A typical updating workflow is as follows:
1 The InCopy user opens an assignment file or checks out an individual content file and edits the content.
2 The InCopy user saves the content file, which updates the copy on the file system, and continues working.
3 The InDesign user sees the Out Of Date icon in both the Assignments panel and the Links panel next to the
selection, and the In Use and Text Content Out Of Date icon or Graphics Content Out Of Date icon on
the associated frame.
