Hi Anisha,
Welcome to the E-Learning Heroes community!
I'm so sorry to hear that you're unable to locate your file. As Richard suggested, you can try searching for a backup. Here's how:
- Open this folder in Windows Explorer: %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline.
- Scan the contents of this folder for a .story file
- If you find the file, copy it to your desktop (if you find more than one, copy the latest version).
- Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story.
- Double-click the file to open it in Storyline.
I understand how frustrating this can be, especially while working on a deadline. We recommend working on and saving projects to your local hard drive as working on a network drive can cause erratic behavior. You may also want to follow these tips to reduce your risk of losing project files.
