Updating the layout in InCopy is useful for copyfitting tasks, because the latest appearance and line breaks are visible
in Layout and Galley views.

Do one of the following:

• If you have an assignment file open and the Assignments panel shows the Out Of Date icon

next to the

assignment name, click the Update Design button

, or choose File > Update Design. You cannot undo this

command.

• If you are not working with assignment files and you have more than one InDesign document open, select the

one you want to make active, and choose File > Update Design.

Check in content

When you check in a managed content file, you save it to a shared location on a file system where it can be checked out
by others for editing or other changes. Exporting a text or graphics frame from InDesign also checks it in automatically.

Although a checked-in file is available for editing, it is not actually editable until it is checked out (unless you edit the
content in stand-alone mode in InCopy). Checking in content relinquishes editing control, but does not close the file.
The content remains open on your screen, but in a read-only state.

The LiveEdit Workflow plug-ins do not create multiple file versions. Instead, files are overwritten when updated in
either InCopy or InDesign.

If you are working on an assignment package, return or forward the assignment package after checking it in.

Check in managed content (InDesign)

Do one of the following:

• Select the content in the layout and choose Edit > InCopy > Check In.

• In the Assignments panel, select the content and choose Check In from the panel menu.

Check in managed content (InCopy)

Do one of the following:

• Select the content in Layout view and choose File > Check In.

• In the Assignments panel, select the content and choose Check In from the panel menu.

Note: You can undo the most recent changes before you check in content.

When you check in a file, the Available icon appears on the text or graphics frame in the InDesign layout, in the
InCopy Layout view, in the Assignments panel, and in the story bar (InCopy).

Save changes (InDesign)

As you work on content you have checked out, you can save your changes and update the file-system copy.

Do one of the following:

• To save the selected content without saving changes to the InDesign document or any of its linked files, select the

content in the layout and choose Edit > InCopy > Save Content.

• To save every content file checked out to you, choose File > Save. This type of save does not automatically update

assignment files or checked-out content files in InCopy. However, the checked-out files in InCopy will show the
Out Of Date icon

in the Assignments panel.
