How to add slides to a project in Team Slides
Jul 12, 2018

I'm slowly building up our template slides to use with Team Slides but I cannot find an option on how to add to a project. Here's my structure:
Project - Company Template
Folders - Default Slides, Quiz Slides, Menus
If I want to add something to the Default Slides, it will ask me to create a new project. I can use an existing project as a name but it will not add that slide to that project. It will just create another project with the same name. If I view my folder, I will see slides on their own having the same project name instead of being grouped together in the same project.

Hey Calvin!
The best way to add a slide to an existing project in Team Slides is to import the all slides from the existing project into the file that contains the new slide. Then, once the new slide is in the correct place, save the project, and re-share it to the Team Slides folder. Be sure to choose Replace an existing project.
Tip: You can only replace slides you shared. You can’t replace slides shared by other team members. Learn more about permissions.
I guess that would be the workaround for now. Is there a plan to make it more straightforward?
Hey Calvin,
That's not something on our roadmap at this time, but we're tracking requests like this one for future feature ideas. Thanks for letting us know how we can make Team Slides even better!
Hi Calvin,
I have not heard of any plans to change the process in place, but if you have an idea and a use-case, you are certainly welcome to share it with our team here.
I am trying to add slides to a team slide (Slides-Team Slides-Share Project-Add Team Slides (crewate a New Project) name of project in this field), however once I hit "Add" I get a message that is is uploading, but then I get a red X saying "An Unexpected Error Occurred while trying to publish your slides". Can you tell me what I am doing wrong and how to upload these slides? message
Hi Cynthia! Sorry you've hit a wall trying to add new Teams Slides! Thanks for also opening a case. I do see the screenshot and Storyline file you sent to us, and Abel is looking further into this issue now. You'll hear back from him soon!
I am having the same issue as Cynthia did. Was there ever a solution found?
Hi there, Ariel. Cynthia helped us to discover an issue with adding question slides that had question text containing more than 255 characters. Those slides produced this error when trying to add them to Team Slides.
Does that match your setup?
I am having the same issue. I don't have a question slide that has 255 characters.
Is there a possible other solution?
Hey Stephanie,
I am sorry you are hitting a snag here. Since the question has less than 255 characters, another option we can try is replacing the question that would be entered in the Form View with a Text Box.
I made a quick video showing this workflow here: Text Box Workflow
Give that a try and let me know if you have any additional questions!
Thanks it works
I'm having the same trouble but I am using a freeform question to open up layers as a way to navigate.
Hi Mark,
This conversation is a little bit older, so let's start fresh and see if we can troubleshoot!
Looking forward to hearing back!
Hi Everyone,
I have some good news to share!
We just released the newest version of Storyline 360, (Build 3.39.21985.0) this morning. This update fixes the issue where an error would appear when uploading team slides if a quiz question had more than 255 characters. You can find more details on this update here:
The next step is to update Storyline 360 by heading to your Articulate 360 desktop app and clicking "Update" next to Storyline 360.
As always, we are happy to answer any questions you have!
