If
necessary (because of a production deadline, for example), InDesign
users can remove a content file from the managed workflow and from
the Links panel by
unlinking it. If you want to make
the content available again for editing, you must reexport it as
InCopy content using a different file name. This ensures that the
old lock file won’t prevent users from editing the file.
Note: Unlinking
your own checked-out file removes it from the workflow and deletes the
lock file from disk. You can re-export the content and overwrite
the file name without conflict.
