Good morning Cheryl.

What you are showing is the properties of the .story file. What you want to do is right click the story.html file, select Open with and choose Notepad. This will allow you to see the HTML code which includes the information regarding version:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<!-- Created using Storyline 360 - http://www.articulate.com -->
<!-- version: 3.58.26627.0 -->

In regard to recreating the content, there is no way to take the published output and convert it back into a .story master file.   If you can open and view the course, you could recreate it (from scratch) in Storyline.  You could also recover some of the assets used in the course from the story_content folder as a last resort (e.g., videos used, photos used, audio, etc).

Does that make sense?

Depending upon where the .story file is, you might be able to restore the computer, look at backups to find it, search the computer in question (*.story) for the files, check in the computer's %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline folder, etc. I'm assuming it was not created by an outside employee and if it was, you already reached out to them.

If you do find the master file in your %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline folder, it will have a .tmp extension. Try renaming it to the  .story extension and reopen in Storyline.
