Copy/paste slide while keeping variables
Mar 19, 2021
If I create a slide with triggers that use variables, is there a way to copy/paste that slide into a new storyline file without having to reassign all of the variables? I added the variables to the new file and they are called the same thing, they just aren’t recognized and I have to go through and reassign them all. I’m assuming no... but I’m working on a really large project with dozens of modules that are in separate files and as I go I keep changing my mind on how I want certain things configured and I spend so much time reassigning triggers each time I paste from another file. Thanks!

Hi, Jeannie.
The recommended solution is to import slides from other .story files instead of copying and pasting them.
However, you can also copy slides from one file to another while keeping the original ones' variables and triggers.
I created a short Peek 360 recording showing you how to do that. The trick is to have two instances of Storyline open.
Let me know if this works!
Love this Maria. Thanks for sharing.
