In general, change the feature settings in the dialog box, and then save the settings. Styles and presets are stored in the
document in which they are created. You can use the settings from another document by importing or loading the
styles and presets from that document. In addition, most presets can be exported or saved to a separate file and
distributed to other computers.
Mike Witherell provides a detailed list of presets in Adobe InDesign Presets (PDF, English only).
You can also share styles and presets across all documents in a book file. For more information, see “ Synchronize book
documents ” on page 315.
Recovery and undo
Recover documents
InDesign 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 InDesign 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
1 Restart your computer.
2 Start InDesign.
If automatically recovered data exists, InDesign 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 InDesign fails after attempting to open a document using automatically recovered changes, the automatically
recovered data may be corrupted.
