    Hello, Laura!  ✨

    I'm happy to share that we have released a new update for Storyline 360 (3.81.31200.0).

Hi Laura,

Thanks for your reply; I'm happy to chime in! I tried to import your PowerPoint file to Storyline using a slide size of 1280x720 and confirmed that the bottom text was scaled to 14pt instead of 8pt. I agree with Steven that this is an existing bug we are currently monitoring. We've shared your findings with the team and will notify you of any changes. Here's a peek into our process:

Regarding the duplicated objects in the Storyline import, it appears they are also duplicated in the source PowerPoint file, as shown below.

I'd remove the duplicates in PowerPoint before importing the slides. Let me know if you have questions!
