Help! Is there a way to restore a storyline file for editing from Review?

I had an unfortunate issue today where my storyline scene was deleted, and the file was saved without me actually saving (guessing autosave). I can't recover any previous versions, according to my IT department. Is there any way to get a storyline file from Review and be able to put it back in the storyline in any capacity? 

  • You can get a Storyline file from Review if you indicated that the file should be backed up when you published it to Review.

    If you didn't check the "Upload project file to Review 360" box when you published to Review, then the file associated with that version isn't available for download.

  • Hi CACI Talent Development!

    Glad to see Judy has been helping you!

    I noticed that you've also opened a support case and connected with my teammate, Lianne. I see that you confirmed cloud backup was not enabled when publishing your file to Review 360. However, you may be able to check if there's still a previous version of your project in your temp files. Here's how:

    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.

    Please let me know if you have any more questions!
