Windows - Offline creator tool
Most of the time, trouble with saving projects has to do with the storage on your computer.
1. Please check if you have enough storage space. We recommend at least 2 GB of free storage space.
2. Try saving your product somewhere else by using the "Save as.." option (we recommend trying your desktop or a USB / external disk).
