Is it possible to reuse a feedback master in other projects?
Jul 04, 2012
I'm creating three modules for a client, and in one module I have created a feedback master set to align with the color of player I'm using for the course. When I open one of the other modules, my new feedback master isn't available to me on the drop-down list. It would be a huge time-saver if I could re-use that custom feedback master in my other two modules, but I can't figure out how to do it. Is it possible? (If not, it seems like a real oversight.) I can do the work all over again manually for the other two modules, but that seems like a lot of unnecessary work, so I'm hoping I'm just missing something here. Can anyone help? Thanks!

If you open up two instances of Storyline side by side and view master slides you should be able to copy layouts from one to the other.
It would be REALLY nice to have a "Library" feature for something like this, like we can create player Templates which we can re-use.

Hey, Steve--thanks! That workaround does the trick. And yes, Bruce, I couldn't agree more--with all the Articulate team clearly learned from Captivate, I'm surprised that Storyline V1 didn't include a Library so that we can easily reuse any custom-created Themes, Templates, and Masters between projects. I'm very glad Steve's workaround is possible, but I shouldn't have to open multiple iterations of Storyline just to reuse one of my own custom feedback masters. In the next release of Storyline, whether interim or full, I sure hope that a Library feature is in it, along with a good selection of bullet styles. So many great features to Storyline--but some of the basic omissions are that much more surprising as a result! I'm making a list of feature requests to submit, and will look forward to seeing that functionality in a future version for sure.
