Edit or Import from SCORM

.story is the source file of the project made in Articulate Storyline. If you have Articulate Storyline doubleclicking the .story file should open it in Articulate Storyline and you can start editing. Enough tutorials and guides online on this forum to get you started.

Thanks Walt! :) 

I do have the story file. How do I go about editing it? Is it via Storyline APP? I have no idea how I can edit it. 

You really need the .story file to make changes. There is not other effective way to change it. As a matter of good practice, you should always make the .story (and all the originals) part of your deliverables. I would be suspicious of a vendor that won't turn over the originals.

Hello there! :) 

I have received a SCORM File from my Vendor and now I would like to add in some information of the training modules. 

How do I go about doing it? Would anyone be able to guide me? 

Thank you! :) 

Thanks, Joe and Judy. That was my suspicion, but wanted to be sure!

Here's another analogy I've seen: The SCORM package is like a book published from a Word file.

You could mark up the book. But if you want an updated version that's clean, you need to edit the source Word document and then republish it. 

As Joe said, you could mess with the HTML of a Storyline-published SCORM package. But for a clean version that's also editable for future updates, you need the .story file. If you don't have the original .story file, re-create. (You can gather some the assets from the SCORM package.) 

You can certainly edit a SCORM file via html. But that will not be editing the *.story file at all.

Consider the SCORM file as a publication. You can cut, paste, copy, edit to your heart's content. But you cannot change the source of the publication without somehow accessing that source.

Hope this makes sense!

Hi! I just want to verify that it is not possible to edit the SCORM file via html?

Hi Stephen,

Welcome to the E-Learning Heroes community!

Jurgen is correct that you'll need the original .story file to edit the project. It's not possible to edit the published output. I suggest asking the course creator for the original file if you can. We also recommend working on and saving projects to your local hard drive. If you have access to the computer on which the course was created, you can try searching for a backup file there.

Here's how:

1. Open this folder in Windows Explorer: %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline.
2. Scan the contents of this folder for a .story file
3. If you find the file, copy it to your desktop (if you find more than one, copy the latest version).
4. Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story.
5. Double-click the file to open it in Storyline.

I hope this helps! If you need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out here or privately in a support case.
