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be sure to watch for Out Of Date icons in the Assignments panel,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:
The InCopy user opens
an assignment file or checks out an individual content file and
edits the content.
The InCopy user saves the content file, which updates the
copy on the file system, and continues working.
The InDesign user sees the Out Of Date icon in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Text Content Out Of Date icon or
Graphics Content Out Of Date icon on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.
