•
Deletes the assignment file from the file system.
•
Removes the assignment name from the list.
•
Moves any InCopy content to the Unassigned InCopy Content section in the Assignments panel.

that the assignment has been deleted. However, the content files are not deleted and can be updated without loss of
changes.

Relink missing assignment files (InDesign)
If you move or delete an assignment file from disk, and then open the InDesign document from which it was created,
InDesign won’t know where the assignment file is located. You need to re-create the assignment file so InDesign can
find it.

Correct mistakes
If you make a mistake, you can discard changes made since the last Save command and restore the content from the
file system.
Because InDesign automatically saves every editable InCopy content file when you save the InDesign document, the
Cancel Checkout command restores only versions since the last time the document was changed.
❖
Do one of the following:
•
To undo the most recent change, choose Edit > Undo [action].
•
To undo all changes made since the last time you saved the document, choose File > Revert Content.
