InCopy guards your data against unexpected power or system failures using an automatic recovery feature.
Automatically recovered data exists in a temporary file that is separate from the original document file on disk. Under
normal circumstances you don’t need to think about automatically recovered data, because any document updates
stored in the automatic recovery file are automatically added to the original document file when you choose the Save
or Save As command or exit from InCopy normally. Automatically recovered data is important only if you’re unable to
save successfully before an unexpected power or system failure.

Even though these features exist, you should save your files often and create backup files in case of unexpected power
or system failures.

Find recovered documents

Restart your computer.

Start InCopy .

If automatically recovered data exists, InCopy automatically displays the recovered document. The word
[Recovered] appears after the filename in the title bar of the document window to indicate that the document
contains unsaved changes that were automatically recovered.

Note: If InCopy fails after attempting to open a document using automatically recovered changes, the automatically
recovered data may be corrupted.

Do one of the following:

• For Adobe InCopy® files linked to an InDesign publication, choose File > Save.

• For stand-alone InCopy files, choose File >Save As, specify a location and a new filename, and click Save. The

Save As command creates a new file that includes the automatically recovered data.

• To discard any automatically recovered changes and use the last saved version of the file, choose File > Revert
