This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu.

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The TEXTEXPANDER file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TEXTEXPANDER files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TEXTEXPANDER file. However, remember that not every infected TEXTEXPANDER file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.

This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the TEXTEXPANDER file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TEXTEXPANDER file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
