Keynote "The document could not be autosaved."

Mojave 10.14.6


I have a large keynote file. All of a sudden it is giving me an error that says.



I cannot duplicate the document.


I tried creating a new document and pasting the contents into that. I got the same error with the new file.


When I quit, I am forced to "Discard" all changes.


I have tried duplicating the file in the Finder as well.


I Tried some other tips like:

File>Recent>Clear Menu


I changed the File permissions for ALL to "Read & Edit"


No luck.


This is a big presentation and I need to move forward with it.


Please help!!

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.11
