Where are my storyline files?

Hi Lerissa

best practice is to be working on the source Storyline file from your local drive and not a network drive.

Are you working from your local drive when you open the files in SL? If so, then the files should be somewhere on there unless deleted.  

Try doing a search using the *.story file extension to see if they appear.

Hi Wendy –

I have always worked on the project on my local drive and have stored the source files there.

I have done a search on .story in the temp folder and in the My Articulate Projects folder – both on the local drive. Nothing. Just the output files.

I will search the rest of the drive as well.

Hello again –

Why would the .story files disappear from my Recent list? Files from months ago are there … but nothing from a week ago.

Hi Lerissa

I think there is only a limited number of files in the list - so as you open more and more the older ones would be removed to make way for the latest...

Hi Wendy - Yes. That is what I would expect. Old files leave the Recent list because ... well, because they are no longer recent.

But that is not what happened.

The old files - from projects I worked on last December - are displayed in my Recent list.

The NEW files - from the project I completed LAST WEEK - are gone.

I've done a "hand search," folder by folder, through most of the folders on my C drive. Nothing. It's as if this project never existed. I have found pieces and parts of my old, six-months-ago projects all over the place. But last week's work - nothing.

I'm really sick about this ...

Hi Lerissa

I'm not sure what else to suggest.  I wonder if Articulate support can offer any assistance.  So sorry this has happened to you...I lost a file once and ever since I have backups on an external drive and dropbox.
