SharePoint Online File Editor Won't Save Changes

It appears the text editor for editing files in SharePoint Online broke overnight. I can no longer save any changes made to the files.  I can edit the file, but clicking the Save link does nothing. I've tested this on 3 tenants on 2 different browsers and had confirmation from someone else that it's broken for them as well.

      rfletcherThere's a chance that Nobody at MS knows this is happening. Has anyone submitted a Service Request about it? Perhaps all of us should do so...

        we are working on fixing this behavior and it should be good very soon. I will circle back once its done.

  • I'm also having issues again. The save button is missing on the text editor in some tenants, but not all.

      The error in the browser console is:

      Failed to construct 'Worker': Script at 'https://spoprod-a.akamaihd.net/files/odsp-next-prod_2019-09-06-sts_20190917.001/monaco-editor/vs/base/worker/workerMain.js#css' cannot be accessed from origin 'https://[mytenant].sharepoint.com'.

      Something wrong with the CDN, perhaps?

    Did this situation ever resolve for you because the same thing happened to me today while I was working in SharePoint Online. It worked 1 minute and it was gone the next right in the middle of the day.

      intersign  I'm having this same issue -- I can "open" a text file in the online text editor, it starts in a new browser tab, but the ribbon has NO commands present to save my changes.

        A fix is being deployed and should be fixed in the very near future
  • Thanks for reporting, Mark Rackley. We've confirmed repro (seems to be an issue w/ text editor control only in SharePoint; works fine in ODB). The engineering team is investigating and will get a fix out as soon as possible.

      Hi, 

      The same issue has been repeated today. I can't see the Ribbon items(Save,share,download etc..) for SharePoint Online Text editors.

        Issue is back again, but slightly different now in that the buttons don't even show up:

      Hello!

       

      I was wondering if there is anywhere I can follow to discover when this will be fixed so I can update my team.

       

      Thank you!

    Same for me today. In fact, none of the items on that ribbon function (Share, download, etc). What's up!

      Same here :(

       

      This is by far one of the coolest new features; too bad to see it broken...
