Some way to recover lost files....

Oct 09, 2012

Hello Articulate community,

I wanted to give my two cents on a problem that I have been facing for sometime now - I work on my Quizmaker files for an entire day, save my work as I go along, but unfortunately, I have no means to recover those files in case the application crashes or my files have corrupted (the latter happens quite often in my case).

It would help if there was some way to recover work in progress files (like the way Microsoft Word has) - that way I don't have to scratch my head in vain, in case something happens to Articulate or my quiz files.

I hope you are taking care of this point in Studio '12.

Thanks,

Aarti

Hi Aarti

The only way I get around this with any Articulate product right now is to save incremental versions whenever I create a change that I don't want to 'lose', i.e. add something or make a tweak that would take time to remember/rebuild.

I also back up using Easeus Todo.

Thanks for the quick response, Simon! Your strategy does make sense till the time folks at Articulate don't find a more permanent solution to the issue.

I haven't worked with EaseUs Todo, but will definitely see how it works.

If I have published the file, it seems like that would have saved it. After working on it all day today and publishing a few times to articulate online, the program crashed and it has reverted back to a version that I saved yesterday. Any suggestions on what to do would be appreciated!!!

Publishing doesn't save quiz maker, you may have lost your work.
