Export Simulations

Last Updated August 30, 2026

Brief Overview

Export a simulation to use it outside WalkMe Learning Arc. You can export a simulation as a PDF, Word document, PowerPoint, video, or SCORM package. Each format renders the recorded steps in a layout suited to a different use, from a printable job aid to an LMS-ready package.

Export Formats

You can export a simulation in the folliwing formats:

  • PDF: A step-by-step document in three layouts (Hands-on, Standard, Job Aid). Use for guides, process documentation, or a printable job aid
  • Word: A step-by-step document in three layouts (Hands-on, Standard, Job Aid). Use for guides, process documentation, or a printable job aid
  • PowerPoint: A slide deck with one step per slide. Use for presentations or training material
  • Video: An MP4 video that plays through the simulation step by step.
  • SCORM: A package you upload to your LMS to deliver the simulation and track learner progress

Export a Simulation

  1. Open the simulation in the Simulation editor
  2. Select the Options menu in the top panel and select Export

PDF and Word

PDF and Word share the same settings and produce the same content in different file types.

  1. Select PDF or Word
  2. Under Select mode, choose the document type:
    1. Hands-on: An instruction beside an annotated screenshot for each step, grouped by screen
    2. Standard: An introduction and process fields, then steps grouped by screen with full-width screenshots
    3. Job Aid: A one-page numbered list of steps, without screenshots
  3. Turn on Cover page to add a cover page (optional)

  4. Turn on Include annotations to show the simulation's annotations on the screenshots (optional)

  1. In Standard mode, turn on any of these fields and type your text for each:

    1. Purpose: Why the process exists

    2. Trigger: The event that starts the process

    3. Menu Path: How to reach the starting screen

    4. Description: A free-text introduction shown near the top of the document

    5. Prerequisites: What's needed before starting

    6. Business Process Flow: The parent process this belongs to

    7. FAQ: Common questions about the process

  2. Select Export

PowerPoint

  1. Select PowerPoint
  2. In the Layout dropdown, choose Standard or Styled
  3. Turn on Cover page to add a cover page (optional)
  4. Select Export

Video

  1. Select Video
  2. In the Video settings popup, choose which slides to generate:
    1. All: Generates a video from every slide in the simulation.
    2. Range: Generates a video from specific slides only
      1. Enter the slides in the range field (for example, 1-4, 11, 15, 18-21)
  3. Select a Video resolution from the dropdown
    1. The default is 720p
  4. Select a Click delay from the dropdown to set the pause between clicks
    1. The default is 2 seconds
  5. Select Preview to review the video before exporting (optional)
  6. Select Export

SCORM

SCORM exports a package you upload to your LMS, which then tracks learner progress

  1. Select SCORM
  2. Under Simulation mode, choose the mode learners run in the LMS: Demo, Practice, or Test
  3. Under Version, choose SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 to match your LMS
  4. In completion and result tracking, choose what's reported to your LMS when the learner finishes (the available options depend on the mode you selected):
    1. Result and completion status: The learner's score and whether they finished
    2. Result only: The learner's score, without completion
    3. Completion status only: Whether the learner finished, without a score
    4. None: Sends no tracking data to the LMS
  5. For an option that reports a result, in Result type choose Percentage or Score
  6. Turn on Resume learning to let learners resume from where they left off
  7. Select Export to generate the ZIP file

Technical Notes

  • SCORM:
    • Data pushes out to the LMS only. Learning Arc doesn't receive analytics back from exported simulations
    • Learning Arc updates don't auto-sync to the LMS. Changes require a manual re-export
