Since the update I can no longer edit any of my photos. They are all stuck with a rotating wheel and say ‘Preview not editable’. This is true for photos I had in Lightroom and for any new imports. I’ve always had syncing turned off as my Internet is slow to non-existant. This worked perfectly before the last

I was about to say I've seen a bug on that, but it was yours! Glad to see it was solved so quickly. https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/can-t-edit-anything-since-update

How was it solved?
I can't read more than three lines of the OP, and it ends with "this was working fine before...". Seems like the post is not displaying correctly.
Anyway, I had exactly the same problem with my 2020 ipad and LR CC 5.2.5. Grey menus, and the cloud icon showing "Preview - Not editable". Upgraded both ipad OS and LR to the latest and it was fixed. Tap on cloud icon now shows "Smart Preview".
I have a thread on adobe forums on this:

It was solved the same way you solved your issue....by upgrading Lr to the latest version.

So then I conclude that LR v 5.2.5, the one I was on, was a complete dud and should never have been released. Pretty grim.
