When InCopy users open the updated package, only new content is added automatically to the assignment; InCopy
users can decide whether to overwrite existing content, allowing them to preserve previous edits.
Receive packages (InCopy)
You may receive a package from an InDesign user who created the package or from an InCopy user who forwarded the
package to you. When you open an assignment package, the package is decompressed, and the contents are copied to
a new subfolder in an InCopy Assignments folder.
