Urgent: Storyline 3 - file suddenly can't be opened any more!?! - please help

May 04, 2022

I have been working on an elarning project with storyline 3 in the recent weeks and months. The last time I opened and worked on this project was this morning. I edited, saved and closed the project, everything was perfectly normal.

A couple of hours later I try to open the project file again, with no success. I keep getting an error message saying something like:

"This project cannot be opened because it contains features that are not available in this version of Storyline, namely:
Improved automatic text field adjustment"

Today I downloaded the newest build of storyline 3, but I have not installed it yet. Older chapters of my elearning project (i.e different storyline files) are opened without any problems.

As I have put a lot of work in this and the project os close to its completion (and its deadline) this is really serious for me.
Any help is very appreciated,
Kind regards,

Frank

Hi, Frank.

We released the fix for this issue on Update 17. Since you're using an earlier version, you'll want to update Storyline 3 to ensure you're using Build 3.17.27621.0.

Please let us know if you have any questions by posting here or by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.

First of all: Thanks for your quick reaction.

I just installed the new version of storyline which I had already downloaded this morning - and the file just opened again - phew!

I didn't think this was the reason as my older storyline files still opened without problems, but anyway - I'm just glad I can get on with my work.
regards,

Frank
