The map was created and weighs 51 KB, but it needs editing. After editing, the file weighs 1 KB. I saved it as a new file, overwrote the existing one, changed the name, and tried many other things – the result is 1 KB, and the map is 1 KB.

The "original" is still available. How can I properly save the edited version?

P.S. The original works normally (i.e., the game recognizes and launches it).

I don't remember how I managed to save it like that...

This happens if the name of the map archive (the file containing the map and created along with it) or the path to the map contains Russian or any other characters besides Latin letters.

The trick is that the original works. And I saved it in the same place as its copies.

try saving it through an editor as... And rename it - remove the number and the digit.

I remember reading somewhere about a solution to this problem...
I don't recall what they suggested, but I'll just say that the issue probably isn't related to the path to the map. In the HoMM 5 Gold Edition editor, any map gets corrupted, regardless of what the map is or where it's located. However, in version 3.0, the editor works fine. I think the problem lies in the editor itself.

I tried. It doesn't help.

Perhaps, MasteR, but I have both Tribes of the East and Hammers of Fate, and also the original Heroes of Might and Magic V, and none of them cause any issues.

I sent the map to a friend. He opened it in the editor and closed it (without making any changes). As a result, the map size was 1 KB. P.S. Both clients downloaded the map from the same source.

Which version of the game is it?

Version 3.1. As I understand it, if the editor malfunctions and corrupts maps, you need to create the map in one go.

I also saved the edited map in the editor, both with and without Latin characters, and with only numbers – nothing helps. Moreover, the problem appeared suddenly. Previously, everything was working fine.
If anyone has a solution to this problem, please let me know!
