Embedded images disappear or get corrupted after reopening the file
This problem has been occurring for a few weeks: when I reopen a file containing embedded images, they disappear, turn white, or turn the original image color.
In 15 years of using ILLUSTRATOR, this has never happened, and it's truly annoying. Some files contain more than 50 images, and if a small one disappears, it's unmanageable.
The strange thing is that it doesn't happen with all files; it's random.
I'm working with Illustrator 30.0, but the same thing happened with 29.8.3.
Looking through various forums, you may already be aware of this problem.
Please fix it, as we pay a very expensive subscription.
I work with:
iMac 27 2020 and iMac 24 M1 2021
MacOS Ventura 13.7.8

It asks for specific steps to perform if this happens — please try to follow the instruction.
Won’t merge this into it, since the last activity there was reasonably long time ago, but would will watch it.Do you embed these images manually, or do you check Include Linked File option when setting options on Save?
Do you save the file locally or via network or in a cloud?
