Not able to save files in InDesign 2019

[paambris]

I can't get the "save as" box to go away.

I am working remote and loggin into the work system,

so when I shut down it's only shutting down VPN.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about your experience. We'll be happy to help. Would you mind sharing more details about your workflow?

You may share a small video of the process so that we can understand it better. Please share version of OS & InDesign as well. Looking forward to your response.

Regards,

Thank you Ashutosh.... I think I may have figured it out.

I would file save as after I updated a page and the program didn't seem to like that.

So I just update everything assuming that it would auto save.

I am using InDesign 2019 in the Creative Cloud for the school I work for, so hopefully everything has saved.

Thank you for your reply,

Pam

Hi paambris,

there is no build in auto-save with InDesign…

You could use a custom start-up script for something like this.

E.g. the saveVersions.jsx script by Martin Fischer

Or one by Gregor Fellenz that Kasyan Servetski translated to English:
