Currently, Articulate Storyline doesn't support importing content from Articulate Presenter '13, Articulate Quizmaker '13, or Articulate Engage '13. We're working to make this feature available in a free update for Storyline.
I'm not sure if adding as a web object would assist you, but if so you can can check out this thread.
I too received the same error as Nicole. I recently upgraded from Studio 09 and was looking forward to leveraging the new (and old) Engage interactions in my Storyline projects.
Is there a rough timeline around when we can expect this compatibility fix to be available to users?
This seems like a huge oversight! Had I known my interactions would not import I would have waited to upgrade. It's hard to be disappointed with Articulate but this comes close :(
This is was not an oversight on our part and we will be releasing a free update to allow you to do this as Leslie mentioned. It was simply something we could not get into the initial launch and we didn't feel that we should delay a product launch for this particular feature.
Can you please clarify if this is just an issue related to attempting to convert Engage 13 to Storyline or is there also a problem when converting Engage 09 to Storyline as well?
We'll announce the release of any new updates on those social pages, as well as any related threads here on the forums, so be sure to subscribe to this thread.
I am not trying to pour the salt on the wound... but this thread started in Oct of 2013... Come on!!! I just upgraded and am running into the same issue. What do you need from this community to make this a priority?
BTW - The Nov post from Mr. Wilcox read as very curt and disrespectful to the users trying to use Articulate products... Maybe a remedial customer service class in in order.
Thanks for your feedback. I wasn't trying to be curt or disrespectful, I was relaying information. You can currently import Studio '09 content into Storyline. We don't have immediate plans to address this issue at this time. Due to the technical differences between Studio '09 and Studio '13, we are still in the process of evaluating adding this functionality into our product road maps.
So ... last month I convinced my manager to allow me to purchase Storyline and Engage so that I could create and add interactive components to make the training material much more "Engaging". You can imagine my managers disappointment and most likely reprimand, for not fully researching the product when I will have to report to her that the $1400 she spent for Storyline, the additional $999 for the character pack and the other $500 for Engage is a near waste. I don't know about you, but I am new to this job and to gain the trust to make a purchase was hard to come by and now will be even greater to regain. I also see now, after being directed to this forum by Articulates technical support that this is a pretty big deal, and they no longer want to field questions that involve this lack of functionality but would rather the forum deliver the bad news. When will these products be functional as a package, it is very important because I have a deadline and a big part of it depends on me being able to import the Engage interactives into Storyline.
I do not have a timeline of availability on this functionality, but I wasn't sure if you saw the solution here where you can utilize Engage within Storyline as a web object.
what about quizmaker? we have several courses already completed in studio 13 and we were thinking about switching to storyline because of all of the issues we are having, but now it seems like both options aren't that great...
Hi Kevin! This is more of a Storyline question, and it looks as if this solution is one that others have used as well. Most of what I have seen has been related to Engage though.
If you haven't already done so, I'd recommend trying the suggestion provided in the article. Though it's not the same as inserting directly, the functionality is similar and may help with your projects.
We'll share any additional information or updates as soon as we have more information on this functionality.
There is nothing currently built into Storyline that allows you to do this, but it would make a great feature request. I will point you to this older thread that has a solution from a community member that may or may not be what you are looking for, but it is worth a shot. Please do reach out if you have any further questions!

Hi Keli and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! This thread was reporting the inability to import Engage '13 into Storyline.
Are you having an issue that needs to be addressed?
Any word on when this update will be released or has it been released and I wasn't aware of it?
Hi Gayla it hasn't been released yet.
Hi happened to have bought Engage 13 just for this purpose. I am truly shocked this is not been addressed
Hi Dan and welcome to the community!
Nancy is correct - this hasn't been released just yet.
We are working on a free update for Storyline that will add the support of new content created in Studio '13.
In the meantime, I recommend following us on the following sites:

Would really love to incorporate some Engage into Storyline... soon.

Hi Matesh and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!
I apologize, but I'm not sure what you are asking to do and the context of this has not assisted me.
Can you provide some more information about what you are trying to do.

I thought this functionality was possible.
This is very important for the integration of tools!
I suggest this to be a priority. My company also acquired the new Studio 13 to make this integration ... but the disappointment was the same.
We recently updated the article on this topic:
Articulate Storyline Doesn't Support Content from Articulate Studio '13
Currently, Articulate Storyline doesn't support importing content directly from Articulate Presenter '13, Articulate Quizmaker '13, or Articulate Engage '13.
We're working to make this feature available in a future version of Storyline.
However, you can publish Studio '13 content for web, then embed it in Storyline as a web object. For example, here's how you'd insert an Engage '13 interaction in Storyline.
If you haven't already done so, I'd recommend trying the suggestion provided in the article. Though it's not the same as inserting directly, the functionality is similar and may help with your projects.
We'll share any additional information or updates as soon as we have more information on this functionality.
Thanks!
