User Guide
An InDesign document (.indd) with an assignment file (.inca) composed of three linked content files (.incx). The assignment and its components
are listed in the Assignments palette and are opened in InCopy.
Open linked InCopy files exported from InDesign
In certain workflows, InDesign users might export text and graphics as separate files, rather than wrapping them
inside an assignment file. Exporting separate files is useful if you work on unrelated graphics or bodies of text.
However, InCopy users will not be able to see how the content fits within the InDesign layout, unless they open the
InDesign file or assignment file in InCopy. This can be time-consuming for a large InDesign document, especially if
it is located on another networked computer. (For more information about exporting InDesign content using this
method, see
“To export content as separate InCopy files (InDesign)” on page 131.)
