What is XBLR file?
The file with the extension XBLR is the Developer Files file type. In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. Output Raw XBRL appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.

How to open XBLR file?
An often recurring problem with Output Raw XBRL is that XBLR is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that XBLR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XBLR file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Sublime Text
In this case, you should first verify that the Sublime Text application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Sublime Text in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XBLR with Sublime Text. Below is a list of programs that support the file XBLR.
Programs to open XBLR file
Remember to download programs supporting XBLR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with XBLR files
If, despite the installed application, the XBLR file does not start in the Sublime Text application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XBLR file with the Sublime Text program.
Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Sublime Text program with the Output Raw XBRL file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Sublime HQ Pty Ltd page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XBLR file
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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XBLR file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XBLR file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected XBLR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of XBLR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XBLR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XBLR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move XBLR to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XBLR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XBLR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
