Why does autosave not seem to work??
I'm writing this with a heavy heart, as I just lost a whole day's work. I have a storyline 360 file, saved locally on the C drive, with only two scenes. I had an issue where all the filenames and bu...
Hi Cleona,
I appreciate you reaching out, and I'm sorry you lost so much work! I'm sure it hasn't been easy re-creating your project. To help provide some understanding, the AutoRecovery setting in Storyline is not an auto-save feature. Here are the details:
Storyline will automatically save a copy of your project at the specified interval (after you’ve saved it at least once). The default interval is every 10 minutes, but you can enter any whole number between 1 and 120. If Storyline closes unexpectedly, you’ll be prompted to recover your project the next time you open it.
To shed more light on that last portion, this feature will return you to an earlier version of your course if your Storyline program crashes, but it won't consistently save and have that copy accessible to you if the software freezes or you closed Storyline by accident.

I hope that helps!
