, in in Copy, content in frames outside an assignment isn’t editable and is visible only in Layout view. Exports all content in the In. Design document to the assignment file.
How do I use InCopy with InDesign?
, the in Design connection can be made before the In. Copy user starts writing and editing text, while the writing is in progress, or after the text work is finished. Once the content is linked, the In. Copy user can see (but not change) the page layouts, styles, and so on, as they appear in the In, and design document.
, about in Copy workflows Tight integration between In. Copy and In. Design enables a workflow that lets writers, editors, and designers work simultaneously on the same In. Design document, without overwriting each other’s work. The workflow system allows users to check files out and in, thereby preserving file integrity.
You may be thinking “How do I create a link between InCopy and InDesign?”
, the in Design user makes this connection from within In. Design; you cannot create or manage the link from In, and copy., the in Design connection can be made before the In. Copy user starts writing and editing text, while the writing is in progress, or after the text work is finished.
, using in Copy, writers and editors can take full control of text, including typesetting functions such as applying formatting styles (usually imported from In. Design), copyfitting, adjusting line and page breaks, setting hyphenation, kerning, and so on.
How do I export content from InDesign to InCopy?
, an in Design user can export content to In. Copy, which creates a link between the two applications. You can open this shared content, or assignment, in In. Copy, and then check out the content using the Assignments panel. Can I adjust the workflow assignments after initial setup?
You export In. Design text frames, graphics frames, and their contents to In. Copy using either of two methods: Create a container file (*.icma)—called an assignment—and add related groupings of document items (such as the text and graphics of a story) to the assignment so they can be worked on together.
What can you do with an InCopy file?
With a linked In. Copy file, you can do just about anything that concerns the text itself. For example, you can specify text-formatting options, change fonts, and carry out other editing and copyfitting functions within the design and formatting limits of the In. Design layout and your workflow system.
It is therefore important that you remember to save your work occasionally to prevent losing your work if In. Copy or your computer crashes. You can do this by using the option called “Save all content”under the “File”menu or by using the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl + S”.

What is a linked InCopy document?
For specific details about your workflow system, talk to the system integrator. A linked In. Copy document is a content file (either text or graphics) that is placed in an open In. Design document or assignment file. The content is associated with an In. Design layout, and therefore managed by the In, and design document.
