pioneer Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Help please. the flier I have been working on has somehow become an embedded file and I have lost the ability to save it or edit any of the layers. I must of pressed on something for this to have happened. I still have the file open but would like to be able to save it before having to start all over again Quote AMD Ryzen 7 5800 X.

carl123 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 What does the Layers panel show - screenshot?

pioneer Posted May 30, 2023 Author Share Posted May 30, 2023 There is nothing locked, just noticed that layer 4, 5 and 6 do not seem to have anything in and I cannot select any layer for editing.

carl123 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 OK, if it says Embedded in the document tab you clicked on an embedded document in the main document You cannot save these embedded documents but the main document will be updated when you close that document First switch on File > Save History with Document in both the Embedded document and the main document (as a precaution) Next, I would close the embedded document and see what happens in the main document But you may want to wait a while to see if anyone else has any ideas PS A full size screenshot of the application may help see what document/tabs are open and anything else that may be applicable Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Pšenda Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 (edited) Select all layers in Layers panel, Copy, and New from Clipboard? Or New document, and successive copying of individual layers/groups?
