Corrupt Storyline File
Hi Ariel,
Sorry to hear about your project file.
Since you were working on your project file when the crash occurred, I'd recommend double checking the temp folder just in case the temp file may have been in a different location. Here's our procedure for recovering files in the temp folder:
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.
If your temp folder is empty, we'll be glad take a look at your corrupted project file to see if it can be recovered, although I want to set the expectation that recovering content from a corrupted file is very challenging. Would you be willing to upload a copy of it here or in private by opening a support case so we can take a look?
