I am trying to import a pptx file with a world map into Storyline. The file consists of many different objects, which I cannot group because I want to use different hover effects for each region and therefore I don't want to group them. When I try to import the file in Articulate Storyline, only part of the objects are imported (for example, North America and the location pins are missing).
Also, when I import the file with grouped elements and try to ungroup it in Storyline I get an error message saying that there are too many objects to ungroup.
Can someone please help me out with this issue? I have attached the PPT file.
