    Hi Kati,

    I'm sorry but the project file that you shared can no longer be recovered. However, there may still be a working version of your project in your temp files. Here's how to check:

    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 your project. If you find one, copy it to your desktop. If you find more than one, copy the latest version 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.

    Please follow the tips shared in this article to reduce the chances of encountering file corruption in your other project files.
