How to open .story examples?
I am reading these discussions to learn how to get started in Storyline but am never able to open any examples in the format .story. All I get are dozens of pages of random symbols such as these:

you need to download the 30-day trial of articulate storyline, or purchase the software in order to open the files
You can download Storyline here to access the trial.
Sorry, forgot to mention I've already downloaded, and paid for, Storyline. I've tried many of the functions, made some slides, tried redesigning the feedback slides, fiddled around with triggers, layers and states, watched about 30 videos on Youtube, etc. Still can't open the .story files on the Articulate site.
Hi Joseph
some systems download the .story file as a zipped package. If you extract the file you should see the .story file. Right click the .story file and open with Articulate Storyline
Please double click on the attached story, and describe to us exactly what you do and what happens.
Hi Joseph,
I'm still able to access older .story files from our sites, and I've attached the .story file from that thread here again. As Wendy mentioned you'll want to download the file and then you can look at changing it to a .story file to ensure it'll open correctly.
pls help
Hi Ashiq
do you need help downloading a .story file or opening a .story file? Which browser are you using to download? Which version of SL do you have?
Hi There
I want to open .mbz files, which are courses created in moodle. Has anyone succeeded in opening them using Storyline?
You cannot open or import this filetype into Storyline.
Hi. I am trying to open a .story file from the community. How do I get Articulate 360 to open the file?
Hello Josh,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing what you are working on.
I'm curious if you've installed Storyline 360, part of your Articulate 360 subscription. This is the software needed to use a .story file you've downloaded.
You have a few options to open the file once it's downloaded:
- Open with from your file explorer:
- Open from within Storyline 360:
- Open when another project is open:
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
- Open with from your file explorer:
Thank you. I just tried this and the issue was installing the correct software.
