Possible solution to error: "The project file could not be saved. Cannot access a disposed object. Object name: 'StoryPackage'"

Hi Ray!

Phew, I'm glad you found the fix!

I've only seen this error message occur when files aren't being saved locally. You did exactly what we would've recommended! 

From here, I would double-check to make sure all files are being saved locally.

Had the same issue. So relieved to find this solution! It worked well. I was able to grab all of the scenes (click the first scene -- then shift+click on the last scene to grab all of them.) Make sure to verify the slide size before copying.

Thank you so glad to find at least a way to save my project. 

Thanks! This was useful.

My file closed on me so I could not do this.  I was saving a local file to the shared drive we have with work as a backup if something happened to my laptop,  It has been corrupt since then and I can't even open the copy on the local drive now.  I don't understand why this can happen.  Working 100% local is not safe either if something happens to the computer or you need to share with coworkers.  At least on the shared drive I could find a previous version from two days ago (MANY hours of lost work still). That would not be an option if I had it on my local computer only (going back to a previous version).  

Hi, Christine. 

If this happens again, I wanted to share another suggestion: you can try to find a previous version in the Temp folder.

1. Open this folder in Windows Explorer: %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline 
2. Scan the contents of this folder for a file that starts with the name of the project. If you find one, copy it to your desktop. 
3. Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story. 
4. Double-click the file to open it in Storyline. 

I hope this helps!
