Accidentally deleted a course from the system
How do I get the course back. I wanted to delete a different course which was not acting properly and I accidentally deleted the wrong course. Please help me! How do I get the course back at this point.

Hi Kathleen, It's gone. Do you back up the data on your computer? If you do you may be able to recover the file.

may just be in the recycle bin

Hey Phil, I don't think it is. I tried using this delete option on one of my old files to see if it went to the trash and no such luck.

Oh, that is a nice idea, permanently deleted

Hi:
No I did not put this on a Flash drive as back up. It does not show up in a recycle bin....and yes it was permanantly deleted.

Sorry to here that Kathleen. I feel your pain. I had that happen to me once many years ago and since then have made sure to back up my work.
I didn't even know that delete featue was part of Storyline. I don't like that it removes the deleted course completely - why would they do that?

Thanks for your kind words Nancy! I have already started it over. I am thankful I had the script written in a Word doc, so at least I have that to develop off of.

This isn't helpful for what you've lost, but one of the things I recommend to folks is using some type of synchronized backup. If you can do it, a Dropbox or Sugarsync account will really save your britches
I work directly from a Dropbox account and I've reverted files on several occasions. It's a huge lifesaver for those oops moments. "Doh" is the sound of enlightenment:P

Hi everybody, I see this is an old thread but exactly what happened to me right now... is there still no possibility to recover accidentally deleted files? :'-(
