Disabling Auto-Sync of Import Files

Let's say you have imported Microsoft Word, Adobe FrameMaker, Microsoft Excel, or Flare files from another project, and when doing so, you selected the "Easy Sync" option to automatically reimport the files when you generate output. If you want to override that Easy Sync setting for a specific target, you can do so by using the steps below. Therefore, if you want to reimport any of the files, you will need to do so manually. See Global Project Linking—Importing Files From Other Projects,Importing Word Files, Importing FrameMaker Files, and Importing Excel Files.

You might decide to use this option, for example, if you are testing the generation of output and do not want to wait the extra time for the files to be imported. After you finish your testing, you can deselect this option to return to the automatic imports of the files.

  1. Open the target.
  2. In the Target Editor, select the General tab.
  3. Select the check box labeled Disable auto-sync of all import files.
  4. Click Save the active file. to save your work.
