Freeform can’t create a link to share a board

One or two years ago I created a board for an exam. Now I want to send it to a friend of mine but when I click on any sharing option, a pop-up appears and it says that it was not possible to create a link for the board and to try again later. Could the problem be the size of the board? It’s very big. In fact, when I try to share smaller board it immediately lets me. Is there a size limit?

iPhone 13, iOS 18

Freeform: can't share board I'm running the latest Ventura (13.4) and experimenting with Freeform for the first time. When I first launched the app, it asked me if I wanted to enable iCloud Drive saving; I clicked yes and made sure it was turned on in the preferences. I did a good hour of work creating a board. But now I'd like to share it with someone. When I go back to All Boards and right-click on my board then click share, it tells me, "Can't share board. This board is still uploading to iCloud. Try again in a few minutes." I've waited half an hour now. There is no extra media in my board (just text). It should be a very tiny board requiring negligible upload time. Also, in the Finder, I went to my iCloud Drive, and I don't see a Freeform folder there. So I don't even know where my board is currently living. It'd be a great shame if an hour's worth of work got lost. How can I fix this?

Share Button Action Changed? Previously (OS Monterey) the Share button on a web page allowed me to click on it, choose Messages (or select a recent Message recipient), and the screen focus would change allow me to enter some text into the message. With Ventura, this seems to have changed. When I share a web page the focus never changes. If I go to the Messages app, I can see the web page entered into a new message, but I now have to click on the Messages app in the Dock to see the message. Is this a bug in Ventura, or can anyone think of a reason for the change?
