Automation Tools to Use with Storyline 360?

Hi,

For my company, I spend a lot of time copying and pasting questions and answers from Excel sheets into quiz slides in Storyline. I also need to create new slides and insert videos, then rename the slides to match the video section based on the same Excel sheet.

Because of the nature of the work, it feels ripe for mistakes and a huge waste of time. If a robot can perform these tasks, it would be more efficient and probably less inclined to make mistakes (so long as the functions are properly defined).

I'm always happy to review to make sure there aren't lingering issues, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any automation tools that work well within Storyline 360 and can draw data from an Excel spreadsheet and possibly even navigate file explorer?

    Great question, Elbert! I'm excited to see what ideas folx in the community share!

    In the meantime, I wanted to pop in to welcome you to E-Learning Heroes and share this article on importing questions from Excel in case it would be helpful in your design 😊

  • for the questions there is a template in excel to import questions into Storyline otherwise there is no real automation for the other tasks.
