InDesign crashed and now I "do not have permission"

If the file crashed the most likely problem is that the lock file was not deleted.

Close InDesign if it's open.

Open the folder where the file is located in File Explorer and make sure you have file extensions showing, then delete any .idlk files. You could also do a general file search for *.idlk with InDesign closed and delete any found. There should not be any lock files unless a file is open (which might be the case if you work with a team).

This appears, from the second screen capture, to also be related to remote storage of some sort and a possibly interrupted synch operation.

Hi @Bethany27740932s3q4 ,

Sorry to hear about the trouble. I found a similar discussion on the community, which you can refer to here. Let us know if this helps or if you need any further assistance.

Thanks

I see others have had a similar problem and people have suggested to rename the file. I tried this but couldn't rename. Please see attached window that popped up when I tried to rename.
