Downloading From Articulate Review back to Storyline 360

I accidentally overwrite a Storyline file.  Is there a feature in 360 to recover that file I overwrite which I also have published for review already?

Hi there, Ramabhadra!

There isn't a way to draw the .story file from published output at this time, but let's see if we can find the needed version in your temp folder. Here's how to check:

1) Open this folder in Windows Explorer: %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline 

2) 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 latest version to your desktop. 

3) Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story

4) Double-click the file to open it in Storyline. 

Also, did you have any luck using the Undo button (ctrl+z) before closing the file? 

Anymore news on the above ask? Is it on the to-do list?

Hi Dayna,

Thank you for inquiring about this feature! 

While I don't have any updates to share, I will be sure to include your voice in our report. As soon as we have more news to share, we will be sure to update this thread! 

Add my name to the list of users requesting this feature. I am battling a corrupt file as well.

Hi, Do we still not have the ability to download a published Review 360 file? Would have thought after all the number of requests from many years ago we have this by now. I have been tasked with continuing a project from a colleague who is on long term sick leave. Cannot access his files. So have no choice but to start from scratch :(

Hi, I mirror all the other requests as I have just saved over the original file. Please add my voice to your list. Thanks 

I've also just run into this issue too. Bringing back a focus to this feature request. Thank you!

Hi I have a quiz in Review 360 but cannot locate the Storyline file. Would be great if we could move the file from Review 360 back to Storyline?

Hello Craig, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊

Thank you for sharing what you are currently experiencing. The project file is not included in the publishing project in any format, including Review 360.

You should locate the file in the location where you saved it. If you use Storyline 360, the file will be a .story file extension. You mentioned a quiz, so that may be a .quiz file from Quizmaker 360.

This thread is more than 4 years old and everyone has just ONE request... 

A way to convert your OWN review back to STORY or at least the SCORM (.zip) file.

I see several people who have voiced their concerns and a zillion more might be just silently waiting for a solution. 

What exactly would it take for articulate to develop a simple solution for the owner to download from their own published Review?

Some of us have had to re-create everything ground-up and waste a lot of time and effort because this feature is missing... and we work against strict timelines from our clients and can't particularly wait a few years for Articulate to enable something that's so simple.

I would like to add my name to this list of folks who would like the option of downloading a SL file from a review link. 

(But perhaps with a way to prevent others for downloading your work? Maybe only the account that created the lesson could re-download it somehow...)

Thanks Articulate Team : )

Hello Laura, everyone,

Storyline just received a new update today which includes a new feature called Cloud Backup. This means that from this version onwards, any Storyline course you publish to Review can be backed up to the cloud. Pair this with the just recently released Team Folders feature and now you can easily share Storyline project files with your team. No need to upload to a third party vendor.

This also opens the door to be able to keep keep different versions of your course, and access them from anywhere with your Articulate 360 account.
