Question

Unable to use any tools to edit the flyer I created. (Eraser, text, brush, etc.)

All of the tools on the left hand side are greyed out and not able to be used. When you click on any of them and then try to edit the document, a little pencil appears with a strike through circle.

Hello @B29509175jdkc,

 

Thanks for reaching out. As suggested by Monika, the file seems to be linked to your Illustrator document. If it is a vector file (Ai / PDF / SVG etc.), you may edit the original in Illustrator, as suggested by Met1. If it's a raster file (JPEG/PNG etc.), you might get better results when editing it in Photoshop.

 

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

That file is linked in your Illustrator file. SO you cannot access what's inside the file.
