Location of Storyline 2 Templates, Players, Themes, etc.

Hi Melanie,

Yup  - it looks like you've got those correct and you'll always want to ensure you're working with all local project files and that Storyline is installed locally. 

%userprofile%\Documents\My Articulate Projects\Storyline Templates

Thanks Ashley.  Yes, I always work on my c:drive. Have many years of Presenter experience that taught me the value of that. :)

Where should the themes *.anthm files get stored? I wasn't sure about that path.

Hi Melanie!

I think it's in the app roaming folder.  At least it is on my machine.  Here's a cool tip (and I apologize if you already know this!).  

If you go to the design tab and click on the down arrow (see attached image), it will open up the opportunity to save or browse for themes.  If you click the browse for themes icon, you should be able to see the path in the window that opens.

Hi Melanie,

Mike beat me too it but please let us know if you need anything else. 

Thanks Mike. Yes, I can see the path of where my current theme files are. But my problem is that it is going to the network H:drive, and it shouldn't be.

So should the theme and the player files both be saved to the app roaming folder named payer on the c:drive? The storytemplate should be saved to the documents\projects\templates path on the c:drive?

I want to be sure because if the IT person offered to reinstall to do this for me, I need more than "I think".

Thanks

Hi Melanie,

Yes, the Themes should be saved here:  C:\Users\%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Articulate\Storyline\Themes

Templates: %userprofile%\Documents\My Articulate Projects\Storyline Templates

Player files:

• Windows Vista or later: 
  C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Articulate\Shared\2.0\Players
• Windows XP: 
  C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Articulate\Shared\2.0\Players

Hope that helps with your IT guy reinstalling! 

Thanks a bunch for all your help!

No problem Melanie. 

I see'

\Documents\My Articulate Projects \ Storyline Templates

However the template folder is empty.  How can I access the templates? Thanks

Hi there, Indrani!  Have you saved any Storyline projects as templates?  In Storyline 2, this is how you can work with and create .storytemplate files to reuse in other projects.  That tutorial includes a link to our community page with loads of example templates!
