Hello - Is there any possible way to convert an exported file back to a working / editable file ???? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Aug 12, 2016

I desperately need to update and edit  a course that was created ( by my collegue ) but we cannot seem to locate a unpublished or non output file any where on any system or drive. It seems to have been deleted.

We have searched "My Documents" on all licenced computers and then in the "My Articulate Projects file" with absolutely no luck

I do have all the below files but not the articulate editable version,

Chrome HTML Document, File folders, XSD files, XML Documents,

 

PLEASE HELP  :-)

Hi Sandra,

The source (story) files aren't typically located in the "My Articulate Projects" folder - this is where the outputs reside.

While I can't tell you where the file is located, run a search for *.story on all local hard disks and see if anything that comes up reminds you of the course in question.

Hope this helps,
Alex

I cringe at the thought of your weekend now Sandra - but Wendy is right...no way to export out or covert the published output to a file you can edit. 

I'd agree with Alex's idea to search for the .story files - and also make sure it's searching the temp files located on the previous computer if it hasn't been wiped clean.

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts, suggestions and prayers.

I can say with a huge sigh of relief that Alex's suggestions to search for *.story was a success........... after searching a few computers and drives I was able to locate an unpublished version.

I really appreciate everyone invaluable input.

 

Happy Monday to you all :-)
