Why Reusable Storyline Templates Matter
Reusable templates reduce repetitive work. You can design a base structure once and apply it across modules or courses. Whether you’re developing compliance training or onboarding programs, a good Storyline template saves hours of development time.
Beyond efficiency, they help with visual consistency. Learners recognize familiar layouts and interactions, which improves navigation and experience.
How to Create a Template in Storyline 360
To begin, set up a master slide layout using your brand’s typography, colors, and placeholders. Then save your design as a .storytemplate file.
Add pre-built interactions—quizzes, sliders, or tabs—to increase learner engagement. These elements make your content interactive while maintaining structure.
Pro Tip: Always label template slides clearly for easy reuse and collaboration.
Best Practices for Creating Storyline Templates
- Keep designs modular and easy to duplicate.
- Use master slides and triggers efficiently.
- Test functionality thoroughly before rollout.
- Document template guidelines for your team.
These steps help speed up the Storyline development process while ensuring high-quality output.
