where to design

Jul 29, 2013

I'm new to storyline and am a bit confused where design work should take place...in PowerPoint or completely in Storyline?  Am I missing something?

Hi AJ,  I tend to design directly in Storyline when starting a new project from scratch. I start by setting the story size (look for this setting in the design area). I then create my colour theme and set the default fonts, next I set up my slide masters and then configure my player settings.

if I have a lot of content in PowerPoint, I would import them into Storyline and then continue the design work in Storyline.

Hi AJ and welcome to Heroes!

Nancy and Garry are correct - you can start directly in Storyline, or use something you've already created in Powerpoint (and continue working there). If you're thinking about designing your course first in Powerpoint, I'd suggest reading this article  as there are certain features in Powerpoint that will not import the same into Storyline.
