Viewing link status in the Links panel
A linked graphic can appear in the Links panel in any of the following three ways:
•
An up-to-date graphic displays only the filename and its page in the document.
•
A modified file displays a yellow triangle with an exclamation point ( ). This
alert icon means that the version of the file on disk is more recent than the ver-
sion in your document. For example, this icon will appear if you import a Pho-
toshop graphic into InDesign, and then another artist edits and saves the ori-
ginal graphic using Photoshop.
•
A missing file displays a red hexagon with a question mark ( ). The file isn't
at the location from which it was originally imported, though the file may still
exist somewhere. This can happen if someone moves an original file to a dif-
ferent folder or server after it's been imported into an InDesign document. You
can't know whether a missing graphic is up to date until its original is located.
If you print or export a document when this icon is displayed, the graphic may
not print or export at full resolution.

Adjusting display quality
Now that you've resolved all of the links, you're ready to start adding more graphics. But
first, you will adjust the view quality of the Illustrator file (10_i.ai) that you updated earlier
in this lesson.
When you place an image in a document, InDesign automatically creates a lowresolution
(proxy) view of it, corresponding to the current settings in the Display Performance section
of the Preferences dialog box. The images in this document are currently low-resolution
proxies, which is why they appear to have jagged edges. Reducing the onscreen quality of
