What a complete and utter SNAFU Creative Cloud Express is.  Bug ridden, changing without warning failing to implement suitable links not providing for transitions, no effective T&Cs clarification … I can go on but please sort it out quickly so that work on a Spark project can resume.

Hi effeegee,

Sorry about your first experience with Creative Cloud Express.  I've passed along your feedback to the various teams. 

In the meantime can you try clearing your cache? 

Hope that helps but if not let me know and we can continue to troubleshoot.

I have this exact issue. My project is a grad school assignment that is due this week, so that's fun. I'm glad it's not just me?

[Kevin-Monahan]

Hi CourtK,

Sorry about that. Have you attempted the troubleshooting steps of clearing your browser cache and logging in to a new "Icognito" (Chrome), "Private" (Safari) browser window (or similar)? Please let us know. We hope we can assist you in getting back on track.

Thanks,
Kevin

[Chris22244353ptiy]

Anyone try clearing cache, does this work for this error message?

[effeegee · Accepted solution]

Hello, incognito gave me access to edit again but Chrome (browser?) required cleared cache to edit.   

[Kevin-Monahan]

Thanks for letting us know efffeegee. I hope all is going well now.

Thanks,

Kevin

[_Lydia_]

I did that and it did not work.

[Kevin-Monahan]

Checking in back in with you _Lydia. Is everything OK now, or are you still facing these issues? I hope not, but please let us know.

Thanks,
Kevin

[Kevin-Monahan]

Still facing issues, Chris? Tell us more, if so. We are here to help.

Thanks,
Kevin

[CourtK]

Yes, and this worked for me. Thank you.

[Kevin-Monahan]

Very cool! Thanks for letting us know, CourtK. You're a real gent.

Regards,
Kevin

It still doesn't work -- going on several days, now!

It worked on December 22 on my Win 7 / Firefox PC and network. It has not worked since.

We have tried running the Mobile app on my network and that works fine.

But, I don’t do this kind of work on a tablet / phone. I do my work on a PC.

Here’s what we know:

1. The PC version still does not open a project in Win 7 running Firefox.
2. The PC version still does not open a project in Win 10 running Chrome.
3. The PC version still does not open a project after logging into Mobile, syncing, logging out, clearing cache / cookies on PC
4. The PC version still does not open a project in Incognito in Windows 10 mode
5. The PC version still does not open a project in Private Window in Windows 7
6. The PC version still does not open a NEW project created yesterday

So, let’s see if there’s something you can do on your end to fix the problem. It appears that the migration from Spark to ACE was not successful and/or my files are corrupted.

[Kevin-Monahan]

SJ,

As we understand it, your issue is resolved. In another thread, you said you had trouble migrating your corporate account which tripped up your Spark log in, but you were able to fix it. Glad about that.

Regards,
Kevin

[Southside Jukes]

Nope! If it's a migration problem, my account is stil in limbo...

[Kevin-Monahan]

I apologize for that @Southside Jukes - I thought your case was sorted.

Are you in contact with our chat and call Help representatives? Have they promised a call back? If not, shoot me a private message and I will do my best to get your case resolved. OK? 

Kind Regards,
Kevin

I also have this issue. I've duplicated the project. I've cleared my cache and browsing history. I've downloaded a new browser and still the same error message. I am unable to open my Project.

"Message: Error opening document version 27000;Errors: TheoDocument.children does not match schema rule: Vali..."

I started using Adobe Spark...now Express mainly for social media posts or quick posters/accessiblity from my phone. Some great features, simple and comprehesive layout program. I've been using Adobe Creative Suite for 16-ish years. My preference is InDesign typically... I do love a lot of the features on Express like photos and design assets are very handy -- why aren't they available through InDesign?? At the same time it is very buggy. Slow at times, stalls, reloads... then THIS. I'm in the middle of billing a client and making one last change to a file and now I can't open it. Several hours of my time wasted... a poster that now needs to be remade...  perhaps I can quickly edit the PDF but that's pretty unprofessional in my opinion. Gone are the days of just paying for a program and using it. Now are the times where things are automatically updated and imposed on the consumer... needing to relearn things against our will and buggy bug bugs.

hey, i'm facing the same issue on my mac.

 please tell what can i do to resolve the problem

[fatir304216512at8]

@Kevin-Monahansir please if you can help me solve this issue as i really need to get going with my project.

[Kevin-Monahan]

Hi @fatir304216512at8,

I can look into this when I get back into the office tomorrow. I will probably ask for my colleagues assistance since I no longer work on support for this application. I will try and connect you with him, who has expertise on these issues.

I appreciate your patience. Sorry for the frustration.

Thanks,
Kevin

[fatir304216512at8]

Thanks a lot 

waiting for the response from your side
