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.

Just getting back to using InCopy 5.5. Last used 3. Along with unlinking, when I am packaging at end of project, I am also deleting the assignment from the assignments palette. Is this good practice since the document will still look for that when opening even with links broken?
Is it possible to unlink all assignments in a book? I have 11 chapters, and 8 appendices, all have linked assignments (unassigned). When I'm doing cross references, and the TOC, its a pain to have to checkout all those documents. Is there a way to quickly, unlink all assignments across an entire book?
