hi! so i’m currently editing a book in design with incopy assignments within it. i want to create a copy of the file to then share with my client via drop box. the issue i’m facing is that i would preferably want one copy on drop box and another locally on my laptop, and to do so seems to be problematic because of the icml links. i have exported all the content in the indesign doc as icml files so i can easily add them to assignments when needed, but now to create a copy, that copy is still linked to those original icml files. im wondering if it’s possible to “re-export” the content in the copy as icml files, or duplicate those icml files so they are almost like a separate set only used for the copy? if more context is needed let me know!

Make a copy of your whole "package" - then rename original folder - not just the INDD file.
