How do I open in Storyline from a Zip file?
I worked on a project, zipped it, made a SCORM and then sent it off to the customer. Someone else, on their side, made edits. So now they have sent me a zip file and I can't figure out how to get it back into Articulate. I just have a bunch of files. Please help!

Hello everyone,
So, I have a similar problem. I new to a team where the last person had backed up a .ZIP folder from the Storyline project in SharePoint.Here are a couple of steps I already tried that are suggested on this thread:
- I downloaded the .zip and there ISN'T a .STORY file inside the zipped folders.
- I changed the extension from .ZIP to .STORY and Storyline could not open the file.
So, since I don't have access to the original files, other than the one saved in the cloud, is there anything else I could try?
Thank you.Brownies to the last person. Without the .story file, your only viable option is to recreate it, although if it has media (graphics, sound, video) in it, you can recover those.
>backed up a .ZIP folder from the Storyline project
this is probably the scorm package, the unpacked zip looks like this
if yes, then it looks bad - no .story file can be reconstructed from it
Thank you for the prompt responses @Walt and @Jürgen.
Yes, Jürgen, it looks exactly like this. Thank you for sending the visual and for the further explanation.
I have the same problem. I was able to see my course by opening the story.html file that is inside the zip file that was made from Storyline. I can view my course on Chrome, but since I'm going to redo this course, this is good enough for me at this point.
