TOPIC APPEARS IN:

Edit original artwork

The Edit Original command lets you open most graphics in the application in which you created them so that you can modify it as necessary. Once you save the original file, the document in which you linked it is updated with the new version.

Note: In InDesign, if you check out and select a managed graphics frame (one that has been exported to InCopy), rather than the graphic itself, the graphic opens in InCopy.
