Upgrade to Storyline 2
May 09, 2016
Hi All:
I recently upgraded to Storyline 2 and upon opening my projects in Storyline, I receive a prompt to upgrade or maintain the project in the version originally designed. Initially, I opted to keep the current version. When I return to continue working on the project, I receive the same prompt to upgrade as an option. However, I am not allowed proceed until I accept the upgrade. Now, Storyline 2 has overridden Storyline and all of my Storyline projects are automatically upgraded. The bigger problem is that some of the features I used in the Storyline project are not functioning the same in Storyline 2 (i.e., feedback slides transition, slide advancement, videos not playing, etc.). My question is, "How do I make my project function properly now that Storyline 2 has overridden my previous work?"

Hi Donald,
Are you referring to Storyline 1 and Storyline 2 - or the different latest updates of Storyline 2 such as Update 7 and Update 8? As for going from versions such as 1 to 2 - you'll see all the icon's appear as Storyline 2 and they'll default to opening in the latest versions, but the files won't actually change until you've opened them in Storyline 2 and then you'll have the option to create the back up copy that you'll be able to open in Storyline 1 still - as they are not backwards compatible based on features.
If you've updated to Update 8 of Storyline 2 you won't be able to go back to how it behaved in the previous Update 7, so you may want to view the release notes here of what was fixed.
Hi, Donald -- Thanks for reaching out! May I ask if you can clarify, are you trying to open a project that has already been upgraded and altered in Storyline 2 back in Storyline 1? Please see this info on Articulate Storyline 2 Backward Compatibility.
