Manage book files
Each open book file appears on its own tab in the Book panel. If multiple books are open at the same time, click a
tab to bring that book to the front and access its panel menu.
Icons in the Book panel indicate a document’s current status, such as open , missing (the document was
moved, renamed, or deleted), modified (the document was edited or its page or section numbers changed while
the book was closed), or in use (if someone else has the document open). No icon appears next to closed
documents.
To view the pathname of any document in a book, hold the mouse pointer over the document name until a tooltip
appears. Or, choose Document Information from the Book panel menu.
Save a book file
Book files are separate from document files. For example, when you choose the Save Book command, InDesign saves
the changes to the book, not the documents in the book.
❖ Do one of the following:
• To save a book under a new name, choose Save Book As in the Book panel menu, specify a location and filename,
and click Save.
• To save an existing book under the same name, choose Save Book in the Book panel menu, or click the Save
button
at the bottom of the Book panel.
Note: If you are sharing book files over a server, make sure that you have a file management system in place so that you
don’t save over each other’s changes accidentally.
Close a book file
• To close a single book, choose Close Book in the book’s panel menu.
• To close all open books docked together in the same panel, click the close button on the Book panel’s title bar.
Remove book documents
1 Select the document in the Book panel.
2 Choose Remove Document in the Book panel menu.
Removing the document from the book file doesn’t delete the file on disk; the document is removed only from the
book file.
Replace book documents
1 Select the document in the Book panel.
2 Choose Replace Document in the Book panel menu, locate the document you want to replace it with, and then
click Open.
Synchronize book documents
When you synchronize documents in a book, the items you specify—styles, variables, master pages, trap presets,
numbering lists, and swatches—are copied from the style source to the specified documents in the book, replacing
any items that have identical names.
If items in the style source are not found in the documents being synchronized, they are added. Items that are not
included in the style source are left as is in the documents being synchronized.
