Question

Indesign "Save" not working / Replaced fonts not saving / History disappears

Hi - Runnning InDD 19.5 on a Mac running Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.

 

3-fold issue:

 

• Using Command-S option not saving files. Only way to save files is to manually use the File menu to "Save As".  This is not the end of the world (NOW that I figured out this was happeneng), but throws off one's workflow in an already well-established, key command-reliant brain. Note: Saving to desktop computer, not Cloud storage.


• Replaced fonts aren't sticking - when reopening files, it asks to replace fonts that were already replaced.

• History pallete - Really grateful this is now an InDD feature, but the data disappears after "Save As" (again, all I can currently DO is manually  "Save As".

Thank you in advance!!!

Thanks - I'm familiar with the Hisroty Palette. The issue is that when I do manage to Save the file, the recorded states completely dissappear.

Please note that I am NOT closing the document an reopening it. It's disappearing only after I'm saving the file.

That's the intended behavior. The problem is, of course, that you can't Save normally — but hopefully it'll be solved soon.

First, try the general troubleshooting steps - will it make a difference?

Resetting oreferenced isn;t working. Acrobat Pro is now also not recognizing the Command-S save key command. 

I checked the key commands set up in InDD, and it appears that the "Save" key command is still Command-S, as it should is by default.

OP here.  Adding the following: Auto-activate Adobe Fonts is turned on; fonts are from Adoby font library.
