3. Edit the e-mail message by adding a recipient and providing any instructions. Send the message.
All items in the assignment are checked out to the assigned user. However, the contents of the package itself aren’t locked, so anyone can open
the package and edit them.
Cancel a package
In some cases, the package you send isn’t returned. For example, the message may have gotten lost, or the recipient may no longer work on the
project. In such a situation, you can cancel a package.
1. In the Assignments panel, select the packaged assignment, and choose Cancel Package from the panel menu.
2. Click OK to cancel the package.
Canceling a package doesn’t remove the package file from your computer.
When a package is cancelled, the package’s contents are available for editing. Be aware that if someone returns a package that has been
cancelled, conflicts may occur.
Update a package
After you create a package, you may want to add, remove, or resize items.
1. Add, remove, or resize one or more stories to the packaged assignment.
2. Select the assignment in the Assignments panel, and do one of the following:
Choose Update Package from the Assignments panel menu. Specify the name and location of the file. Make the updated package
available to users by placing it on a shared server or by e-mail. Remember to notify InCopy users that the package has been updated.
Choose Update Package And Email from the Assignments panel menu, and then send the message.
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.
Open a package (InCopy)
To open an InCopy package (*.icap or *.incp), do any of the following:
Launch the package using the e-mail application. For example, double-click the attachment file.
Use Explorer or Finder to open the file. For example, double-click the file or drag it to the InCopy application icon.
