Locked out of editing when in Design Mode

Question

I currently I currently cannot edit in Design mode. The cursor is a circle with a line through it everywhere I tried to get to in the site. It seems like I am in some kind of mode that I need to get out of. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Observations I hope will help:

1. It shows an * at the end of the file name.
2. Even when the cursor looks like I could possibly edit, as soon as I click on anything it changes to the circle with a line through it

and the entire site looks like it is now inaccessible.

3. I can edit in Live mode.

4. Dreamweaver 2018

5. Even when I tried to re-create the page, the same issue occurs. (Same file name)

6. I have other files where I can access Design mode.

Thanks for the help!

A screenshot of your workspace might help us understand more.

Are you working with a template child page by any chance? Template child pages are only editable within certain defined regions. Everything outside those regions are grayed or locked. See example.
