Automating reviewer revisions (text, slides, images) from a Word handout into Storyline 360?
Hi everyone,
We maintain large Storyline 360 courses (200+ slides) and use this review process:
- Publish the course to Word (slide image, title, notes).
- A subject-matter expert marks changes with highlights: red = remove, green = add/replace. This applies to notes text, titles, images, and whole slides (red slide = delete it, green slide = add a new one).
- I apply every change manually in Storyline.
I can automate the text part by editing the exported XLIFF and re-importing it. What I can't find is a way to automate the slide-level changes (adding and deleting slides, replacing images).
Questions:
- Does anyone have a workflow that handles slide add/delete and image replacement, not only text?
- Is there any supported way to script or bulk-edit a project (I understand there is no SDK)?
- How do you handle large volumes of SME revisions? Is Review 360 better for this than Word?
Any ideas, even partial ones, would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am currently developing a tool that might help you. I will have to know more information about your workflow to try and customize it for your needs. You can contact me via linkedin if interested:
http://www.linkedin.com/in/tebeid/I do not automate this, I use review for feedback and use the comments to work through each change.
There are some tools out there that I suspect will do some of this, my concern with automating is that you increase the risk oif corrupting the source file.
Thank you for your response! I understand your concern about the risk of corrupting the source file.
I’m currently exploring a way to automate revisions using Word documents with highlighted changes and XLIFF files, without directly modifying the original Storyline project.
My goal is to reduce the time spent on repetitive revisions while keeping the process safe.
Have you come across any specific tools that might help with this?
