Adobe Incopy Vs Indesign
GoCopy is an extension for Adobe InCopy and Adobe InDesign. Once installed, it runs inside your software as an extension panel. You use it to send content between the two products in either direction when you’re ready. Designers and copywriters can work locally using the same style sheets, paragraph and character styles. A linked InCopy document is a content file (either text or graphics) that is placed in an open InDesign document or assignment file. The content is associated with an InDesign layout, and therefore managed by the InDesign document. The InDesign user makes this connection from within InDesign; you cannot create or manage the link from InCopy. InCopy lets copywriters and editors style text, track changes, and make simple layout modifications to a document while designers work on the same document simultaneously in Adobe InDesign — all without overwriting each other’s contributions.

The capability of creating, editing, and opening InCopy assignments and files is an add-on feature to InDesign enabled through plug-ins. These features are installed automatically in CS3, but you have to add the plug-ins manually for CS2. In InDesign, assignment files are containers for organizing collections of page items. For example, you might want to select all the items in a story (headline, byline, copy, graphics, and captions), and then assign them to one InCopy user.

'How do I break existing links between InCopy and InDesign? I have picked up a file from a previous design group that requires me to check in and check out every time I open and try to edit the content.'

If you are sure that you want to sever the link between InCopy and InDesign, and do all further editing of all stories in InDesign, you can just go to the Links panel, and select any .icml, .icma, or .incx files you find there (the file types vary depending on your version of InDesign/InCopy). Then just choose Unlink from the Links panel menu.
