Thanks Wendy. So, I can open and covert SL2 files in SL360.

Clarify...why would I need to open SL360 files in SL2?

Thanks,
Meredith

Hi Meredith

do you mean developers opening a SL2 file in SL360 - yes? but not the other way around.

Hi Meredith

I was just confirming that the versions are NOT backward compatible.

So when you open a SL2 project in SL360, SL will create a backup of the SL2 file (which can still be opened in SL2) but the original file will become a SL360 file.  This upgrade file cannot be opened in SL2, if you or another developer needed to edit it they would need access to SL360 or use the SL2 copy.

You won't be able to collaborate on files if one developer is using SL2 and the other SL360.

Thanks All!  I was able to upload the file and send it Victor at Articulate support. He somehow managed to find an image in the file that was not formatted as a .png or jpg file.  Not sure what kind of magic he worked to find it, but he did.  Then he reformatted the image into a picture (png) and added it back.  After that small change I was able to upgrade the file to SL360 with no issues.  Since he told me which image was causing the problem, I was able to fix the Spanish and Portuguese files myself  by replacing that one image.   I'm good to go on all three files now!

Hi there, Carolyn. So sorry you're getting that error!

I haven't seen other reports of this message, and I'd love to help get that sorted for you. First, let's try to upload the LMS package to SCORM Cloud, another LMS environment, to see if we see the same message.

If you see it happen in SCORM Cloud, that tells us that the issue lies in Storyline. From there, I'll dig in to find the culprit!

Let me know if you need a hand along the way! With your permission, I'll investigate the .story file and will delete it after troubleshooting. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. Thanks!
