Dear All,

And I just can not recover the files. Also, i've put linked image on one page and indesign do not preview that image although link is right (when i click to links, there is right link in right folder, just without preview in indesign). Please tell me how to recover file asap. Thank you.

In InDesign 2021, try this:

File > Save As to make a second copy of the file with a different name.

Leave your file open, in case this doesnt work.

File > Open the 2nd file. If it has damage or corruption, InDesign will try to repair it. After some seconds, it will open.

With this new file that is auto-repaired, inspect to see if it is working correctly.

If not, you still have your previous file open and can try something else.
