squinx Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 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..... TEST-chapter4.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 The file opens correct but with missing linked resources which seem to be located in onedrive. Try to use only locally stored files and try to avoid cloud services as these can mess up files altogether and even corrupt files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEC Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 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.

squinx Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squinx Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 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...

squinx Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
