Hi all,

Hope you can help!

I've tried multiple times to submit an updated disavow file to Search Console and have been told on each occasion that it is the wrong file type - it's not.

I have checked this multiple times and re-saved with variations of the file name and extension, to no avail.

I am 99% sure that the file is correct. The error message tells me that the upload had no effect but still shows the file as available to download. Any insights would be much appreciated.

Thanks
