Back to Basics: Tabs on the Master Slide

When I saw this week's challenge, I immediately remembered a Sales Training Brochure I had created a while back in PowerPoint — where I had built the tab navigation on the Master Slide so I didn't have to rebuild it on every single slide. I thought, I can just import this into Storyline 360 and ta-da! 🎉

What I Used

This Sales Training Brochure was already built in PowerPoint with six tabs: Overview, Participants, Sales Leadership Engagement, Program, 2026 Offerings, and Registration & Contacts. I simply imported it into Storyline 360 and it was ready to go.

The design has a clean corporate aesthetic — navy and slate, bold tab labels, strong branding — the kind of polished piece you'd hand a sales rep on day one.

But the build strategy is the real story.

Import PowerPoint Into Storyline 360

Since I had put the entire tab navigation on the Master Slide in PowerPoint, all six tab buttons — styled, positioned, linked — were built once and inherited by every slide automatically. When I imported the brochure into Storyline 360, I didn't have to update a single trigger. Everything just worked. 🙌

That Old-School Folder Feel

The top tab layout mimics a physical tabbed binder — the kind you'd actually find in a sales kit. Familiar, intuitive, and a little nostalgic. ✨
