Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberIf you’re in InCopy and you check in a story or an assignment, InCopy automatically saves edits to the individual ICML files on the server. So, unless someone overwrites those, the edits were made and saved. They’re not lost. They’re just not linked to in the InDesign file.
I do hear this complaint on occasion, and 95% of the time what happened was that InDesign is linking to a different ICML file (shared InCopy story) than the one the editor worked on. And that can occur for a number of reasons. You can check by following the links in the Links panel and make sure the ICML stories listed there are the ones the editor was working on. If not, Relink the stories as you would Relink a placed PSD file.

PS By the way, you say you were in InDesign, and you “checked out the assignments” which is not possible to do. I’m guessing some terminology confusion here. In InDesign, the Assignments panel lists Assignments and (linked) Stories. Assignments are filetypes that only InDesign can create and only InCopy can open. Stories … linked ICML files .. may be associated with an Assignment, or they may be “free agents” and appear in the Unassigned InCopy Content panel. I assume you mean you checked out the linked InCopy stories in the layout, and some/all/none may be part of an Assignment.So I’m wondering why you checked out the stories in InDesign. The only reason to do would be if you wanted to edit the text in them. There’s no need to check out the stories if you want to just move them around or adjust their frames. It’s if you want to edit the contents, the text .. is that what you did? Or you may believe that’s part of the workflow, that InDesign users need to check out the InCopy stories when they work on a layout.
Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberhow do you know there are pages missing? Are you exporting to Fixed Layout (not Reflowable)?

Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberhi Jake!
You can include a link to screen shots you host elsewhere, like dropbox, cloudapp, etc.
I don’t think any sort of ebook will work in this case. If your app can be created entirely in HTML5 and Javascript and bundled in the ebook, it’s possible, but not sure which ereaders would support that level of interactivity. They have trouble with animations that fly in from off off the page. ;-)
You may be looking at an app.
I’d investigate ajarproductions.com plug-in In5, which straddles the InDesign > HTML5 publication > (optional) app quite nicely.

Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberSorry, I can’t replicate the problem. I’ll assume you’re setting the export to EPUB 3.01 (not EPUB 2).
Corner effects on image frames are maintained by default. If that’s not true for you, please let us know which version of ID you’re using, and maybe link to a couple screen shots, one of the image in ID and one of the resulting page in the epub. Be sure that in the EPUB Export Options dialog box you’ve selected Preserve Appearance from Layout, which is turned on by default.
If you’re talking about a stand-alone text frame, rounded corners are supported automatically, which is pretty cool. For other corner effects, you’ll have to rasterize it (convert it to a graphic) to maintain the effect. In recent versions of ID (I think CS6 and later) you can select the frame that has the corner effects and choose Object > Object Export Options and set it to rasterize container on export.
hope this helps!
