If the InCopy user is working on the assignment (has it open) when the InDesign user changes it and updates it, the changes aren't immediately visible in the open assignment in InCopy.

But what should happen is that in their document, the title bar changes to show the text "[Out of Date]" after the name of the assignment, and the yellow out of date icon appears next to the assignment filename at the top of their Assignments palette.

To see the changes the designer made to the Assignment, the InCopy user has to choose Update Design from the File menu or from the Assignment palette menu.

Could this be the issue? (the IC user didn't update their design?)

On the other hand, if no one is working on the assignment in InCopy when the designer makes a change to it and updates it, then there's no need for IC users to update the design. The next time someone opens the assignment in IC, they'll see the current "version" of it (with the designer's changes).

If IC users are opening an assignment and not seeing changes you made to it, and you're all positive that there's only one assignment by that name, then something's glitchy. Let us know.
