Update assignment files (InDesign)

You can save changes to assignments manually or when you close the current document. Updating an assignment file is the only way to make layout changes available to InCopy users.

Do one of the following:

To update selected assignments, select them in the Assignments panel and choose Update Selected Assignments from the Assignments panel menu.
To update all out-of-date assignments in the current document, choose Update Out-Of-Date Assignments from the Assignments panel menu. Only assignments that are out of date are updated.
To update all assignments in the current document, choose Update All Assignments from the Assignments panel menu.

Note: If an InCopy user has an assignment open when you update the assignment, the Out Of Date icon

appears next to the assignment in the InCopy Assignments panel.
