Recovery and undo
Recovering a document
InCopy guards your data against unexpected power or system failures by using an automatic recovery feature.
Automatically recovered data exists in a temporary file that is separate from the original document file on disk.
Under normal circumstances you don’t need to think about automatically recovered data, because any document
updates stored in the automatic recovery file are automatically added to the original document file when you choose
the Save or Save As command or exit InCopy normally. Automatically recovered data is important only if you were
not able to save successfully before an unexpected power or system failure.
Even though thedocumentrecoveryfeature exists, youshouldsaveyourfiles oftenand create backup filesincaseof
unexpected power or system failures.

To find recovered documents
1 Restart your computer.
2 Start InCopy.
If automatically recovered data exists, InCopy automatically displays the recovered document. The word [Recovered]
appearsafter thefilenameinthe titlebar of thedocumentwindowtoindicatethatthe document contains unsaved
changes that were automatically recovered.
Note: If InCopy fails after attempting to open a document using automatically recovered changes, the automatically
recovered data may be corrupted.
3 Do one of the following:
• For InCopy files linked to an InDesign publication, choose File > Save.
• For stand-alone InCopy files, choose File > Save As, specify a location and a new file name, and click Save. The
Save As command creates a new file that includes the automatically recovered data.
• To discard any automatically recovered changes and use the last saved version of the file, choose File > Revert
Content.
To change the location of recovered documents
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > File Handling (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > File Handling (Mac OS).
2 Under Document Recovery Data, click Choose.
3 Specify the new location for the recovered document, click OK, and then click OK again.
