Update: Storyline Error Messages and Crashing Files Not Saving ETC

Having multiple issues with updating a Storyline file. Get "not enough room to save" message and yet I have TONS of room. Try to save file as another name, re-opened, get same message. Have re-booted, shut down, restarted - all my work has gone. This has happened since I updated to your latest version yesterday.

  • Hi, Gillian.

    Are you working from a local hard drive? We don't recommend working with files on a network drive as it can cause erratic behavior. If it's a local drive, but also syncing with a service such as OneDrive or Dropbox, it can cause a similar effect as a network drive. 

    If this is not your scenario, can you share the .story file with our support team through a case?

    If you didn't get a chance to save the project, you might still have a copy of it. You can check if they're available in the TEMP folder. Here are the steps:

    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 the project. If you find one, copy it 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. 

    I hope this helps!
