I hit this issue as well. Posting the work-around that I found:
1) Use the CTRL-Q / command to open the console
2) Copy the spec to Notepad++ as type JSON
3) Look for they sync section (row 22 in my screenshot). Collapse the "book" node on row 26. Delete the entire "0" section.. rows 25-158 in my example.
BEFORE:

AFTER:

Repaste the spec into PAW and you're good to go. It doesn't even delete the synchronization info as far as I can tell. Seems like a duplicate/invalid artifact left in there from Lifecycle manager / upgrading.
Bit more complicated that Jill's solution but it will persist and allow you to save going forward.
Cheers!

Sorry, missed a whole sentence in my previous post.
Replicate the issue (get the error) then follow the steps to fix the problem.
Sorry about that.

Hi Tim,
"CRTL+Q+/" this being up the book specification.
There is another workaround too:
Here is some javascript code snippet as a workaround through dev tools console.
let spec = __getDashboardAPI().getSpec()spec.sync.values = spec.sync.values[0]__getDashboardAPI().reloadFromJSONSpec(spec)
Please follow these steps:
1 - open book
2 - open dev tools
3 - switch to console tab
4 - type 'allow pasting' (no quotes)
5 - paste code snippet and hit enter.
6 - Done (edited)

Hello Karl,
where do you execute that "CRTL+Q" command? When editing the book directly in PAW? Not working for me so far.
We are facing the same issue after version uprade to .92

Thank you everyone for the responses, and I'm glad it's getting fixed soon.
I found a workaround, which was using the Ctrl+Q+/ feature combined with a notepad find/replace of the server name.
It's not ideal, but it works; I'm glad I'm not doing a large deployment/migration.

Hi All,
We have recently moved some books between environments and now we have some of them that simply will not save.
No matter what we do to the books this message comes up;

has anyone seen this before?
I've wasted a lot of time on this so far, deleting pages and resetting json, etc..
Nothing seems to work.
Cheers
