My computer crashed and some of my files were not able to be recovered. One is my current file for Storyline. I find it in Review where I sent it for approval...but, I no longer have the .story file available...or, I just don't know how to find it.
There is not a way to get a .story project file out of the published Review 360 link.
There may still be a working version of your project in your temp files. Here's how to check:
Open this folder in Windows Explorer: %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline
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.
Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story.
Double-click the file to open it in Storyline.
File corruption is unpredictable, and there's no straightforward way to determine what causes it. Common causes are environmental (disk errors, power outages, improper shutdowns), viruses, failed Windows updates, and even file size (i.e., very large files have a higher risk of corrupting). Consider using the preventative measures described in this article to protect your project files.
I tried your suggestion but there are no files in that folder. When my laptop crashed, they were only able to recover select files...and, none of them were SL files unfortunately. I am usually pretty good at backing up my files; however, I was working on this one right before the crash. At least I have my Review file and older versions that were saved. I'll just have to update an older version with the changes.

Thank you, Leslie...

Thanks for your guidance and quick response.
