When you check out available content in InCopy, you see the Editing icon on the InCopy frame, and in the
Assignments panel. In InDesign, the In Use icon appears on the InDesign frame.
Opening managed files (InCopy)
Opening a managed content file (.incx) directly in InCopy and working with it in Story view may be more appro-
priate for quick writing and editing. You do not have to check out an individual managed file to edit it; InCopy
automaticallychecksitout.Whenyousaveandclosethefile,InCopyautomaticallychecksinthecontent.TheSave
commands are different when you open individual files.

Update assignment files (InDesign)
You can save changes to assignments manually or when you close the current document. Updating an assignment
file is the only way to make layout changes available to InCopy users.
❖ Do one of the following:
• To update selected assignments, select them in the Assignments panel and choose Update Selected Assignments
from the Assignments panel menu.
• To update all out-of-date assignments in the current document, choose Update All Assignments from the Assign-
ments panel menu. Only assignments that are out of date are updated.
Note: If an InCopy user has an assignment open when you update the assignment, the Out Of Date icon appears
next to the assignment in the InCopy Assignments panel.

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To make sure that you’re always working on the most up-to-date content, be sure to watch for Out Of Date icons in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
orupdatingindividualcontentfilescopiesdatafromthelatestfilesystemcopysothattheversiondisplayedonyour
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3 The InDesign user sees the Out Of Date icon in both the Assignments panel and the Links panel next to the
selection, and the In Use and Text Content Out Of Date icon or Graphics Content Out Of Date icon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.
Dear manymanuals.pl Admin! my name’s Eric and for just a second, imagine this… - Someone does a search and winds up at manymanuals.pl. - They hang out for a minute to check it out. I’m interested… but… maybe… - And then they hit the back button and check out the other search results instead. - Bottom line – you got an eyeball, but nothing else to show for it. - There they go. This isn’t really your fault – it happens a LOT – studies show 7 out of 10 visitors to any site disap
Dear, Eric here with a quick thought about your website manymanuals.pl Owner! I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites. Like yours, many of them have great content. But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits. I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else. Here’s a solution for y
