Assignments panel overview
The primary tool for working with assignments is the Assignments panel (Window > Assignments). The Assign-
ments panel displays the files exported from the currently active InDesign document, and an icon indicates their
status. The Assignments panel menu also contains commands that control import version and file-management
functions between InCopy and InDesign. When you open an assignment in InCopy, the assignment name and its
contents appear in the Assignments panel. You can double-click text and graphics frames in the Assignments panel
to select them in the document window.
Note: All content exported to InCopy or added to an assignment is also listed in the Links panel. Although you can do
some workflow management tasks, such as checking out and checking in content, the recommended panel for these tasks
is the Assignments panel.
