Unable to save a file if I need to make an amendment in Fusion

We have had this issue from time to time but now it is with every file - we create a design, save, convert to drawing and then if it comes back quickly and we make an amendment to the model we cannot save the change as the file location is no longer visible. As a work around we have had to create a new folder to save the model in and then go back in the next day and delete the original folder with the original model (if it is showing up). Has anyone had this issue? Thank you

Normally you only will CREATE a drawing, not convert the model.  Then if you receive revisions, you simply open the model, make corrections and the attached drawing will update.  You can create PDF and DWG (depending on your license) from the Fusion drawing.

Apologies, I may not have explained very well:

- Create a folder and save the model

- Create drawing from model

- Any attempts to amend the model we cannot save as the folder where the model is saved is not available/not visible

- Save again in new folder under model name

- Delete original folder the following day as we now have a second updated version

Take a look at the attached video and see if I am doing something different that makes the process work for me.  Please attach a video of your own to show me what you are seeing if this video does not help.

If you see the attached image, I created the project, saved and then after I had finished the part and tried to save again the box comes up with "OK" greyed out because the folder doesn't exist, you can see at the top that the it has a file name. The project will appear at some point - few hours later or next day - but I have to create another folder so I can save the file again and then I end up having multiple folders with the same name.
