If you're using the same set of questions on the question bank, you'd probably be better of copy/pasting the .story file and make changes on your copy. That way you will retain the question bank (and all the questions).
Thaks for the reply but that won't work - 1 project has just 1 question back while the other currently has 4 (an extended version of the first) and I need to add the question bank form the first project to the second - thereby having 5 question banks.
You probably have solved this already, but if double click on a question in the question bank, it opens all of the questions as slides. You can then copy those slides and paste them into the new Storyline file where you would start a new question bank and choose "import questions already in this project" then select the slides with questions you just pasted.
This is not obvious how to accomplish but I figured it out (though I see this thread is a year old). For example, I have two separate projects that I want to combine. I want to add the questions bank from "B" to the "A" project. I opened the blank question bank in project "A" and clicked to add a question. The options box appears where you can choose the type of question, but there is also a tab called "IMPORT" which allows you to browse to another project and import slides from there. It imports the "B" question bank as a new question bank in "A". DONE.

Hello! I've tried using this method, also tried simple copy/paste, but Storyline 3 keeps importing questions without copying the answers... See the attached file. Any tip?
It sounds like you're trying to combine two Storyline files, is that correct? Are you importing quiz questions from one file into a question bank in another file?
There are a couple of things we can check before we dig any deeper:
First, be sure you're on the latest update of Storyline 3. You can check what update you have by going to Help >> About Storyline.
Also, be sure your file is stored on your local hard drive.
Let me know if you're already on the latest update and working locally, and we'll keep digging!
I'm looking at how to export question in Storyline back to Excel, where they were originally created. Is there an easy way to do this? (not copy and paste)
There isn't an option to export back to Excel, but you could look at the options for exporting for translation - and use that Word document to covert it into Excel or a table.
Thanks for following up, Elodie, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! 😊
I'm sorry, but this isn't an option in Storyline. Have you tried achieving this with the translation feature? You could export to a Word document, then convert it into Excel or a table like my teammate, Ren, suggests here.
I've seen this error thrown in a text-heavy Storyline project. Have you tried breaking the .story file into multiple parts by doing a save as on the original first? Then you can export in smaller chunks!

Hi Amy,

Hope this helps,

Hi Andrew! I wanted to welcome to E-Learning Heroes! Thanks for the tips
Thanks for the tip Andrew, however I have not been able to copy any slides from one project to another.
Hi Amy! How about importing them, we advise that method anyway

Thanks Erin for walking through the steps here and here are additional directions on how to insert new questions into a question bank.
Thanks Andrew! Your solution saved me tons of time.
Thanks Andrew your tip saved me lots of time too.
That was an ideal tip for me - just what I was hoping to achieve, thanks Andrew.
Glad to see that this thread is continuing to assist users. Thanks for popping in to share Kevin.

Hi,
Can you confirm there is still no option to be able to export a question bank to excel ?
Anu other way to get an excel file of all questions and their answers ?
Thank's ! :)

Hi,
Thank you for the quick reply !
Unfortunately this action keeps on failing because of the error attached in the screenshot.
Unlucky me :)
