No instructions on formatting for importing questions
Ok right after posting this since I was spending an enormous amount of wasted time trying to figure this out, I finally got it!
Ok so SL has a built in master slide anytime you create a new .story file. Within this, there are 2 question slides. In these master slides, there are elements on the slide that trigger the program to be used whenever importing the questions from an excel file. They look like this whenever you create a new file, I've highlighted these important elements:
You can see option 1 and option 2 above, in order.
If you take these elements, copy and paste them into your master slides (which you can import into this new .story by either copy/paste a slide that uses your master slides or by inserting a slide from your templates) and then delete these original "blank" master slides.
By deleting the stock/blank master slides, you force the program to choose another slide. By copying/pasting these elements onto a new slide, you're forcing the program to choose your new/branding-compliant master slides.
I've finally gotten the program to apply the right slide! I wish I could make it choose from a few different master slides during the import process to make it even more simple and customized when creating from a bunch of questions in excel. I hope Articulate can add this to their next update ;)
