Import slides and change to current template

May 19, 2014

Hi!  I'd like to import a slide (and it's 12 layers!)  from a colleagues' storyline project into one that I am creating but I also want to be able to change the look of the slide to the design I am using which is the free template: business-circles (2).  Is there an easy way to do this?  I have worked out how to import the slide, but now I need to find a way to change that slide to my design template.  I know that I'll need to rearrange text boxes and pictures once I have converted it to the new template, but with 12 layers, this will still save me a lot of time.  Thanks!

Hi Nicole and welcome to Heroes!

Is the design your using set up as a layout already? If so, once you've imported the slides you can then apply that layout to your new slides. Similarly if you have a design theme - you can then choose to apply it to particular slides. 

Here's a tutorial on using the slide layouts and one on using design themes.  Also, you'll want to make sure that both your .story files are on a local drive when you open them to conduct the import.
