Rename InCopy stories

When a story is exported from InDesign, it is given a document filename with a .icml extension (or .incx for CS3 compatible stories). InCopy automatically uses this filename as the story name that appears in the Assignments panel and story separator bar. Unlike the filename, the story name is embedded in the file.

  1. To change a story name manually, open a story file in InCopy.
  2. Choose File > Content File Info.
  3. Make sure that the Description tab is selected, and then type a new name for Document Title.
Note: Depending on the workflow processes of your system, an administrator might have to change the story name for you. If you are unable to rename the story by following the steps above, talk to your workflow administrator.

You can also change the story name in the Assignments panel when the story is checked out. However, the filename is not changed on disk.
