Switch · Storyline import

Bring your Storyline courses with you.

See what converts, and what needs a rebuild, before you commit. Upload a supported .story file and Create rebuilds it as editable Canvas slides, with a report entry for every conversion decision.

Create Free includes 3 Storyline imports a month.

How it works

Three steps, and nothing hidden.

  1. 01

    Upload the .story file

    From your projects, choose Import Storyline and select the source file, not a published output.

  2. 02

    Get editable Canvas slides

    Supported slides and their content become Canvas slides you can edit like any other course.

  3. 03

    Read the report

    Work through what did not convert, then what changed, then spot-check slides in the learner preview.

Today

What the import does today.

  • Storyline .story import

    Available

    Supported slides and content become editable Canvas slides. Create Free includes 3 imports a month.

  • Conversion report

    Available

    Every conversion decision gets a flag entry, including anything that did not convert.

  • Not every Storyline feature converts. The report lists each gap so nothing is hidden.
  • Storyline import has a monthly allowance on the free plan; see pricing.

Questions

Before you import a client’s course.

Will a complex course convert exactly?
Not always. Supported content converts, and the report lists every gap. Import a representative file before you quote a conversion job.
Do I need Storyline installed?
No. You upload the .story file in the browser.
What happens after the import?
You edit the Canvas course like any other, run readiness checks and download SCORM test packages.
Can I keep my Storyline licence while I switch?
Yes. Nothing in Create needs you to stop using Storyline. Many people import one representative course first, compare it in the learner preview and keep both tools during the transition.

Your next step
