is created in the same location as the InDesign file.
Lets InCopy users see the text and graphics frames in the assignment as well as boxes (or other
Placeholder Frames
shapes) representing all other frames on those InDesign pages. All frames and placeholders accurately reflect the size,
shape, and location of the InDesign originals. Placeholder frames are empty shapes that don't show any of the content
in the InDesign document. The Placeholder Frames option provides the least amount of fidelity, and therefore
provides the fastest performance. In InCopy, the placeholder frames are visible only in Layout view. InCopy users
cannot check out and edit placeholder frames.
Lets InCopy users see all assigned frames, as well as the entire contents of other frames that aren't

part of the assignment, on the same spread. In InCopy, content in frames outside an assignment isn't editable and is
visible only in Layout view.
Exports all content in the InDesign document to the assignment file. This option provides the maximum
All Spreads
amount of fidelity; it also provides the slowest performance because the assignment file displays the design and layout
of every page, including pages not relevant to the section a user is editing.
Linked Image Files When Packaging
gives InCopy users access to images but increases the package's file size. InCopy users can include images while
returning a package.
Export content as separate InCopy files (InDesign)
If your workgroup prefers working with separate files rather than using assignments, you can export InCopy content
without using an assignments file. Compared with creating a single assignment file with references to multiple content
files and layout information, this method creates a separate file (.icml) for each text or graphics frame you specify in
the document. To see the context of the content you are editing, you must also open the associated InDesign document
(.indd).
Cater the InDesign document to suit your workflow needs. For example, if you want all of the editor's comments to be
exported in a single file, create a layer for the editor to make comments. You can then export all the content on the
selected layer.
Note: A quick way to export content as separate InCopy files is to use the Selection tool to drag selected frames into the
Unassigned InCopy Content in the Assignments panel.

All Stories
Exports every graphic that has not been exported already.
All Graphics
Exports every story and graphic that has not been exported already.
All Graphics And Stories
If you export all content in the document, and then add more text or graphics frames to the same document, you can
save time exporting the new ones by using the Export > All Stories (or All Graphics or All Graphics And Stories)
command again. InDesign exports only the new content.
