Export & LMS
The documents you can generate from a course
Every option in the Export menu — what each document is for and who you would hand it to.
A course can be exported as a package for a website or an LMS, or as documents you hand to learners, clients, facilitators or a marketing team. This article lists everything the Export menu produces and what plan each one needs.
Your plan decides what you can use. SCORM, Word, Storyboard, the Course manual and PowerPoint need a Solo or Pro plan — none of those use AI. Everything written by AI is Pro only, and runs on your own Anthropic key, added on the Billing page. The HTML package works on every plan.
Where the Export menu is
Open the course in the editor and use the Export button in the top bar. While an export is running the button reads "Exporting…". The menu is grouped under three labels: Publish, Documents and Generate.
Publish
- HTML package — for any website or intranet. Available on all plans.
- SCORM 1.2 package — for any LMS (Moodle, Canvas, etc.). Needs Solo or Pro.
Documents
- Word document (.docx) — edit offline in Word, then re-import. Solo or Pro.
- Storyboard (.docx) — a visual design doc for stakeholder review. Solo or Pro.
- Storyboard + AI rationale — the same storyboard with an AI design rationale per module. Pro, on your Anthropic key.
The first two use no AI and cost you nothing in API credits. Choose the AI rationale when a reviewer wants the reasoning behind the design, not only the design. If you are not sure, export the plain storyboard first.
Generate
Most of this group is written by Claude from your course content, but not all of it. Course manual and PowerPoint (.pptx) are built from the course directly, use no AI, and work on Solo as well as Pro. Everything else here is Pro and runs on your own Anthropic key.
| Document | Plan | What it is | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|---|
| FAQ | Pro | Download it, or add it to the course. | Participants, or the course itself |
| Training strategy | Pro | The plan you put in front of a client. | A client or sponsor |
| Course manual | Solo or Pro | A readable manual learners can print and keep. | Learners |
| Course manual + FAQ | Solo or Pro, plus Pro for the FAQ | The manual with an AI-generated FAQ appendix. | Learners |
| Facilitator guide | Pro | Timings, talking points, and answers for delivery. | Whoever runs the session |
| Facilitator guide + FAQ | Pro | The guide, with questions participants may ask added. | Whoever runs the session |
| Resources | Pro | Links, glossary, takeaways, and further reading. | Learners |
| PowerPoint (.pptx) | Solo or Pro | Present the course in a classroom. | Whoever presents |
| Avatar video scripts | Pro | HeyGen-ready scripts for intro, module and wrap-up videos. | Whoever makes the videos |
| Social media pack | Pro | Strategy, launch campaign and evergreen posts. | Whoever markets the course |
The PowerPoint options dialog has an Add AI speaker notes checkbox. The deck is Solo or Pro; the speaker notes are the Pro part. On Pro the checkbox is ticked by default, so the deck you get by just clicking through does call Anthropic and does spend credits. Untick it for a deck that costs nothing. On Solo it is off and cannot be turned on.
Avatar video scripts and the Social media pack each open a confirmation dialog before they run, and each has its own article.
What the "+ FAQ" variants add
Course manual + FAQ and Facilitator guide + FAQ are the plain documents with an AI-written FAQ appendix on the end. If you only want the questions, generate the FAQ on its own.
Course manual + FAQ is the one item split across two plans: the manual half needs Solo or Pro, the FAQ half needs Pro. On Solo the plain Course manual exports fine, but the + FAQ version tells you "Including the FAQ requires a Pro plan."
What happens when you generate a document
The AI-written documents send your course content to Anthropic on your own workspace key and cost a small amount of your own credits. Nothing is posted or published anywhere — you get a document back and decide what to do with it.
HTML package, SCORM 1.2, Word document, Storyboard and Course manual cost you nothing at a provider — they never call an AI, so run them as often as you like. PowerPoint is free too, but only with Add AI speaker notes unticked; leave it ticked and the deck costs credits like any other AI export. Everything else under Generate, and Storyboard + AI rationale, spends credits every run.
Long exports show a progress dialog with a title, a subtitle and a list of stages. You cannot dismiss that dialog, and the export cannot be cancelled once it has started. Leave it to finish.
Generating again always produces a fresh document. It does not update one you exported earlier, and it knows nothing about edits you made to it. If you exported the Word document, edited it in Word and exported again, those edits are not carried into the new file. Keep the edited copy, or make the change in the course and export again — not both.
If something goes wrong
"SCORM export requires a Solo or Pro plan." You are on the Free plan. Use the HTML package instead, which works on every plan, or upgrade from the Billing page.
"Word (.docx) export requires a Solo or Pro plan.", "Storyboard export requires a Solo or Pro plan.", "Course manual export requires a Solo or Pro plan." or "PowerPoint export requires a Solo or Pro plan." Same cause: you are on the Free plan. None of these four use AI, so Solo is enough — you do not need Pro, and you do not need an Anthropic key for any of them.
You chose an item and a toast told you it needs a higher plan Menu items are not greyed out for plan reasons. They stay clickable, and clicking one you are not entitled to shows a toast with the reason and a single Upgrade button that goes to Billing. Off-plan items also carry a small Pro badge in the menu. The message names the item you picked:
- "The FAQ generator requires a Pro plan."
- "The training strategy requires a Pro plan."
- "The facilitator guide requires a Pro plan." — both the plain guide and the + FAQ version.
- "The resources document requires a Pro plan."
- "Avatar video scripts require a Pro plan."
- "The social media pack requires a Pro plan."
- "Including the FAQ requires a Pro plan." — from Course manual + FAQ on Solo. The plain Course manual still works.
- "The AI design rationale requires a Pro plan." — from Storyboard + AI rationale. The plain Storyboard still works on Solo.
"Add your Anthropic API key in Billing to use AI features." You are on Pro but no Anthropic key is stored. Go to Billing, find the AI provider keys card, choose Anthropic (Claude) from the provider dropdown, and use Add key. Every AI-written document uses this key. The Course manual, PowerPoint, Word and Storyboard exports do not need it.
"Your Anthropic key was rejected. Check it in Billing." The stored key is no longer working. On the Billing page it shows a red Invalid — key was rejected badge. Use Test key to confirm, then Replace key with a current one. Keys are never shown again after saving, so you cannot read the old one back.
The generated document reads thin or repeats itself. These documents are written from your course content and nothing else. A short course with sparse modules gives the AI little to work with, and regenerating will not change that. Add real content to the modules first. Running the Audit shows you which modules are light.
