Hey Pankaj!

I'm so sorry about your file. We don't support making edits to the published output, so you would need access to the original .story file to safely edit content. 

If your file was saved to your computer at one point, you may be able to locate a version of it in your temp files by following these directions:

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. 

I hope that's helpful! 

Hi all, because these posts are a little out dated I wanted to chime in to see if anything has changed.

I am new within the Storyline 360 and am learning as I go. I half created a course... or presentation and published it to download it in our LMS to see how it would look in the LMS. Well, now I would actually like to finish the course. When I attempt to import it through storyline as everyone has said it doesn't appear. So I have a zip file and I cant view that either it is just a bunch of randomly named files (not a techy person at all) and I am not sure what to do next. I also tried the opening of the story_html5 in Explorer however it just keeps showing the loading symbol.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Hi Christina,

Happy to help, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! ✨

The source file you used to create your course in Storyline 360 ends with a .story extension, similar to a PowerPoint .ppt file. You can either:

• double-click that file to open Storyline 360, or
• Open Storyline 360 through the desktop tray app, and you should see a Recent section on the left side. Your file should show up, and you can click to access.

The published zip files, on the other hand, are a collection of output files meant to be hosted on the web, or your LMS, for example, and cannot be used in Storyline. Hope this helps, and let us know if you have any other questions!

Hello, 

I have kind of similar problem. I don't have the .story file I mean source file. I edited the content using HTML tools. I wanted to run the file. I uploaded in Scorm cloud and bingo it worked. But when I tried to upload in Workday LMS its saying not a valid scorm file. Can any one help me on this? Why I am facing this issue and when its working fine in scorm cloud and not in workday LMS. Any help is much appreciated.

When you rezipped did you is the Manifest file in the root of the zip file?

Hi Phil, 

Yes I rezipped the manifest file as well.

Hi Phil, 

Yes manifest is the root of the zip. I have added one line of code that is jscript. Apart from that I have not added anything.

Did it work in the LMS before? 

After fixing it is working well in Scorm Cloud perfectly fine. Before fixing it was giving blank screen error. Thats why I had to edit. Now when I try to upload in workday LMS it is saying not a valid scorm file or some times it doesnt even recognize the file.
