Recover file?
I was working on a Storyline project and my computer unexpectedly shut down. TOTALLY my fault for not saving my work, but I lost everything. Does anyone know if there's a way or place to look to rec...
Hi Stacy,
Oh no! I am so sorry that happened!
As Randy mentioned, there may still be a working version of your project in your temp files. Here's how to check:
- Open this folder in Windows Explorer: %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline
- Scan the contents of this folder for a file that starts with the name of your project. If you find one, copy it to your desktop. If you find more than one, copy the latest version to your desktop.
- Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story.
- Double-click the file to open it in Storyline.
We also have a great video that demonstrates this process here.
Just ran into this issue today strangely with a course that I had published to Rise 360 but couldn't locate the working file. I thought I was going crazy but I was just able to recover it using this method. You just saved me and my sanity! Thank you Vincent!
