How to import a SCORM file into Articulate Storyline?
Scorm is the final output. Similar to a print on paper....if you keep the original Word of .doc you can edit it... i seldom see the question can i generate a Word from my print... thats the same thing as creating a .story from scorm.
Always save and keep track of your .story files. Those are your source. If someone leaves a company he is obliged to make sure those sources are available for his successor. If not im quite sure you can take legal action and sue him/her to deliver those sources.
If you switch to another tool... you might run into the issue that you have to remake your courses. The Scorms you can always upload to any other LMS, but changing things in another authoring tool is impossible.
If you want/need a format thats open to edit in most tools, you should go for HTML5, you can edit HTML5 in Notepad and any editor outthere. As is the HTML5 output Storyline creates is not 100% compatible with standard HTML5. A lot is coded in a specific Articulate way and thus hard to decipher. You however can edit in the published HTML.
