Recovering Storyline

Hello, 

I had started a storyline and not yet saved it but then the app crashed, and I lost the entire thing. Is there a recovery option for unsaved storylines?

  • Hello Kearston!

    I'm sorry to hear this! You should be able to find a backup in your temp folder. Here's how to see if the course is in your 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 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.
