File status options for the Links panel
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 (in Adobe® InDesign®) its page in the document.
Modified
A modified file is one for which the version of the file on disk is more recent than the version in your
document. This would occur, for example, when someone modifies a Photoshop graphic that you have already
placed into Illustrator.
