  Document Status: The document you are trying to change is in a status that does not allow modifications. This often happens when the document is awaiting approval or is locked for changes.
  Versioning: The system has created a version of the document that is marked as "For Release," which indicates that it is in a state where it cannot be altered until it is released.

  Consult with Workflow Administrator: If the document is part of a workflow, consult with the workflow administrator to understand the current status and whether any actions are required to release the document.
  Create a New Version: If changes are necessary and the document cannot be modified, consider creating a new version of the document or a new document altogether, depending on your business processes.
