PDF's in Resources constantly disappearing!!!

Hi,
I have a very frustrating issue. A lot of my modules have resource documents, and they constantly seem to disappear when I republish the file.
I add them in and publish the file, upload to our LMS and they are working fine. A few weeks or a month may go by and I reopen the storyfile to update a bug, typo etc and republish the story file and upload to the LMS only to find the resources are no longer there. This happens continuously on all my files.
I often publish and zip the file and check under the story_content folder and normally there should be a folder saying External files and its no longer there.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? and why does it continually happen??

If you move the files from the location they were originally installed into your project when you reopen and publish Storyline cannot find them and cannot attach them. This is a persistent bug in SL2, as in SL1 they were saved into the SL file.
Thanks Phil.
This seems to happen even when the files haven't been moved to a different location.
I though that SL2 would take a copy of the file and keep it within the player.
Hi Amy,
Are you working with and publishing to a local drive? You mentioned that you publish and zip, do you use the zip button on the publish successful box? You mention the file is missing in the folder, but does it work once you've uploaded it?
Hello,
I think I have the exact same problem.
Resources are still NOT included in the story file even with SL360 ?
We've been republishing many, many files last year because of the end of Flash support and we did it from various locations (we split source files between us and copied them on our laptops).
So there are great chances that nearly all those projects miss their resources, right?
