USING INCOPY CS4 88 Sharing content between InCopy and InDesign Correct mistakes If you make a mistake, you can discard changes made since the last Save command and restore the content from the file system. Because InDesign automatically saves every editable InCopy content file when you save the InDesign document, the Cancel Checkout command restores only versions since the last time the document was changed. ❖ Do one of the following: • To undo the most recent change, choose Edit > Undo [action]. • To undo all changes made since the last time you saved the document, choose File > Revert Content. • To undo changes since the last saved version and remove the lock file, select the content in the Assignments panel and choose Cancel Check Out from the panel menu. This action makes the content read-only and available for others to check out. Overriding locked files (InDesign) Users might not immediately realize how their actions affect others in the workflow, and might accidentally create situations where conflicts exist between content status and ownership. If necessary, the InDesign user can resolve conflicts by unlinking a locked file checked out to a different user and taking control over the file. Unlinking a file stores the content in the InDesign document, but the content is no longer shared with InCopy. See also "Unlink content files (InDesign)" on page 88 "Accidentally updating your work" on page 84 Unlink content files (InDesign) If necessary (because of a production deadline, for example), InDesign users can remove a content file from the managed workflow and from the Links panel by unlinking it. If you want to make the content available again for editing, you must reexport it as InCopy content using a different file name. This ensures that the old lock file won't prevent users from editing the file. Note: Unlinking your own checked-out file removes it from the workflow and deletes the lock file from disk. You can reexport the content and overwrite the file name without conflict. ❖ To unlink an InCopy content file, select the file (.icml or .incx extension) in the Links panel and choose Unlink from the panel menu. Unlinking embeds the content into the document and removes the link to the InCopy file on disk. To relink the file, choose Edit > Undo Unlink. You can also unlink by deleting a frame, or using the InDesign Links panel to relink a content file to another file. You can also select the story in the Assignments panel and drag it to the Trash icon. Placing InCopy files in InDesign documents Although a typical workflow begins in InDesign, where the basic layout and text and graphics placeholders are defined and exported to InCopy, a different workflow can start with a stand-alone InCopy content file (.icml or .incx) that you place in InDesign using the File > Place command.
