I am working on a consulting project with a team of other developers. I have Storyline 2, and they all have Storyline 1. As the lead developer I am creating all of the templates and navigation slides. The rest of the team can't even open my files.
Is there a way to save my file in a format they can open? We have a big deadline on Monday and I don't have the time to have someone rebuild this in SL 1.
Hi, is there the same compatibility issue between Articulate 3 and 2? Because I'm actually facing a similar problem. Template created by my team in Articulate 3 that I need to use on articulate 2...
Storyline 1 and Storyline 2 projects can be upgraded to Storyline 3, but Storyline 3 projects can’t be opened or edited with previous versions.
Storyline 360 projects can be opened and edited with Storyline 3 except when they include new features that exist only in Storyline 360. Storyline 3 projects can always be opened and edited with Storyline 360.
This is a great discussion! I have a quick question related to version conversion (that would be a great lyric in a song!). The company I am now working for is about to move from Storyline 2 to Storyline 3. Are there any conversion quirks/issues that we should be aware of or look out for? Thank you in advance for your input!
I have a client on SL3 who wants me to develop a "tour" of a new software program they developed. I have SL2. Is there any issue with them converting the .story file to SL3 with screencasts? I don't want to find myself in a bad situation of handing over a SL2 file that doesn't give them some functionality they might expect, but it seems like a simple screencast project.
Normally there are no problems, but there is a chance that something may go wrong. Could you download the free trial once you finish and do the conversion to SL3 yourself?

Hello Carrie Ann!
Welcome to the community! As Matthew stated, Storyline 2 is not backwards compatible with Storyline 1.

Thanks.
Same problem, stuff made in 3 won't open in 2.

Ok, that's very clear. Thanks a lot Ashley.

Hi Stoo,
Storyline 2 files should upgrade to Storyline 3 files without concern. Some things you'll want to keep in mind:
• The new responsive player, which automatically makes your course look great on any phone or tablet.
• The ability to add and customize closed captions.
• Structure text with tables.
• More ways to create interactivity with new dial interactions.
• New trigger events and motion path enhancements.
• Better HTML5 output.
• And a bunch of productivity enhancements
Check out this comparison of Storyline 1, 2, and 3 for all the details.
If you run into something specific that you're unsure about, let me know!
Hi Ashley! Thanks for your quick reply! I hope all is well with you!

No complaints here, Stoo. 😀
Let me know if you need anything else!
