Running without InCopy plugins
If running in InDesign without AssignmentUI, InCopyBridge, InCopyBridgeUI, InCopyExport, InCopyExportUI plugin (these are normally installed under ...\plugins\incopyworkflow), the following behavior change is expected:
- Inspect Assignment, Delete assignment works as normal
- Add to assignment will fail becuase we can not export story without InCopyBridge. No item is added to assignment, but the SnippetRunner log will still report success (known issue) Manipulate assignment snippet. Create, inspect, delete an assignment, add the selected item (story/graphic) to assignment.
