Back up. Seriously, back up!
Sorry, I mean backup... as in, back up your projects.
During my Articulate Storyline 360 training vILT classes, I stressed the importance of backup projects. While I love Storyline, projects can get corrupt like any other program. You'll breathe a bit easier if you have a recent project backup. The problem with backups is remembering to create them and/or ensuring the backup is on an external or network drive (it does not do you much good if your backup project is on your hard drive and that drive goes bad... say goodbye to your project and your backup).
Articulate Storyline 360 now offers you free cloud project backups.
To begin, Publish the project and select Review 360.
From the bottom of the Publish dialog box, select Upload project file to Review 360.
Click the Publish button to upload a backup copy of the project to the cloud.
Once the project has been published, click the View Project button.
You can download the cloud copy by selecting Current Version > Download Project File.
Looking for training or mentoring? I'm just an email away if you need help using Storyline 360 or Rise support.
Can a published project be converted back into Storyline in the event the project gets deleted from the saved location?

Hi Anne,
Unfortunately, you'll need the .story. Storyline cannot open the output.

Indeed, I just searched for a way to recover a lost project, that I did NOT save using the cloud backup…
Good advice though
