In InDesign, assignment files are containers for organizing collections of page items. For example, you might want to select all the items in a story (headline, byline, copy, graphics, and captions), and then assign them to one InCopy user.

- Learn how to create an ebook in InDesign and convert it to EPUB - the open-source ebook format that's suitable for most distribution channels. Anne-Marie also covers how to convert Word manuscripts, optimize text and images, embed fonts, use free scripts, and add special features for accessibility and cleaner HTML and CSS.
- The InDesign and InCopy workflow allows everyone to work on the layout and do what they do best: designers design, editors edit, writers write. Built-in security prevents more than one user from editing the same story at the same time.
- InCopy shines when it is used with InDesign. And when it is, it surpasses all the other word processors in doing what it can do. Word processors like Microsoft Word or Google Docs are meant to write. The layout is not the general focus for these programs and adding images or media files is a nightmare (especially Microsoft Word).

'How do I break existing links between InCopy and InDesign? I have picked up a file from a previous design group that requires me to check in and check out every time I open and try to edit the content.'
If you are sure that you want to sever the link between InCopy and InDesign, and do all further editing of all stories in InDesign, you can just go to the Links panel, and select any .icml, .icma, or .incx files you find there (the file types vary depending on your version of InDesign/InCopy). Then just choose Unlink from the Links panel menu.
