I am trying to access old Articulate files that were created by someone else who is no longer with my organization. I don't know which version of Articulate that was used, but I need to gain access to the files to change the branding. Is there anyway I can do this with my new Storyline license?
If you're using Storyline2, then you should be able to open old Storyline1 files. The system will simply ask you to create (automatically) a backup file for the old version.
Do you get this pop-up message? Are you sure you're trying to open an old Storyline1 file?
If it's a Storyline file then you can check the file extension: if it's a .story then you can use Storyline 2.
If you are trying to open a Power Point file, then it was built with Articulate Studio. In this case you'll have to use Articulate Studio, not Storyline.
If it's a ppt presentation, you can import the power point within Storyline, but you'll lose all the interactions and audio file.
Looks like Mauro has you covered here - and if you've only got Storyline here are directions on how to import Powerpoint and Presenter elements.
Additionally I wanted to let you know that responding via email includes your signature here so you may want to look at editing the post to remove that information if you don't want it out in the public forums.
The files were built with engage and were created in 2008. They are standard courses so the subject matter is still relevant, I simply need to change the logo so I am trying to determine the most efficient way to do this, without having to recreate 50 courses (many are well over an hour long :( )
If they were created in the first edition of Engage, you'd need to update to Engage 09 and then you could import that one into Storyline (or go all the way to Engage '13 if you need HTML5 output).

I don't think it was built in Storyline. I believe it may have been built in Studio 09. How can I tell?

Hey guys, thanks!

Hi Caroline,
Do you know when in 2008? Engage 09 was actually released in September of 2008 so you'd still be able to import Engage 09 content into Storyline as detailed here.
If they were created in the first edition of Engage, you'd need to update to Engage 09 and then you could import that one into Storyline (or go all the way to Engage '13 if you need HTML5 output).
