Since the Illustrator update 6 days ago, I am unable to save ai files. I get a message box:
Illustrator tried, but could not save the file "File Name". Click "Learn More" to try alternate options for saving your file.
Once I click on Learn More I am taken to: https://helpx.adobe.com/au/illustrator/kb/troubleshoot-file-save-issues.html
I've restarted my computer, which has helped with previous issues however, it has not helped. I can save files to pdf format & export to jpg. Using Mac OS Monterey 12.3.
Any help is appreciated!

Hi @michelleb1674,
We are sorry for the trouble. This issue has been fixed in the latest Illustrator update, v26.2.1, released yesterday. I would request you to turn on the "Save in background" setting after updating Illustrator and let us know how it goes.
Regards,
