SCORM Zip file to CPTX

Hey all, hope everyone is doing well.

 

I'm just wondering if its possible to convert or open a scorm package published as html in captivate for editing. I've lost my cptx file on some of my modules as my laptop died and was not able to do some backup and only got the scorm file, instead of redoing all the work, I was hoping that there's a way now to convert scorm to cptx or with a use of third party software?

 

Thank you so much.

    That you are on a Classic Captivate version was clear from your question since you mentioned cptx as extension which doesn't exist in the new version.

    I am sorry, but the answer is negative. There is a big difference between the HTML output of a project and the raw cptx project. You could recover a limited number of assets from the output folder, but they will all be compressed, not the original raw files. Editing is impossible. If you don't have a lot of interactions you can use Video Demo to do a screen recording of the passive slides and use those as well to recreate the project.
