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].

Note: You cannot undo certain actions, such as checking out content. For that action you use Cancel Checkout.

• To undo all changes made since the last time you saved the document, choose File > Revert Content.

• To undo changes since the last saved version and remove the lock file, select the content in the Assignments palette

and choose Cancel Check Out from the palette menu. This action checks in the file.

Overriding locked files (InDesign)

Users might not immediately realize how their actions affect others in the workflow, and might accidentally create

situations where conflicts exist between content status and ownership. If necessary, the InDesign user can resolve

conflicts by unlinking a locked file checked out to a different user and taking control over the file. Unlinking a file

stores the content in the InDesign document, but the content cannot be edited.

It’s important to be aware of the consequences of overriding locked files, as described in the related topics below.
