How to locate the .story file for sharing

Windows will allow you to look inside a zipped file, and even open one of the files, but if that ifle tries to open another file, that isn't allowed. So you can't open and run those files until they are unzipped.

You will need to upload the zip file to the final destination before it will have a URL. It looks to me that you have published for an LMS, so it will need to be loaded to the LMS, which will unzip it, and then it will have an URL.

On the other hand, if all you want is to share it here, click on Add Attachment, and navigate to the .story file, and attach that.

Hi Gerda,

Thanks for contacting us and sharing what you are working on. 

I can see that Walt has popped in here to assist and I wanted to share our documentation on distributing your published course as well.

Thank you. In the end, I realize that my files are not displaying in my folders as .story files but when I attach the articulate file, it is attached as a .story file. So I didn't even have to first publish it.

That's pretty much it. When you are working on a project, the working file has the .story ending. After it is published, you can't change it, and the file endings are all changed.

I just had an aha! I'm missing the file extensions in my File Explorer. They're not visible by default in Windows 10.  I discovered a way to make them visible again. I'm also now realizing that my subject line on this discussion is not accurate. I thought I needed a url but I just needed to find the file with the .story extension. Should the subject line be changed (in case others have this question and are not misled by my question, which wasn't the right question? :-) 

Thanks. Wasn't aware I could do that but see now that by editing my original post, I had the option to change the subject line as well. Done.

I'm having a similar yet different issue. I have older modules that have been published, but they are not loaded in my saved folder as an articulate storyline story (which are able to be opened and edited). It looks as though it's just saved as a file folder? Can anyone assist me with getting back into this file, as it needs to be edited. 
Also, I always publish my modules. (this was published) It just needs to be modified.

Sorry, but publishing is like baking a cake; you can't go back and change the ingredients. To make changes, you have to have the .story file. :(

They might be saved in some other location than where they were published. Try a search for " .story".
