Convert Storyline 360 to 3 to 2?

 

I had this same issue (autofit feature being applied in 360, rendering my file Storyline 3-incompatible) and was helped by Darwin at Articulate. He provided some instructions and a walkthrough video. This worked for me. Thought I would post here in case anyone else is experiencing this and needs help:

 

Here are the steps in the workaround:

 

1. Create a copy of the .story file.

2. Rename the duplicate file to .zip.

3. Extract the file to a folder.

4. In that folder, click docProps and then open featureManifest.xml in a text editor, such as Notepad++.

5. Remove the following line below:

 

<TextScrolling3 description-2052="?????????" description-1033="Text Autofit Improvements" description-1036="Améliorations de l'ajustement automatique du texte" description-1031="Verbesserte automatische Textfeldanpassung" description-10="Mejoras de ajuste automático de texto" />

 

6. Once you save your changes, select all the contents in the folder and extract them to a new compressed (zipped) folder.

7. Rename the new zip file to .story and open it in an earlier version of Storyline 360

Here’s a video demonstration for reference:
