Extracting the Articulate Storyline file from a Zip file (storyline output)
Hi, does anyone know how to (if possible) extract the Articulate Storyline file from a zip folder? I cannot find my original Articulate file, and wanted to know if I could get this from the zip file...
Hi Angela,
Yes, only the published output is saved in the My Articulate Projects folder. The .story file is not saved automatically as a part of publishing or within Storyline's general behavior.
However, there may still be a working version of your project in your temp files. Here's how to check:
1) Open this folder in Windows Explorer:
%appdata%\Articulate\Storyline
2) 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 latest version to your desktop.
3) Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story.
4) Double-click the file to open it in Storyline.
Is there a reason why a file wouldn't be in the temp folder? I know it is probably time dependent, but a file I am looking for is not there (last updated in July) while another file is there (updated early 2017).
