Each open book file appears on its own tab in the Book panel. If multiple books are open at the same time, click a tab to bring that book to the front and access its panel menu.
Icons in the Book panel indicate
a document’s current status, such as open , missing
(the
document was moved, renamed, or deleted), modified
(the document
was edited or its page or section numbers changed while the book was
closed), or in use
(if
someone else has the document open). No icon appears next to closed
documents.
Book files are separate from document files. For example, when you choose the Save Book command, InDesign saves the changes to the book, not the documents in the book.
To save a book under a new name, choose Save Book As in the Book panel menu, specify a location and filename, and click Save.
To save an existing book under the same name, choose
Save Book in the Book panel menu, or click the Save button at
the bottom of the Book panel.
Removing the document from the book file doesn’t delete the file on disk; the document is removed only from the book file.
