Autosave in Numbers is broken

Hello!

I was working on a Numbers spreadsheet and the I hit +S I got this message:


I created this file, saved it and closed it. When I returned to it, I can no longer save it. I can create a new file, copy everything onto that one, edit and save it. But I can not save changes on files that are not "brand new" (it's like I can only save each file once).


Things I've already tried (from reading other posts):

  1. re-downloaded Numbers
  2. cleared the recent files list
  3. moved the file from iCloud to Desktop and tried saving it there
  4. this

So, I closed Numbers (by clicking the red x) and this popped up:

I hit Save and this happened:

And the I hit duplicate I received the same message I showed at the begging ("document could not be autosaved")


About iMac and Numbers:

My iMac is brand new (I've had it for a week today) and this is the first Numbers file I work on. iMac is on macOS Catalina 10.15.5 and Numbers is 10.0 (up to date I supposed, since I've re-downloaded it from he App Store today).


If anybody can give me a solution that does not imply rebooting my iMac, I would appreciate it so much.

Thank you all for your time and help 🤍

Why don't you want to try restarting your Mac and making sure you are properly signed into iCloud?
