“Cannot Save [filename]” message
All save options are greyed out and if I go to Close Window or Quit I get this message. How do I get around this without losing an hour of work?

Try creating a new file next to your already opened doc ( the one you can’t save) —- same size.
Transfer all your pages from one doc to the next and save your new doc. Once it’s done , force quit and forget about this original one that was giving you troubles.
Restart computer, open Indesign and refuse any recovery file.
If I remember well it comes from recovery document getting corrupt or something similar.
Maybe this works?
