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.

  • Glad to see that this thread is continuing to assist users. Thanks for popping in to share Kevin.

  • Hi Mauro,

    It sounds like you're trying to combine two Storyline files, is that correct? Are you importing quiz questions from one file into a question bank in another file?

    There are a couple of things we can check before we dig any deeper:

    • First, be sure you're on the latest update of Storyline 3. You can check what update you have by going to Help >> About Storyline.
    • Also, be sure your file is stored on your local hard drive.

    Let me know if you're already on the latest update and working locally, and we'll keep digging!

  • I'm looking at how to export question in Storyline back to Excel, where they were originally created. Is there an easy way to do this? (not copy and paste)

  • Hi Jennifer,

    There isn't an option to export back to Excel, but you could look at the options for exporting for translation - and use that Word document to covert it into Excel or a table.

    Hi, 

    Can you confirm there is still no option to be able to export a question bank to excel ?

    Anu other way to get an excel file of all questions and their answers ?

     

    Thank's ! :)

      Thanks for following up, Elodie, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! 😊

      I'm sorry, but this isn't an option in Storyline. Have you tried achieving this with the translation feature? You could export to a Word document, then convert it into Excel or a table like my teammate, Ren, suggests here.

    Hi,

     

    Thank you for the quick reply !

    Unfortunately this action keeps on failing because of the error attached in the screenshot.

    Unlucky me :)

      Hello again, Elodie!

      I've seen this error thrown in a text-heavy Storyline project. Have you tried breaking the .story file into multiple parts by doing a save as on the original first? Then you can export in smaller chunks!
