Update content
To make sure that you’re always working on the most up-to-date content, be sure to watch for Out Of Date icons in
the Assignments panel, and then update content accordingly. Updating an InCopy assignment file and its contents or
updating individual content files copies data from the latest file system copy so that the version displayed on your
computer matches the one on the file system. Updating does not require checking in or out and does not give you
editing rights. However, updating can cause problems if another user has deleted your lock.
Note: Updating content does not update content in assignment packages that have not been returned.
A typical updating workflow is as follows:
1 The InCopy user opens an assignment file or checks out an individual content file and edits the content.
2 The InCopy user saves the content file, which updates the copy on the file system, and continues working.
3 The InDesign user sees the Out Of Date icon
in both the Assignments panel and the Links panel next to the
selection, and the In Use
and Text Content Out Of Date icon
or Graphics Content Out Of Date icon
on the associated frame.
