Ah, no example or download from me this week! I don't use storyboards--I've never figured out how to use them in a way that is helpful for me. Describing interactions and/or animations I want to take place takes longer than just doing them. Copying and pasting from a Word doc into Storyline drives me nuts. Even importing a PowerPoint into Storyline can turn out to be problematic.
I start with a blank Storyline template, and go on developing my prototype (or first draft ) from there. Unless a client requires me to use a specific storyboard document. In that case, I generally end up reverse-engineering the project in order to comply. :)

Me too, Tracy! I do have a downloadable storyboard template on my site, but have only used it on the rarest of occasions.
I use prototypes to do the heavy lifting.

- JodiSansone6 years agoCommunity MemberJackie, I found a template you shared somewhere in the community and it was very helpful. I used it with a client and it helped me get my head together before I started cranking on their project. You never know who will find your posts helpful!
- JackieVanNice6 years agoSuper HeroWow Jodi, that’s great! :-D Very true - you never know. And I remember putting that template together because a client really wanted a storyboard and I didn’t like the templates I was finding, so I guess it could save someone else the same trouble.
With that in mind, I guess I’ll share the template!
Here’s the post about it: https://www.jackievannice.com/?p=175065544
Here’s the download page: https://www.jackievannice.com/?page_id=175068477- JodiSansone6 years agoCommunity MemberYes, that's the one I used! My observation is that my clients and I are conscientious at the beginning about using a template, but then things fall apart later once we get going. I guess now I have to come up with a template of my own to keep my challenge streak going. I'll give it some thought but I doubt I can contribute something more helpful than yours!
