Rise 360 - Mass upload of questions into a question bank
Hello, I have a question, please:
Is there a way to upload a large number of questions at once to a Question Bank?
(for example, using *.csv or *.gift file).
Thanks a lot,
Sivan

Hi SivanShimshi658,
This is a great question!
Currently, Rise 360 doesn't support bulk importing of questions into question banks from external files like Excel or text files. You'll need to manually add questions by creating a new question bank and using the available templates. If you're interested in using Storyline 360, here's how you can import questions from Excel and text files. In the meantime, I've passed along your comments to our product team so we can update you if make any changes!
This would be a great option, I need this same feature as well, would save a ton of time.
Hello ScottBrown-25d3,
Thanks for sharing your voice with us! I've shared your insight with our product team. We'll share future updates in this thread so all are in the loop!
If you know someone competent with Python, you can automate this. I successfully achieved this using Python and a well-structured .xlsx file that contained my questions.
I wonder if I can get copilot to generate the code for me?
How do I:
1. Get the format I need for the excel file?2. Get the access (API?) into my Rise course to point the Python at?
Do you think this is a feasible solution for someone who DOESN'T know Python?The approach doesn't use API at all. It uses Selenium to automate the browser UI exactly as we would by clicking "Add question," selecting options, tabbing between fields, and pasting text from an Excel file.
The Excel file just needs to be a standard .xlsx with each column mapped to a question field (title, answer choices, feedback, etc.) Python reads the file locally using openpyxl, so no special API access is required.
Copilot can absolutely help generate the script, but you still need PY installed and must run automation locally in a browser session where you log in manually.
NB: The approach isn't future-proof. It relies on the current interface and tab order. If the UI is updated, the automation doesn't work.
