Is there any easy way to bring a presentation back from Review to Storyline 360? I've accidentally save over top of my Storyline file with another presentation.
There isn't a way to unpublish a course from Review. You'll need the actual project file itself in order to make any edits to the content.
However, there may still be an older version of your file on your computer in your temp files! Here's how to check:
Open this folder in Windows Explorer: %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline
Scan the contents of this folder for a file that starts with the name of your project. If you find one, copy it to your desktop. If you find more than one, copy the version closest to before you overrode it.
Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story.
Hey there. I've had the same question because I'm looking for a way to collaborate with a client. It would be great if I could upload the file and use Articulate Review to collect comments. But I also want them to be able to download the project file afterwards.
Another example of collaboration would be if they need support during their own producing process: We thought that they could upload their Storyline File, so that I can download and check it quickly to help them out when their stuck.
That isn't yet an option in Articulate 360 - but they could share the Review link with you and include a download link for a .story file that they've shared via Dropbox, Droplr, or similar tools. I also haven't tested attaching a .story file directly into a Review comment attachment - but depending on size of your file, you could give that a try!
I did the same thing. I saved over it accidentally when I was creating something else. I just need the .zip file for my LMS. There needs to be a way you can download the file from Articulate Review. It's on their server.
We don't have an option to download a published Storyline course from Review, but if you published a new version of it you should be able to see the earlier versions from the top drop-down menu.
We'll keep folks posted if that's a feature which is added, seems like it'd help a few people!
I also made this same mistake. I saved over my Storyline file with something else. I can find the file in Review but no option for me to bring it back to Storyline. I did check to see if I could find any other version of the file but no such luck.
This would be very helpful if this feature was added. Thanks.
I, too, have hit a need for this feature. My course is still available in review, I have a serious need to download it. :| I've not been able to locate the .tmp file. Thanks, -t.
Hi, Tammy. Thanks for adding your voice, and sorry to hear of this roadblock!
We'll take this valuable context into consideration as we prioritize and plan for future enhancements. If we add this feature in a future update of Review 360, we promise to keep everyone here updated.
We don't want you losing your hard work, so our Support team is ready to help. Feel free to connect with them here!
Thanks for adding your voices! That helps us to track the impact of this request.
Just a note: This feature request is written with the goal of grabbing published output from Review 360. Like all other published output, there won't be a way to open and edit those files in our authoring tools.
I can't imagine there would ever be a technical way for Articulate to turn uploaded content back to a Storyline file, because of how different they are...but I know that when you publish Adobe Captivate content to an Adobe Connect server, there is an option to include (upload) the original source file (the Captivate project file) along with it.
I know having the option to include a copy of the Storyline project would increase storage space, but I'd personally be willing to publish less versions of my projects in lieu of space for the source file.
Hi Ali. Just want to say thank you for these instructions. Got a corrupted file issue today on one of the SL360 files I'm working on. I thought I needed to rebuild. Was able to retrieve from tmp! Thanks again :)
I corrupted my storyline file by following guidance in these forums. I can no longer edit my storyline and will have to start from scratch. This should be a feature or you should at least put some kind of warning before telling users to open their files in notepad willy nilly. That was several days of work.

Let me know how that goes!
Thank you; unfortunately, I had to re-create the project file.

Is there a way to do this in SL360?

Hi Ashley, uploading the file as a Review comment attachment worked fine for me! Thank you
Awesome, glad that helped!

Ditto here. This option can't come soon enough.

Agreed. We just had to recreate several courses due to this and it's rework and a pain to start over again.
I'm so sorry that happened to you, Alicia. I can understand why that would be painful! Thanks for adding your voice to this request. 😊
Hi, I think it would be helpful to get back scorm at least.
Agree with all requests. The ability to re-create a SL file from Review would be great.
