Story 360 latest version automatically changes the date modified timestamp of source file

Hi Michael, 

Can I ask if you already have the latest available version of Storyline 360 installed?  Enhanced recovery capabilities were introduced in the February 21, 2023 update (Build 3.73.29831.0), but were rolled back in the March 21, 2023 released (Build 3.73.30119.0). See this link for more details:

You'll want to make sure that you're on the latest update which has the feature that automatically saves the project file disabled. 

Let me know if you have any questions!

I have the March 21, 3.73.30119.0 version.

Hi Michael!

So glad to hear this issue was resolved for you after updating Storyline to version 3.74!

Thank you for the feedback!

I realize that I am out of luck, but for the record the FINAL version of SL3 also does this. I'll try to roll back to the next-to last version, and will thank my lucky stars that I always open copies.
