    Hi Laurie,

    Yikes!  Getting error messages is definitely not expected when trying to save your Storyline project! I’m happy to get this sorted out with you! Would it be possible to give more details about your experience so I can understand what you are going through a little better? Some questions that come to mind are:

    1. What are you looking to do with your text-to-speech audio?
    2. What variable triggers are you using?

    Thanks for reaching out and I look forward to your response!

      Thank you for reaching back out.

      I was trying to use a variable to play audio on a slide. It is repeated
      audio on multiple slides, so I only wanted it to play once. Steps I took
      that resulted in the error:
      1) I set up a true-false variable.
      2) The trigger was to play audio when the timeline starts on the slide if
      the variable was false.
      3) A second trigger was to adjust the variable to true when the audio
      completes.

      When I deleted the triggers, it saved fine.
      Next:
      I added the triggers back in but changed the second trigger to adjust the
      variable to true when the timeline starts on the slide.

      That adjustment seemed to work fine.
