Can't edit saved file
Hello, I am student in middle school working on project. Week ago I made dolphin in Inkscape and saved it as 'svg' today I opened it and I can't edit. Help.
Re: Can't edit saved file
A very warm welcome kiddo! 
When you say you can't edit it, do you mean it won't open at all in Inkscape, or it does open but you can't do anything to the objects inside? Maybe the layer is locked? This would make all objects like background, you wouldn't be able to select them, you can just view them.
Does it happen with other files as well? With new documents?
If it's not a secret share the file here and we can help further.
