If you need to make edits, it should be for interactive features only since you got sign-off on the content while it was in PowerPoint. Using this approach, you end up with a PowerPoint file and interactive Storyline file.

Import the approved content into Storyline.

The Storyline specific content is most likely more interactive.

Get final sign-off on the PowerPoint content since the content should be the same.

Build all your content in PowerPoint first (with forethought as to what you want to be interactive and specific to Storyline).

With some planning, you can have your course content in both formats. PowerPoint doesn’t support all of the interactive features of Storyline, but in terms of what’s visible on the screen, it’s mostly the same: text, shapes, pictures, etc. If you know you need your content to be in both PowerPoint and Storyline, then plan your projects accordingly. My first tip assumes you know that you’ll need a PowerPoint version of the course. Tip #1: Start All Course Development in PowerPoint While there is no feature in PowerPoint to import Storyline, there are some simple things you can do to get your Storyline content into a PowerPoint file. The above seems obvious, but I bring this up because many people start with PowerPoint content, import it into Storyline, and then later want to export the Storyline content back into PowerPoint as if they are interchangeable applications and file types. PowerPoint doesn’t have an import Storyline feature.

Storyline has an import PowerPoint feature to convert the PowerPoint slides to Storyline slides.

Thus going from Storyline to PowerPoint is a bit challenging if the original Storyline content is interactive.

PowerPoint has some interactive features and things one can do to hack a certain level of interactivity, but it doesn’t have a lot of sophistication with things such as mouseovers, drag/drops, variables, etc.

Storyline is designed for interactive e-learning.

PowerPoint is designed mostly for linear presentations.

PowerPoint and Storyline may look similar, but they are two different applications made by two different companies so they’re not interchangeable files.

PowerPoint and Storyline are Different Applicationsīefore we get started, let’s review a few key points when working with PowerPoint and Storyline. Today, we’ll look at a simple way to convert what you created in Storyline and make it a PowerPoint file. There are many reasons for this request, such as using the content for face-to-face training, wanting a slide deck for subject matter experts, or creating a PDF handout out of the slides.

It never fails that after building an e-learning course in Storyline, someone asks if they can get a PowerPoint version of the course.
