Error when re-linking files within Adobe InDesign Document

Question

Hello Adobe Community!

I'm coming here in hopes that someone can help me figure out why I cannot re-link the missing files in my InDesign document. I have nexver experienced this before and I am at a loss for what to do.

So far, I have tried creating a copy of the document and re-linking the files there, but the problem still persists when I save, close, and re-open the document. I have updated my computer (MAC OS Ventura), I have made sure I am using the most updated version of InDesign (v19.2) & the issue is still occuring!!

When I go to re-link the file I get the following pop-up error message "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application".

I have not moved any files since creating this document, so that would not be the case. All of my files are organized and saved on myiCloud. What am I doing wrong here? What am I missing? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

It seems as though my files were off-loaded from my computer which was causing this issue. I store all of my files via icloud - and that has never happened before so I'm really not sure what exactly caused my files to off-load, but I was able to restore everything which allowed me to re-link all files within my InDesign document!

@hannahkes Sorry for the trouble. Some users have reported a similar issue in the past on this community thread and they have shared the possible workaround for such a scenario. Please try the same and share the outcome.
