My hard drive died yesterday and I can see my files in Review 360 but I would like to retrieve them back in Storyline. Is this possible? Otherwise, my work for the last 8 weeks is gone!!!!!
I'm really sorry to hear your hard drive died! That's awful! There isn't a way to retrieve or unpublish a course from Review 360. You'll need the actual project file itself in order to make any edits to the content.
However, there may still be an older version of your file on your computer 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.
Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story.
I suspect retrieval will cost more than 8 weeks work.
Probably not what you want to hear at this stage, a wise man (the late Jack Scofield form the Guardian) once said (well he said it more than once) data does not really exist unless you have it in 2 places, I err on the side of caution and have it stored in 3 place (hard drive, dropbox, external hard drive). My external hard drive is taken offsite when I go away in case of fire.
Agree David, it is much easier if you only worked on it over a short period of time, 8 weeks of work will be scattered over the drive. It also depends if it is an SSD vs Fusion, spinning platters.

Hi Kenneth,

I hope you're able to find something!
Might be worth taking your hard drive to a specialist to see if they can recover the contents.

It's still worth looking at, I'm aware of people who have had this done for no more than £600.
