Can't find .story files after computer crash

Hi, Jill - Thanks so much for your question and I'm really sorry to hear of your troubles! There is a chance you could be dealing with corruption, however, there may still be a working version of your projects in your temp files. 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. 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.
