All in design files damaged

I updated my imac yesterday to Mac OS Ventura. After this, all my indesign files are damaged. I can open them and resave them on another computer, but even the resaved version is coming up as damaged on my computer. I've tried opening it with indesign 3022 and 2023

Any help would be appreciated as this has been months of work lost and I need to get these files working asap. Thank you

Why do you think your INDD files are damaged?

Your screenshot suggests that you have a hardware related problem with MacOS Ventura/GPU.

So I think Peters post shows the right direction.

Because when I try to resave it, the attached screenshot appears.

Does this also happen when you create a new document and try to save this new file?

Are your "damaged" files stored locally or on a network share?

If on a network share then try to copy the files to your Mac and open them locally.

Does the problem persist?

Thank you both for your reply.

The files are on my hard drive. I tried to copy it over to my mac and open it but unfortunately still opening like the original screenshot.

I did open quite an old file from last year and that seems to open fine (also on my hard drive). The main files I'm currently concerned about are about 18 files that I've been working on the last few months that all seem to open like my original screenshot.

Thank you,

Sara
