No idea what's going on. I came back to my computer after a few hours. I switched to Pixelmator Pro. The file I was working on was open. I tried to make a change and got a dialog that said I didn't have permission. The file is also locked.

The file is stored in a folder in Documents. The file has everybody set to read/write. Is this a frequent problem?

Thanks for any guidance.
