Can you still open your file? If not, then I'm sorry to say that your file has ceased to be. 

In plain English, your file is corrupted. Can't be used anymore.

 

This happens sometimes and can be a bummer. Please use your back-up file with the extension .bak, and rename it to the workflow's original extension of yxmd.

 

Please find documentation here:

Hope this helps.
