Editable content
Text boxes, images, buttons, formatting, color, stacking order, object timing and picture crops.
Editable Storyline output
It comes back as Storyline.
Not a screenshot of Storyline.
StoryDraft turns an extraction pack, a Word storyboard (.docx), or a ZIP of documents and images into an editable Articulate Storyline project. Text stays text. Pictures stay pictures. Questions, variables, triggers, timing and motion are written into the native .story file.
Extract via extractor.happyalien.ai ↗ (optional) or bring docs + images.StoryDraft AI rebuilds.You take it from there.
More than slides
Keep the parts that make a course behave like a course.
Navigation
Player controls, course outline, custom menus and buttons, named slide jumps and Exit actions.
Variables and inputs
Text, number and true/false variables, assignment triggers, native text entry fields and numeric sliders.
States and triggers
Normal, Hidden and Hover states. Click, timeline and player events with native Storyline actions.
Supported interactions
StoryDraft preserves source-supported learner interactions that can be represented as native Storyline behavior. Source scripts and complex action chains are preserved for manual review when not natively expressible.
trigger Click continue / exit
Motion that stays editable
Native animation structures. No video captures. No rasterized frames.
Entrance and exit
Automatic Fade entrances for compatible text objects when source evidence is clear.
Motion paths
Pre-wired native motion paths (Line, Arc, Turn, Square, Trapezoid) with editable default points ready to fine-tune in Storyline.
Learner-triggered emphasis
Native Pulse and Bounce emphasis animations wired to learner click triggers, fully editable in Storyline without JavaScript.
Slide transitions
Supported between modules with source-confirmed Fade/Push guidance.
Questions, feedback and results
Six native question types. Built to be opened and edited.
Questions can include points, shuffling, answer keys and correct/incorrect feedback. Keep question assessments as practice, or preserve existing review/score flow when it is present in the source.
- Multiple choice
- Multiple response
- True / false
- Fill in the blank
- Sequence
- Matching
Built from source evidence
Missing source material is reported, not quietly invented.
StoryDraft carries forward source wording, answer keys, images and order when the evidence is there. Missing images, empty interactions and unsupported nonempty interaction data are called out instead of disappearing.
Word storyboards can drive image placement, native form inputs, Fade entrances and module transitions. The conversion report records those choices and their source references.
Open it. Edit it. Save it again.
Audited rebuilds preserve original text, answer keys, triggers, variables, navigation, and media where source evidence is present.
Feature matrix
What StoryDraft supports now.
The boundaries are here on purpose. They keep the output predictable and the claims honest.
Content objects
Editable text, PNG/JPEG images, buttons, formatting, colors, bounds, stacking, timing and picture crops.
Navigation
Next, Previous, named jumps, Exit, outline, player controls and custom menu/button navigation.
Variables and forms
Text, number and boolean variables; assignment; native text entry and sliders.
Triggers
Click, timeline start/end and player events with native jump and variable/state actions.
States
Normal and Hidden object states, plus native button Normal and Hover visuals.
JavaScript
JavaScript-heavy behaviors are surfaced as review notes when they need manual migration.
Animations
Native Fade entrances, module transitions, pre-wired motion paths, and learner-triggered Pulse/Bounce emphasis are generated.
Questions and Results
Native question types are supported with source-linked options, then scored per Storyline behavior.
Know the boundary
StoryDraft is deliberate about what it supports.
It does not currently expose native conditional-trigger editing, Morph matching, arbitrary motion easing, animation chains, looping, paragraph-by-paragraph animation or arbitrary redesign of native quiz layouts. JavaScript can contain its own conditions, but that is different from editable native Storyline trigger conditions. LMS publishing behavior, every Storyline version and accessibility certification still require separate testing.
