Unable to save storyline file: Error reads - " The project file could not be saved. Cannot access a closed stream"

Pretty much what the title says. I tried importing the project but this project is not saved anywhere yet, so importing did not work as it is requesting access to the saved file. 

  • Hi Maddy!

    Sorry to hear you're having trouble saving your .story file!

    The error message 'cannot access a closed stream' may indicate some form of file corruption. If you've confirmed that you are working locally, can you try doing a 'Save As' of the file and then save a new version of your project to either 'My Documents' or your 'Desktop'?

    If you're still having issues after those steps, please connect with our team through a support case. They'd be happy to continue troubleshooting with you!

    I just submitted a case number on this as well. I'm getting this same error, plus one about running out of system memory (which I know I have plenty). But basically my project will fail to save constantly. I've turned autosave on to every 1 minute and that's not even working correctly. This issue has grinded me to a halt on a project I'm working on and it's quite frustrating.
