Hello @Valeriaveced,

I am sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind sharing some more details, like the exact version of the OS/Illustrator, a public link to a sample file after uploading it to Dropbox/Google Drive/etc., and a screen recording of your workflow and the problem (https://adobe.ly/3ZewMCP), so we can investigate this further?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

Do you save to your local disk? If not, try that first.

Also: turn off "Save in background" in the Illustrator preferences.
