Question: Question Banks and Freeform
For some certain functionality tweaks, I need to do one of two things in Storyline 2:
1. Convert an existing slide in a question bank to Freeform (but the Freeform button is greyed out) OR
2. Put a Freeform question into my question bank so it can be selected randomly in my quiz.
For the life of me I cannot figure out what to do and the tutorials and videos are no help. Can someone here please help?
Hi there Kathleen!
Question banks generally contain question slides, you can also add freeform questions, if you'd like. Click New Slide, then select the Quizzing tab to add a freeform interaction. See this tutorial for details. I hope this helps!

Hi there,
I'm using that thread as it tends to covers what I'm trying to achieve in SL3.
Is that possible to, instead of adding manually a freeform to a question bank, import a series of question from an excel file to a question bank based on a freeform we would have designed earlier?
Hope it's clear :)
Olivier

Hello, I am using SL3. Was able to import questions to a scene (which inserts many slides) but how do I import questions into the Quiz Bank so that I can draw from QB in 1 slide? Thanks in advance! 9 Jul 2021

Hi, Rachel.
Thank you for reaching out!
If you already have questions in your project as different slides, you can import them to a question bank.
You can go to Slides > Question Banks > Create a new question bank, then after naming the question bank, you can click on the screen to import questions already in this project.
Let me know if this works!
