Auto recovery of Storyline file

Lost 90 minutes of work when Storyline crashed. I read there is auto-recovery option. How do I access it?

    I know there's a tool and not sure which one someone was using. In the meantime, I found this old post from Randy and others to try.:

    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. If you find more than one, copy the latest version to your desktop.
    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.

    We also have a great video that demonstrates this process here
