Hi all,

 

I created a document and shared it with colleagues.

The document was saved in a folder. Unfortunately, the document does not show up when opening this folder.

Searching the file in the documents yields no results.

When accessing the document using the link that was sent to the colleagues, I can open the document.

The menu “File”, “Details” shows the location “shared with”, the “owner” is empty.

I was able to make a colleague owner, then the colleague made me owner again. After re-opening the file, the “owner” is again empty.

 

Any help is welcome

Hi ​@MI-MAB 

Open the document from the link and use File → Move to to confirm its current folder location or move it to the intended folder again. Verify the document sharing settings and confirm whether the correct owner is listed under Share/Collaborators.

Try accessing Lucidchart in an incognito/private browser window or another browser to rule out caching issues. If the document still shows Location: Shared with, has a blank Owner field, and cannot be found through folder navigation or search, it may indicate a document metadata or indexing issue.

Thanks for the reply,

 

I tried the suggestions, no success:

the option “Move To” is greyed out, cannot be selected.

Private browser tab: same issue: blank owner, location still shown as “shared with”.

The thread Unable to move Lucid documents as the owner | Community pretty much describes the issue. However, I was not able to resolve the issue.

 

As a workaround I created a new document, copied the contents of the old document into this document and shred the new document with my colleagues.

 

Thanks for the support.

 

Best regards
