How to edit course from a Storyline Output File

A colleauge has shared her output files with me while she is on leave. I am looking for guidance on how to import these back into story line in order to make changes to the course.

Hi Christina,

I appreciate you sharing what you would like to accomplish.

Unfortunately, you will need the .story project files to edit the course in Storyline. Hopefully, your colleague will be back and share those files with you soon.

Is this true even if you have to edit one word of text in a storyline output file? Is there no way to find the text embedded in one of the files?

    Hello Laura,

    Good question; I'm happy to help with some insight! Yes, you are correct; even if you just need to edit one word of text in your project, you need to do it in the source Storyline file. The published LMS or Web output cannot be edited or reverse-engineered. 

    But here's some great news for Review 360! When you publish a Storyline 360 project to Review 360, you can include the source file so it's downloadable from Review 360. Here's how:

    So, if the project is published in Review 360 and you have the link for it, you can download the source file from Review if you need to make edits to the original project.

    If you require any further information, please let me know!
