Hey nilesh1231, welcome too our Community! 

 

I'd need some additional info, such as the platform you're using when trying to edit the file.

 

Do you use our website, mobile app or desktop? Also, what file type do you try to edit? 

 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

      Hi nilesh1231, I see, interesting! 

       

      Is this the first time you're editing this file? If you have a screenshot of the error message you get on your end, feel free to share it with us, in order to have a clear visual too.
