Artstor will stop supporting OIV on December 31, 2019 to transition to more sustainable teaching tools. OIV users must convert their OIV files to new formats to ensure continued access to their work after that time.

As part of this transition, after June 14, 2019 users will no longer be able to import image groups from Artstor to the OIV. Should they need to add images to an OIV presentation after this time, they can download the images from Artstor to their hard drive and add them to OIV directly from their computer. However, we encourage users to instead select one of the following options:

Convert presentations to other file types and modify them in that format (please note that the most recent version of OIV is needed to do this)
Use our online presentation tools to teach with image groups directly in Artstor

Need help?
Attend Artstor's webinar on Thursday, June 27 at 2:00 PM ET to learn about converting your files and ask questions—or sign up to receive a recorded version to watch at a time convenient to you.

Artstor will be offering webinars through December 2019 to help with this transition. If you have immediate concerns about the upcoming changes, please reach out at support@artstor.org to schedule a meeting.
