Trouble when copy pasting slides from one story to another...

Hi Aaron,

Can you tell me more about what's happening when importing slides from one project to another? Are the slides appearing blank? 

Also...

• What version of Storyline are you using?
• Are you working from your local hard drive?
• Are you following these steps when importing?

Thanks!

Hi Alyssa,

When  importing I get blank spaces.

I believe the images are corrupted, as before importing the slide I changed some of the images.

The pictures changed in the presentation but the filenames didn't change, so when I try to import it looks as if it is looking for the wrong filename.

I'm using Storyline 3 and yes I am working on hard drive

I have added the example, try changing the image and see if the filename changes

Thanks

Thanks, Aaron. I do see when using the "Change Picture" feature that the file name doesn't change. It does seem that those images files could be corrupt. Are you able to replace the images using Insert >> Images feature instead? 

I have same problem for quiz. which I need to change to another scene, all the setting in quiz is gone..

Hi Madeline!

It sounds like you may have moved quiz slides from one scene to another, and the settings were lost in the process. Can you tell me more about what happened?

Also, what version of Storyline are you using?

I'm suffering this problem. Importing the whole slide does work but is a horrible workaround. Please fix this fundamental error. Copy/Paste is a staple requirement for anything on a computer!

Hi all-

I have had similar problems in the past. Happening again in a couple of courses I'm working on.

I also tried the import. I doesn't work properly for me either. When copy/pasting, I at least get the thumbnails--when importing I don't even get those. Audio is missing as well.

As mentioned in the thread, you can click on the "images" even though there isn't anything there, so I've simply been right click->Change picture to re-import the image. That way it retains the scaling/positioning/timing/animations/etc. Not a fix, but more efficient than having to adjust all that stuff over and over.

Thanks,
Dave

Okay, looking at this thread got me thinking...
Perhaps the corruption was in the course I was importing to rather than from.

So let's say I have:

• Course_A: the course I want to copy the additional pages to
• Course_B: the course I am copying the additional pages from

I created a new blank file (Course_C) with same the dimensions as Course _A, and then imported Course_A into it--in effect, creating a copy of the course.

Then I imported the slides I wanted from Course_B into Course_C.
So far, it appears to have worked properly.

Hi, I try to copy and paste slides from one to another project. I also tried importing as shown above. In the attachment you can see what the the original is and how I see the copied /imported one. No text and some things moved.
Is there any solution so I don't have to correct al slides (about 400)?

Hi Jos and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing with your slides.

Is the story size the same in both projects? 

Would you be able to share your .story file so that we can take a look at importing as well? You can share it privately with our team here and it will be deleted when troubleshooting is completed.
