Hi Evan,
I'm sorry you are getting this error! Corrupted files are such a pain! There are a few things that can cause this error. Here are the things you want to check.
- Make sure you are working from your local drive (C: Drive). Working from a network drive or USB drive can cause file corruption. Here's an article about creating, editing, and publishing courses on your local hard drive
- Don't use special characters or symbols in your file names.
- Make sure the directory path to your project file is less than 260 characters.
Can you open the file at all? If you can, try to import your existing project into a new project within Storyline, to resolve any corruption issues.
Thanks for reaching out and I hope this helps!
