Storyline 360 offers powerful features for creating interactive content. You can enhance your courses by importing existing Engage interactions into Storyline 360.
\n
\n\n
Before importing Engage interactions into Storyline 360, consider these prerequisites and implications:
\n
\n- To import interactions into Storyline 360, you must have Engage ‘09, Engage '13, or Engage 360 installed and activated with a valid serial number or subscription. (Engage doesn't need to be activated if you're in the free trial period.)
\n- When you import an interaction into Storyline 360, a copy of the original interaction (*.intr) file is stored in your project file. As a result, you can transfer your project to another computer or another developer and still edit the interaction (as long as Engage is installed and activated).
\n- Engage interactions are imported into Storyline 360 as web objects, meaning they'll play as standalone interactions that are simply embedded in your course. We recommend disabling the resume prompt in your interactions. Otherwise, learners will see a resume prompt when they revisit interaction slides in your course. To disable the resume prompt in Engage, visit these user guides: Engage ‘09, Engage ‘13, Engage 360.
\n
\n\n
\n- First, do any of the following:\n
\n- Click Import on the Storyline 360 start screen and select Import Engage.
\n- Go to the File tab on the ribbon, scroll to Import, and click Engage.
\n- Go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click New Slide, scroll to Import, and choose Engage.
\n- Go to the Slides tab on the ribbon, click New Slide, and choose Engage.
\n
\n \n- Browse to the Engage interaction you want to import and click Open.
\n- If you opened the wrong interaction or want to select a different one, click the ellipsis button (...) in the upper right corner to browse for another file.
\n- Use the Insert into scene drop-down list at the bottom of the window to choose where the interaction should appear in your course. You can insert it into a new scene, which is the default option, or the current scene. If you choose a new scene, use the Scene field to give it a name.
\n- Click Import to complete the process.

\n\n
Right-click an Engage interaction placeholder and you'll find several more options for working with the interaction:
\n
| \n Web Object > Edit \n | \n This opens the Edit Web Object window, which lets you adjust some of the properties described in the previous section, such as where the interaction displays and when it plays. \nTip: Don't change the file path in the Address field. \n |

If you want to remove the placeholder image, select Reset Picture. \nAfter resetting (removing) the placeholder image, you can choose another placeholder image by right-clicking the interaction again and selecting Change Picture. This is especially useful if you've configured the interaction to play only when learners click it. The image you select will be visible until they click it. \n |
| \n Rename \n | \n This lets you change the default name of the interaction placeholder (Engage Interaction 1, Engage Interaction 2, etc.) in Storyline 360. \nAnother way to rename objects is to use the timeline. \nTip: Changing the name of the interaction placeholder doesn't affect the title of the interaction in the published course. \n |
