Fixes come back in one import

Find problems
Broken jumps, slides nothing links to, missing alt text and captions, and the shortest path to completion. Run it free on your own file in the demo. Results from a free run can’t be saved or exported without the trial.
Get the course out
The PowerPoint deck, handouts and study guides, every slide's text, the answer key, a numbered outline and all the media, ready to hand off.
Check a folder
A folder of .story files in, one table out, checked against rules you set once.
Check a translation
Load the XLIFF Storyline exports and see what's translated, what isn't, where a variable or an overflow will break a slide, and where the same line got two different translations.
Fix the wording
Drop the .story and fix any line of text in the browser. The developer imports every fix into Storyline in one step.

Questions
Is the PowerPoint deck really editable?
Yes. Text comes across as real PowerPoint text, and shapes, pictures and tables as PowerPoint objects. Every layer becomes its own slide, and narration, notes and quiz answers go in the speaker notes. Animations, triggers and variables stay in Storyline. Details: how the PowerPoint export works.
We already use Review 360. Why add this?
Review 360 is good for comments on the published course. StoryAudit reads the .story file itself, before anyone publishes: every layer and quiz answer, what changed since the last round, the PowerPoint deck and the media. The two work well together.
Why not use Storyline's own Publish to Word, Media Library or Accessibility Checker?
Keep using them. They run inside Storyline, one project at a time, for whoever has it open. StoryAudit adds what they don't: an editable PowerPoint deck, handouts and study guides with the knowledge checks, a changelog between versions, every media file with the slides it's on, and checks across a whole folder, for everyone on the team.
Does StoryAudit upload my course files anywhere?
No. Every .story file is read in your browser, and every export is made there too. Details: security overview.
Do I need Storyline to use it?
No. StoryAudit reads the .story file in your browser. Whoever builds the course still uses Storyline to publish it and to import wording fixes. (StoryAudit is not affiliated with Articulate Global, LLC.)
Can reviewers change the text themselves?
Yes, with a StoryAudit login. In Text Fixes, drop the .story file, fix any line and download one file. The developer imports it with Storyline's own translation import, and only those lines change. Formatting and variables stay as they are. How it works.
Storyline says my file is corrupted. Can StoryAudit help?
Often, yes, and it's free with no signup. StoryAudit reads the file at the byte level, names the cause and reports how many slides survived. When the course structure comes back, you can download a rebuilt .story file to try in Storyline. Diagnose a file.
Which versions of Storyline does it support?
Storyline 2, 3, and 360. It needs the original .story project file, not published SCORM or xAPI output.
Who needs a login?
Anyone who opens course files in StoryAudit. People who only read what you send them, like a PDF or a reviewer copy, don't. On Individual, one person runs the checks for everyone. On Team, each person gets their own login and signs off by name.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes: every account starts with a 7-day free trial. It takes a card at signup, and nothing is charged until day 8. Want zero commitment first? Try the live demo, no signup or card. On your own files, Health Check runs free, Translation Check opens your XLIFF to view, and Text Fixes lets you fix up to 3 lines, but results can't be saved or exported without the trial.
Show 6 more questions
What happens when StoryAudit flags something that isn't actually a problem?
Mark it reviewed once, with a reason. It stays waived for that course from then on, and your whole team sees the same waiver.
What can I do with one file, two files, or none?
One file: Health Check, Course Docs, the PowerPoint deck and Text Fixes. Two versions: Compare's changelog. A whole folder: Batch Check, on any plan. No course file: Translation Check reads the XLIFF export, and so does Text Fixes.
How does this work for a whole team?
Switch the pricing toggle to Team: $20 per person per month, 2-person minimum, same 7-day trial. Everyone gets their own login. See what each role gets. Need invoicing? Choose Enterprise.
What browsers does StoryAudit work in?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. Built for a desktop or laptop browser; small screens aren't the focus yet.
Is there a CLI or API?
Not yet. StoryAudit does all its work in the browser, so there’s no server-side engine for an API to call. Batch Check covers most pipeline needs today: sweep a folder against saved rules and export CSV or JSON. A CLI is on the roadmap; email support@storyaudit.app if it would unblock your team and we'll tell you where it stands.
Do you support SSO / SAML?
Every plan signs in with Google, Microsoft or email. Enterprise adds single sign-on through your company’s identity provider (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and others, over SAML or OIDC), so your IT team controls who can sign in. Email support@storyaudit.app to set it up.
See it on a real Storyline course
The demo opens a 51-slide Storyline safety course with every tool ready, including the PowerPoint export, with no signup or card. On your own files, Health Check runs free, Translation Check opens your XLIFF to view, and Text Fixes lets you fix up to 3 lines, but results can’t be saved or exported without the trial. Everything else on your own files needs the 7-day free trial.
