When I try to save my file, I get this message. All text are entered into the TM when I confirm them, with the exception of three segments close to the beginning, which do not contain tags.

I checked all of the tags with the quality check function. They are all there, although Trados itself removes some superfluous ones on its own when I put them back in.

I am afraid to close the file for fear I will lose everything.

I have SDL Trados 2017.

P.S. I also just noticed it does not save texts from a table in the TM.

in my experience, usually nothing. Close Trados, restart it, let your project fill back in from the TM, save. Usually restarting Trados clears the error.

the only time I've received this message *consistently* is that I currently (since my last update I think?) get it if I try and add comments to a project where I've opened multiple documents together. In that case if I remove the comments, the problem disappears.
