Error Message ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?
I am experiencing the same issue.
I have imported the file into a new project, but it still won't preview. It does save however.
Here is my error message:

Hello JacquesStorm-96
I'm glad you're able to save your file, but let's take a closer look at your setup!
- Are you currently working and saving your project locally?
- Is this happening with any other projects you're working on or just this one?
- You mentioned this is happening in Preview. What publishing options have you tried?
We'd be happy to take a closer look at your project file to see if we get the same error message on our end. Feel free to share your .story file in this thread or privately in a support case. We'll be sure to delete the file after testing!
