Cannot open this document because the tracked changes it contains cannot be merged automatically.

I get that message while trying to create a project in Studio 2024 with an idml. The InDesign file dosn't have any tracked change. What do I need to do to make it work? Thanks.

Full error message: "Cannot open this document because the tracked changes it contains cannot be merged automatically. Accept or reject all changes in InDesign then open the document again. You have pending changes on the following pages: 10, 11."

    Hello,

    The error message you're receiving indicates that there are tracked changes in your InDesign file that need to be accepted or rejected before you can proceed. Even though you mentioned that your InDesign file doesn't have any tracked changes, the error message suggests otherwise. Here are the steps you can follow to resolve this issue:

    Step 1: Open your InDesign file and go to the pages mentioned in the error message (pages 10 and 11 in your case).

    Step 2: Check for any tracked changes on these pages. If you find any, accept or reject them.

    Step 3: Save the changes and close the InDesign file.

    Step 4: Try to create a project in Trados Studio 2024 again with the updated InDesign file.

    If you still encounter the same error, you might want to consider following the instructions provided in the context. Accept or reject all changes in the IDML source file, replace the source file in Language Cloud, and retry the error task.

    Have you checked all layers and page templates? InDesign can have things well hidden, similar to Framemaker...

    This is not to offend you, but just in case: helpx.adobe.com/.../tracking-reviewing-changes.html
