Can I move all pictures I have used in a document to one folder in a easy way so I can move the document from one computer to another without a lot of broken links?

[Robert Tkaczyk · Accepted solution]

It's called Package - in the File menu.

Thanks!

1. Open the Links panel (Window > Links);

2. In the Links panel select all the links you want to copy to the separate folder.

3. Right-click and select Copy Link(s) to

4. Select the destination folder and click OK.

Or indeed package!

Hi @Golvprofil i 28846005yerw , Another way to do it is move the InDesign document and its Links into your User>Creative Cloud Files folder. Files placed in that folder will automatically sync to your Adobe cloud account, and if you log in to a different computer using your account, the files will sync to that computer’s Creative Cloud Files folder and you won’t have to move any files.

Or...any other cloud service such as Dropbox or OneDrive.

I don't understand the reluctance of people to do this. It's a safety net against lost files and provides automatic versioning (I don't use CC storage, but with Dropbox and Onedrive every time you save, a new version is created. With one click you can restore that even after deleting it.)

The Adobe cloud storage also lets your retrieve files from a save history—right-click a file and choose View on Website to view the saved versions:

Thanks for that. I don't use it but figured it was available in there somewhere. Do you know how long that record of revisions is kept available? For Dropbox it's 30 days unless you pay for an upgraded plan.

Looks like it’s also 30 days.
