Adobe Animate Symbols not saving properly

So, I use Adobe Animate 2023. I don't ever want to use 2024 since that version crashes constantly.
When it comes to symbols, I've come across a weird issue that only seems to happen in larger size files that I have. Sometimes, the file will take a while to save, which I assumed would be typical for the file size. However, randomly at times whenever I make edits within a symbol, save it, close the file, and then reopen it, those edits don't save. And when I say random, I mean it is completely random. Sometimes an added keyframe didn't save properly, sometimes changed objects in the symbol don't save, etc.
Anyone facing any similar issues? I can't post any files due to the type of issue this is.

Hi.

 

If Animate can't handle your FLA properly, I would suggest you to split it up. You'll be able to save quicker, the performance will be better and the chances of corruption will be smaller.

Are you using warped assets within those symbols?

I do layer symbols sometimes, but usually they aren't warped aside from rotation.

that's probably related your file size and computer hardware.
