Hello Franklin, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
Do you know where you saved the .story project file you were working on? You should be able to navigate directly to it when opening a file.
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.
Please be sure that you're working on your local drive with your software, files, and assets to prevent any saving issues in the future.
I have tried this - unfortunately I'm still unable to locate the file. I worked on it over a number of days so expected to find a temporary backup somewhere but to no avail. I have installed a new version of Storyline - could this have wiped the file somehow?
