attached to your case yet. Be sure to use the upload link that Katie shared with you.

Hi Leslie - Were you able to see the file I uploaded? Also, will there be an update regarding this issue by next week?
Hi there, Tomicka!
Yikes, it looks like the PowerPoint still hasn't come through. Here's the unique, private upload link from the case, and here's a quick recording of the upload process in Chrome 79!
Could you try sending the file in one more time? Also, what browser are you using? We'll be here, ready to help!

Hi
I'm having the same error - failed to import when using a plain just TEXT ppt slide. It's on the hard drive, no sound or graphics . . . PPT and Storyline are both up to date on updates. Running latest office 64-bit 365 app
Please advise.
Thank you!
