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.

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!

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 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.

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

Thanks Andrew! Your solution saved me tons of time.
Thanks Erin for walking through the steps here and here are additional directions on how to insert new questions into a question bank.

So there is NO Way to export a Questions Bank from one project and import it into another storyline ? and these steps do not work?

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.
