No instructions on formatting for importing questions

How come there are no formal instructions for formatting when we import questions from an excel file? I'm trying and testing over and over to see what the program prefers from a master slide before ...

I've copied those elements into my slide master layout, and storyline still selects a different, unrelated slide master. When I change layout to the correct one, it populates correctly now. Has anyone figured out how to get it to select a specific slide master layout?

    Hello Brian,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    Storyline 360 will always apply Slide Master layout 1 to the imported content. You'll want to make sure that you're making changes to the top most Slide Master layout if you would like these changes to get applied to the content that you're importing. 

    Unfortunately, there isn't a way to set which layout gets applied apart from the first one. I'll let the community chime in to see if anyone has any workarounds that they'd be willing to share!

      This is what was confusing me. The file I received from you was selecting the last Slide master, first layout. When I tried to duplicate with the desired slide master, it was the first slide master, last layout that was selected by the software. Not consistent behavior at all.
