</div><p>When the same graphic appears several times in the document,
the links are combined under a disclosure triangle in the Links
panel. When a linked EPS graphic or InDesign document
contains links, the links are also combined under a disclosure triangle. </p>
<p>A linked file can appear in the Links panel in any of the following
ways:</p>
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Up to Date</dt>
<dd>An up-to-date file is blank in the Status column.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Modified</dt>
<dd>This icon means that the version of the file on disk is more
recent than the version in your document. For example, this icon
appears if you import a Photoshop graphic into InDesign, and then you or someone else
edits and saves the original graphic in Photoshop.<p>A slightly
different version of the Modified icon appears when a graphic is modified
and one or more instances are updated while others are not. </p>
</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Missing</dt>
<dd>The graphic is no longer in the location from which it was
imported, although it may still exist somewhere. Missing links can
happen if someone deletes the original file or moves it to a different
folder or server after it’s been imported. You can’t know whether
a missing file is up to date until its original is located. If you
print or export a document when this icon is displayed, the file may
not print or export at full resolution.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Embedded</dt>
<dd>Embedding the contents of a linked file suspends management operations
for that link. If the selected link is currently in an “edit in
place” operation, this option is not enabled. Unembedding the file
restores management operations to the link.<p>If a linked object
does not appear on a specific document page, the following codes
indicate where the object appears: PB (pasteboard), MP (master page),
OV (overset text), and HT (hidden text).</p>
