    Hi,

    If Source control is enabled, can you compare it with the previous version?

    When editing the file manually, you removed some things that must be there. Now the file doesn't have the right structure and can't be loaded.

    Hi,

    I think if you use source control you can try to get latest version of that files and do a full build, seem you might delete something that make the XML content of the object invalid.
