Here's how to determine which versions of a Review 360 item have project backups and download the source files you need.

Identify Which Versions Include a Project File

When multiple versions of a Review 360 item exist, you can tell which versions include a project backup by clicking the Version drop-down list in the upper left corner of the screen. Versions with project backups display a cloud icon and the date and time of publish, as shown below.

Note for content owners: The restore option makes the version you've selected the current version. It also permanently deletes newer versions, their comments, and their project backups. You can't recover these deleted versions, comments, and project backups, so if you prefer not to permanently delete them, use the hide option instead.

Download a Project File

Here's how to download a source file for a Review 360 item. Click the Version drop-down list at the top of the screen and select the version you want to download. Then, click the ellipsis button (•••) and choose Download project file.

Understand Compatibility

The cloud backup feature is exclusive to Storyline 360 as of October 2023. However, it doesn't affect compatibility. You can open project files backed up to Review 360 in Storyline 3 and earlier versions of Storyline 360.
