How to use a Storyline 2 project in Storyline 360 (trial version)

Hi Sigrid!  To upgrade the Storyline 2 course into Storyline 360, you do need to have the .story file.  When you unzip the .zip file, is the .story file in there anywhere?  If all you have is a published output in your zip file, unfortunately there is no way to automatically load that into Storyline 360 and you will need to rebuild it.  

Here are a few tips:

• You can pull images/media from the published file
• Most people just record the old course and add interactions where they need to be rather than build the entire course over again

Tom Kuhlmann did a nice blog post on how to update an old course when you don't have the source files: https://blogs.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/heres-an-easy-way-to-update-an-old-course-without-the-source-files/

If unzipping the file doesn't work, try changing the extension.

I once discovered that SharePoint had changed the extension on my .story file to .zip. All I had to do to fix it was simply change the extension back to .story. 

Hi,

Today I got the answer: I had to use the project file (with the extension .story) with which I had saved my project before I had published the project, It was stored on a different drive than the zip file therefore I was not able to find it.

Now, my old project works in Storyline 360. Thanks

Hi Sigrid,

I'm glad you were able to track down the project file and everything is working as expected now.

I appreciate you popping in with an update and welcome to E-Learning Heroes 😊
