Opening Projects Created in older versions of Storyline
I am having the same issue today - the file I am trying to open was created in March 2025 if that helps. We are needing to do some updates to it for 2026 but I cannot get it open. I tried making a copy and import into a new project but Storyline crashed every time I attempted that. Please advise.
Hi MikkiCastor-26c,
I’m sorry you’re running into this. Not being able to open a Storyline project you need to update can be really stressful, and I appreciate you sharing what you’ve tried so far.
If a Storyline repair does not help, would you be able to share your Storyline file either here in the thread or privately through a support case?
We’ll take a closer look and see what we can do.
Thanks for the reply Eric. Attached is the .story file.
The file appears to be a publish of the course, not the actual .story file. If you copy the file you have and change the extension to .zip and open it you will see what i mean.
