Lost project
Hi,
I opened up storyline 360 after not using it for a while and the recent area is empty. I went to look for my storyline project and cannot find it on my PC! I can find the output files when I published it but not the actual project to do updates and amendments to. Can anyone advise where this might be hiding or how to find it?
Thank you, from a panicky eLearning author!
You can try to see if the file is in the temp folder:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Articulate\Storyline
If you find it, copy it to your folder and rename the extension to .story.
Good luck!
where is the temporary folder
you can find the storyline temp folder here
%appdata%\Articulate\Storyline

what happens, if you insert
%appdata%\Articulate\Storyline
into the windows 10 explorer adress bar
Hi Celia,
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue and understand how frustrating that can be! Jurgen's suggestion of checking the temp folder is a great start. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
- Open this folder in Windows Explorer: %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline
- Scan the contents of this folder for a file that starts with the name of your project. If you find one, copy it to your desktop. If you find more than one, copy the latest version to your desktop.
- Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story.
- Double-click the file to open it in Storyline.
