InCopy and InDesign
Last updated 6/13/2015
The assignment packages workflow is especially useful when designers and writers are working on the same project but
don’t have access to a local server. In such cases, the InDesign user can create one or more packages and send the
compressed files to the assigned InCopy users via e-mail. InCopy users can open the assignment packages, edit the
contents, and return the packages to the InDesign user, who can then update the document.
Open linked InCopy files exported from InDesign
In certain workflows, InDesign users might export text and graphics as separate files, rather than wrapping them inside
an assignment file. Exporting separate files is useful if you work on unrelated graphics or bodies of text. However,
InCopy users aren’t able to see how the content fits within the InDesign layout.
Open InDesign documents that have linked InCopy files
To see all page items in the context of an entire layout, InCopy users can open and edit an InDesign document in
InCopy. This approach can be useful for editing and copyfitting if seeing the overall layout is important, or for editing
most of the stories in a document rather than a few. After the InCopy user edits the stories, the InDesign user can then
update the links to the modified files. If the InDesign user changes the layout, the InCopy user is notified when the
InDesign document is saved.
Compose content entirely in InCopy
