.ICML is InCopy Document

InDesign users can link a subset of an INDD file to one or more ICML files and grant editing permissions to them using an .ICMA assignment file. Once the ICML files are edited, the InDesign document can be automatically updated with the new content.

Users typically do not directly open ICML files that are linked to an ICMA assignment file. When users "edit" an ICMA assignment file, they are actually modifying ICML files behind the scenes using InCopy.

NOTE: ICML files are used by InDesign and InCopy CS4 and later. The CS3 version used the .INCX extension.
