Export question bank to use in another Storyline project
Is there a way to export or copy a question bank from one storyline project to another?
I have two projects and some of the questions need to be used in both. I would rather not have to re-built a question bank if there is another option.

Hi Amy,
If you're using the same set of questions on the question bank, you'd probably be better of copy/pasting the .story file and make changes on your copy. That way you will retain the question bank (and all the questions).Hope this helps,

Thaks for the reply but that won't work - 1 project has just 1 question back while the other currently has 4 (an extended version of the first) and I need to add the question bank form the first project to the second - thereby having 5 question banks.

Amy,
You probably have solved this already, but if double click on a question in the question bank, it opens all of the questions as slides. You can then copy those slides and paste them into the new Storyline file where you would start a new question bank and choose "import questions already in this project" then select the slides with questions you just pasted.

That was an ideal tip for me - just what I was hoping to achieve, thanks Andrew.
Hi Andrew! I wanted to welcome to E-Learning Heroes! Thanks for the tips

Thanks for the tip Andrew, however I have not been able to copy any slides from one project to another.
Hi Amy! How about importing them, we advise that method anyway

This is not obvious how to accomplish but I figured it out (though I see this thread is a year old). For example, I have two separate projects that I want to combine. I want to add the questions bank from "B" to the "A" project. I opened the blank question bank in project "A" and clicked to add a question. The options box appears where you can choose the type of question, but there is also a tab called "IMPORT" which allows you to browse to another project and import slides from there. It imports the "B" question bank as a new question bank in "A". DONE.

Thanks Erin for walking through the steps here and here are additional directions on how to insert new questions into a question bank.
