Hello @kayannet,

From the message, it seems the slp file might be open in multiple places - causing a lock on the file. Do you have the file open in multiple places? Is this a remote file that multiple people can access at the same time - and if so is it possible someone else is accessing the file as you are trying to save it? Those are some plausible reason I could see for the error.

Side note: (On mac 13.5) I tested opening the same slp file twice, making changes, and saving without running into error. I still need to test if this simple case recreates the above on Windows.

Are you able to Save As to a new filename?

Thanks,
Liezl
