Basic layouts are common slide designs for titles, text, and media. By default, there are always at least five basic layouts from which to choose (but there may be more if you use a template):

  • Title and Content
  • Title Only
  • Question
  • Question with Media
  • Blank

Adding a Basic Layout Slide

There are four ways to add a basic layout slide to your Storyline 360 project:

  • Go to the Home tab on the ribbon, click the New Slide drop-down arrow, scroll to Basic Layouts, and choose a slide thumbnail.
  • Go to the Slides tab on the ribbon, click the New Slide drop-down arrow, and choose a slide thumbnail.
  • In Story View, right-click anywhere in the workspace, scroll to New Slide, scroll to Basic Layouts, and choose a slide thumbnail.
  • In Slide View or Form View, right-click anywhere in the Scenes panel, scroll to New Slide, scroll to Basic Layouts, and choose a slide thumbnail.

Basic layouts are based on your design themes and slide masters as well as any templates you’ve added to the current project.
