Question

Why are my AI layers merging after I save?

After years of using Illustrator,  all of a sudden my layers are merging after I save. ( .ai)  When I re open  I lose all of my text editing abilites.  Is there something I'm missing? I can't get a hold of any Adobe Support.

Is this an old file?

How are you saving it?

 

Which version of Illustrator is it?

ai also means artificial intelligence.

 

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
