InCopy documents
Last updated 6/13/2015
• Linked content is managed by your workflow system, where it is locked for access control. Your system might offer
several options for opening a linked story, such as checking out each InCopy file so that you alone can work on it.
For instructions, see your workflow system documentation or ask your system administrator, or check out content
using InCopy if your workflow uses the InCopy LiveEdit Workflow plug-ins.
Working with multistory files
When you work with linked documents, you can have more than one InCopy story in an InDesign file, depending on
your workflow system. A file with multiple stories must be created in InDesign as either an assignment file or an
InDesign file with linked InCopy content. You cannot use InCopy to create a multistory document. See your workflow
system documentation for details.
Multiple stories are shown and separated in Galley and Story views with a story separator bar. The story separator bar
provides easy access to each story created within an InDesign document.
The story separator bar contains the story title and an expand and collapse button which enables you to show or hide
each story. When a story is collapsed, the text is hidden and the story separator bar remains visible within the edit pane.

Transforming graphics
Position tool overview
Click the Position tool
in the toolbox to manipulate selected graphics, either directly, in conjunction with a
Transform command (Object > Transform) or a command on a context menu, or by using keyboard shortcuts to nudge
the graphic within its frame.
The Position tool is dynamic, automatically changing to reflect different states:
• When placed directly over an empty graphics frame or frame with unassigned content after using the File > Place
command, it changes to the loaded graphics icon
to indicate that you can import the graphic into that frame.
• When it’s placed directly over a graphic, it changes to the Hand tool to indicate that you can select the graphic and
manipulate it within the frame.
