L. Edit Original button
A linked file can appear in the Links panel in any of the following ways:
Up-to-date An up-to-date file displays only the file’s name and its page in the document.
Modified This icon means that the version of the file on disk is more recent than the version in your document. For
example, this icon will appear if you import a Photoshop graphic into InDesign, and then another artist edits and
saves the original graphic in Photoshop.
Missing The graphic is no longer in the location from which it was imported, although it may still exist somewhere.
This can happen if someone moves the original file to a different folder or server after it’s been imported into an
InDesign document. You can’t know whether a missing file is up to date until its original is located. If you print or
export a document when this icon is displayed, the file may not print or export at full resolution.
Embedded Embedding the contents of a linked file suspends management operations for that link. If the selected
link is currently in an “edit in place” operation, this option is not enabled. Unembedding the file restores
management operations to the link.
