There is also an option to export your session into an editable Word format, if you’re on a Pro or Business plan, or in the trial period of a Pro / Business plan. Exporting to Word is available from the session plan by clicking on the Export button and selecting the ‘As Word’ option.

As you can customise the visibility and order of your columns in SessionLab, you now have the option to match the Word export to how your agenda in the Session Planner looks. Furthermore, you can also decide to export a single-day of your agenda instead of all days, as well as choosing whether to show or hide your category colour legend, list of materials and notes on your export.

Under the Export menu, choose to export to Word and you’ll see the ‘Visible in planner’ option under the Columns header. Choosing this option will produce a Word file which mirrors the columns you’ve chosen to show or hide in the planner, as well as their order:

This allows you to export your session to Word with the type of information you need, e.g.

This same menu will also allow you to export just one (rather than all) days in your session, and choose whether to include notes, category colours and materials on your export too.

If you export your session into MS Word format, and upon opening the exported file you see the error message ‘Word experienced an error trying to open the file’ then it’s likely that your session contains some unsupported characters or spacing which are causing the export to be unsuccessful. This is a known bug and we’re gradually eliminating the various edge cases that cause it, however very rarely you may run into this issue.

If so, please email us with the name of your session or session URL. We will get back to you (usually within a few business hours) with the root cause fixed in your session so you can then export properly into Word format.
