Hi again!
 

I'm stumped - I am able to edit every chapter in my book with ease except this one - do files get corrupt? Sorry for the size, I can't even delete pages. Restarted program, computer, etc....Thanks in advance.....

Apart from the missing resources there doesn't seem to be a problem with editing the file. I can remove and add pages, edit the text etc with no problems.

Hmm...I did make a copy on the desktop (as well as all files in the book) to work with locally to test it before I contacted you since that was my original thought too.

I still can't edit that file (I make one change and then the file locks "read only"). I was able to make a copy of that chapter, make the edits, rename it, and now I want to add it back into the book - but now it get's stuck on "updating pages" and I have to force it to quit.

Here's my performance settings too.

Hi, again 👋

 

Well shoot, now all the issues are happening - I copied all the files to my local drive. I made a new book, added chapters from the local folder so it wouldn't be pulling from a non local file (just incase). I was able to make edits in chapters, until I couldn't - same thing - can't select anything. Also strange, opening chapters asks if I want to open recovery file, even if I've saved it. Preflight doesn't load on some files, even when it shows there are clear errors. Stuck on update pages and then I need to force quit.

I'm nervous. I am so close to the end of this project and now I can't get anything to work...yes I have saved everything in 3 different places! Is this a permissions thing? Thanks for any insights...

I tried this too..  open  a new file on Affinity > Document > Add pages from files.. didn't work for me. Also cleared user data. Did I mess myself up by starting this project in OneDrive?
