Moving InDesign files on a server that has stable INCX links

What concerns are there with moving InDesign files into different folders on a file server that has INCX files linked as Unassigned InCopy Content? The INCX file location would stay constant. Were are not planning on using assignments. Our editorial/art staff currently moves InDesign documents from folder to folder to indicate the status of a document in the editorial workflow. I�m curious if we can still do this once we transition to an InCopy/InDeisign Live Edit workflow. I�ve done some initial testing with positive results. The InDesign link to the INCX files seem to stay intact. Any thoughts or concerns would be appreciated! -Mike

The linked INCX files are just like linked images. As long as your INDD file can find them, no problem. I would not do a Save As or rename the INDD files, though ... just move them. BTW it's okay to move them even if an InCopy user has opened the INDD file and has a story checked out. AM

Cool, thanks for the info. Wonder how you found that little tid-bit of information, must have been some sort of experiment. I once had a user work on a locally existing InDesign file for a few hours who wasn't in the habit of saving (since Indesign has such a great recovery feature.) Unfortunately, after a few hours of work, he went to finally save the document, but InDesign refused... couldn't even do a Save As. He called me down to his office in a panic since the document was still open. After a few minutes of checking InDesign logs on his Mac, I noticed a conflict in folder paths. I asked him if he moved the location of the InDesign document while the document was still open. He admitted that he probably did. After moving the InDesign document back to the original folder (same folder as the locked temp file), he was able to save the document. Go figure! -Mike
