A slightly different version of the Modified icon appears when a graphic is modified and one or more instances are
updated while others are not.
Missing
The graphic is no longer in the location from which it was imported, although it may still exist somewhere.
Missing links can happen if someone deletes the original file or moves it to a different folder or server after it’s been
imported. You can’t know whether a missing file is up to date until its original is located. If you print or export a
document when this icon is displayed, the file may not print or export at full resolution.
Embedded
Embedding the contents of a linked file suspends management operations for that link. If the selected link
is currently in an “edit in place” operation, this option is not enabled. Unembedding the file restores management
operations to the link.
If a linked object does not appear on a specific document page, the following codes indicate where the object appears:
PB (pasteboard), MP (master page), OV (overset text), and HT (hidden text).

Use the Links panel
• To display the Links panel, choose Window > Links. Each linked file and automatically embedded file is identified
by name.
• To select and view a linked graphic, select a link in the Links panel and then click the Go To Link button
, click
the page number of the link in the Page column, or choose Go To Link in the Links panel menu. InCopy centers the
display around the selected graphic. To view a hidden object, you show the layer (or condition if it’s an anchored
object).
• To expand or collapse nested links, click the triangle icon to the left of the link. Nested links occur when the same
graphic appears several times in the document or when the linked EPS graphic or InCopy document contains links.
• To sort links in the panel, click the category title at the top of the Links panel to sort by that category. Click the same
category again to reverse the order. For example, if you click the Page category, the links appear in their order from
the first page to the last page. If you click Page again, the links are sorted from last page to first. Use Panel Options
to add columns to the Links panel.
Work with Links panel columns
You can display additional categories, such as Creation Date and Layer, in the Links panel to display more information
about the graphics. For each category, you can determine whether the information appears as a column in the Links
panel and in the Link Info section at the bottom of the Links panel.
1
Choose Panel Options from the Links panel menu.
2
Select the check boxes under Show Column to add columns in the Links panel.
Folder 0 is the folder that contains the linked file; Folder 1 is the folder that contains Folder 0, and so on.
3
Select the check boxes under Show In Link Info to display the information in the Link Info section at the bottom of
the Links panel.
4
Click OK.
You can change the order of columns by selecting a column and dragging it to a different location. Drag the column
boundaries to change the column width. Click a category title to sort the links by that category in ascending order. Click
again to sort in descending order.
