Ever need to record the location of placed files, either for your own records or to send to someone else? You don’t have to manually type out a file path of a placed file in InDesign. All you have to do is visit the Links panel, select the file in the panel, and from the panel menu choose Copy Info > Copy Full Path (or Copy Platform Style Path).


You can also access this command by right-clicking on the file in the panel or in the Link Info section of the panel.
