**How to Fix read-only/unable to save/unable to submit assignment Issue** Edit Note: 3 April 2023 (Coursera has informed us that the “permissions issue” has been fixed) Hi, Coursera has informed us that this issue has been resolved. Please get the latest copy of the notebook and let us know if it fixes it.

READ THIS!!! UPDATES ON THE ISSUE: I have had a chat with coursera support. No surprise there – they thought the issue has been fixed. I had to prove that it is not and provided screenshots in three different browsers. In the end, they have opened another bug ticket. (Internal ticket number: 03807916) I have asked, what do we do if the issue is not resolved by the time our subscription ends. They urged me to contact them directly if that happens. So, guys, please keep bugging them until the issue is fixed, otherwise nobody will do anything. Please refer to the ticket number above. Their support chat icon can be found directly on the assignment page. Good luck! ---
