Accidentally deleted Storyline 360 File

Hi,

I hope you're doing well. I accidentally deleted a storyline 360 file and it no longer shows up in recent projects in Storyline. 

That said, I created a review 360 link and the course still shows up there. Is there a way to download the file from review 360 so that I can re-upload it to Storyline? Or another way I can access that content?

Thanks for your help!

    Oh no, Jeremy, I'm so sorry this happened to you!

    There isn't a way to get the .story file from published output at this time, but let's see if we can find the needed version in your temp folder. Here's how to check:

    1) Open this folder in Windows Explorer: %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline 

    2) Scan the contents of this folder for a file that starts with the name of your project. If you find one, copy it to your desktop. Copy the latest version to your desktop if you find more than one. 

    3) Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story

    4) Double-click the file to open it in Storyline. 

    Also, you can check the Recycle Bin to see if it's still in there so you can restore it:

    P.S. welcome to the community, and please let me know if this helps!

  • Becca, you literally just saved me days of work! This was a life saver. 

    Thanks!
