Document Troubleshooting

Start with the checks below before uploading another copy or creating another version.

Symptom Check and next action Confirm recovery
Folder is missing Confirm the current domain and ask an administrator to review folder access and navigation features. Reopen navigation and find the folder.
Folder opens but document is missing Check the title and destination folder. Ask the owner whether the version was published and whether its document ACL allows you to read it. Open the document from the folder.
Add Document, Save, or New Version is unavailable Ask for a check of the document-writing feature and applicable permissions. New Version is available on published documents. Reopen the published document and check the command.
Delete is visible but access is denied Delete requires its own document permission in addition to the screen's editing controls. Ask the administrator to review effective access. Repeat only after the permission review, if deletion is still intended.
Save reports a duplicate version number Another version may already use that number. Reopen the latest version and review History before choosing a new number. Save once and verify the version in History.
Preview or online editing fails Check which attached file is selected. If download works, report the format and failing action to the administrator so preview/editor services can be checked. Open the same file using the previously failing action.
Newly saved document is absent from search Try its folder first. Indexing runs in the background; if the document remains absent, report its title and version to the administrator. Find it in search with the intended reader account.
An older version appears after deletion Deleting one version leaves other versions intact. Review History before changing another version. Confirm which published version the folder now shows.

If a file cannot be downloaded either, report the document, version, file name, time, and error message. Avoid sending confidential document content merely to describe the issue.
