Storyline file can't open due to "features not available to in this storyline version"

Jan 21, 2021

Hi, I can't seem open to my file and it says,

"This project won't open because it uses features that aren't available in this version of storyline." 

I checked and updated to the latest version but still got the same outcome. What should I do??

Hi SGUT,

I'd agree, it looks like that file you're attempting to access was opened in a Beta version of Storyline. Those versions have new features that aren't yet compatible with our existing public version of Storyline.

If you need help confirming that and removing that element, please feel free to share with our Support Team

If you create a new file in storyline the file is upgraded and includes the scroll panels even if you don't use them. SL3 at the moment cannot open these. I would expect a fix to this when the next version of SL3 is released. In the meantime during the beta of this feature Articulate could downgrade a file so it could be opened in the SL360 production version. I don't know if that will work for SL3 I would open a support case and ask them.
