Note: The InCopy Notes and Track Changes features also use the specified name to identify the author of a note or a
tracked change.
1 Do either of the following:
• Choose File > User.
• Choose User from the Assignments panel menu (Window > Assignments).
2 Type a unique name and click OK.
If you forget to specify a user name using this method, you’re prompted to enter one when you attempt your first
workflow action.
Note: The Color pop-up menu in this dialog box is for identifying editorial notes and tracked changes. You can choose
the color now if you want, but it doesn’t affect anything you do in a managed workflow.
Workflow icons
Icons can appear on text and graphics frames, in the Links panel, the Assignments panel, and in the story bar
(InCopy only). Edit status icons appear next to the managed file in the Links panel and Assignments panel, and
communicate content status. Text frame icons appear on a text frame that contains a linked InCopy story (in the
Layout view in both InDesign and InCopy). These icons also communicate content status and can be used to differ-
entiate between managed and unmanaged content. The associated tool tip indicates editing status and ownership. To
view the text frame icons, make sure that frame edges are showing in InDesign and InCopy (View > Show Frame
Edges).
Note: (InDesign) The InDesign document window must be in Normal Mode for the frame edges to show. (Click the
Normal Mode button
at the lower left of the toolbox.)
