How Dynamic Updating is influenced by search modes in Studio for InDesign and InCopy

The Dynamic Update feature of the Studio panel in Studio for InDesign and InCopy makes sure that the panel is updated as soon as a change occurs such as a new file being added or removed or when the properties of a file are changed.

These changes are also reflected in the way the file is shown in the Studio panel:

• New files are added in bold
• Files for which the properties have changed are displayed in italic
• Files that are moved to the Trash Can are grayed-out.

Note: All files are displayed normally as soon as the panel is updated.
