If you’ve ever worked on a large Storyline 360 project, then you understand the amount of effort and development time that go into building a course that looks and works just the way you want...

A great overview for saving our bacon! Thanks, Nicole!
One idea that I found to be helpful is to add the date after the file name.
That way all the backup copies will automatically group together alphabetically.
I also format the date the same every time mm-dd-yy so they stay in the right order.
If I have done lots of work and have two backup copies I add a letter to give them unique names.

Another tip for large projects:
Set up a main file: concreteRepairMain.story
As you near the end of a large project the main file could take several minutes to save. I real buzz kill as the deadlines loom.
To solve this problem build your project by building separate sections:
01repairs.story.
02scope.story
03testingPhase.story
As each section is finished (and approved), use the File/Import feature to bring those slides into the main .story file.
I also use Nicole's backup suggestions for each of these smaller sections.
Just remember that once you have imported a small section into the main story file to make you corrections and changes in the main file. Otherwise, you'll have to make edits in both the main and the smaller section files.
