Indesign Vs Incopy
A linked InCopy document is a content file (either text or graphics) that is placed in an open InDesign document or assignment file. The content is associated with an InDesign layout, and therefore managed by the InDesign document. The InDesign user makes this connection from within InDesign; you cannot create or manage the link from InCopy. Upgrading InDesign and InCopy. When you are upgrading to a new version of Adobe InDesign or InCopy, keep the following in mind: All InDesign and InCopy users should use the same Adobe version. This is because documents created in a newer version cannot be opened in a previous version. To make Studio for InDesign and InCopy work, the default plug-ins are prevented from being loaded when InDesign, InCopy, and InDesign Server is started. A reference to these plug-ins is kept in a file named PluginConfig.txt which is stored in the application folder of InDesign, InDesign Server, and InCopy. The way that Studio.
'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.'
Installing InCopy Plug-Ins in InDesign. The capability of creating, editing, and opening InCopy assignments and files is an add-on feature to InDesign enabled through plug-ins. These features are installed automatically in CS3, but you have to add the plug-ins manually for CS2. 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.

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.
