Downloading From Articulate Review back to Storyline 360
Is there any easy way to bring a presentation back from Review to Storyline 360? I've accidentally save over top of my Storyline file with another presentation.
Hello Laura, everyone,
Storyline just received a new update today which includes a new feature called Cloud Backup. This means that from this version onwards, any Storyline course you publish to Review can be backed up to the cloud. Pair this with the just recently released Team Folders feature and now you can easily share Storyline project files with your team. No need to upload to a third party vendor.
This also opens the door to be able to keep keep different versions of your course, and access them from anywhere with your Articulate 360 account.

Hey Mary!
There isn't a way to unpublish a course from Review. You'll need the actual project file itself in order to make any edits to the content.
However, there may still be an older version of your file on your computer in your temp files! Here's how to check:
- Open this folder in Windows Explorer: %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline
- 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 version closest to before you overrode it.
- Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story.
- Double-click the file to open it in Storyline.
Let me know how that goes!
Hi Ali. Just want to say thank you for these instructions. Got a corrupted file issue today on one of the SL360 files I'm working on. I thought I needed to rebuild. Was able to retrieve from tmp! Thanks again :)
Thank you; unfortunately, I had to re-create the project file.
Hey there. I've had the same question because I'm looking for a way to collaborate with a client. It would be great if I could upload the file and use Articulate Review to collect comments. But I also want them to be able to download the project file afterwards.
Another example of collaboration would be if they need support during their own producing process: We thought that they could upload their Storyline File, so that I can download and check it quickly to help them out when their stuck.
Is there a way to do this in SL360?
Hi Jessica,
That isn't yet an option in Articulate 360 - but they could share the Review link with you and include a download link for a .story file that they've shared via Dropbox, Droplr, or similar tools. I also haven't tested attaching a .story file directly into a Review comment attachment - but depending on size of your file, you could give that a try!
Hi Ashley, uploading the file as a Review comment attachment worked fine for me! Thank you
Awesome, glad that helped!
I did the same thing. I saved over it accidentally when I was creating something else. I just need the .zip file for my LMS. There needs to be a way you can download the file from Articulate Review. It's on their server.
Hi Marcia,
We don't have an option to download a published Storyline course from Review, but if you published a new version of it you should be able to see the earlier versions from the top drop-down menu.
We'll keep folks posted if that's a feature which is added, seems like it'd help a few people!
I also made this same mistake. I saved over my Storyline file with something else. I can find the file in Review but no option for me to bring it back to Storyline. I did check to see if I could find any other version of the file but no such luck.
This would be very helpful if this feature was added. Thanks.
Agreed. We just had to recreate several courses due to this and it's rework and a pain to start over again.
Thanks, Amanda. We're keeping an eye on requests for this feature and we'll let you know here if it makes the list.
