Unable to save work

During my lesson I tried to save my work but was unable to. An error message kept appearing saying "an error occurred when trying to save the file ./index.html.(error SecurityError)". Does anyone know how to fix this?

Is the directory you're saving to being used by another program? Or do you write privileges to the directory?

I don't think it was being use by another program. The workspace just would not response when I tried to save my work. I ended up existing the whole program, logged out and logged back in. Everything ran smoothly after that. It could have been a glitch on my computer.
