ExCoP (External Content Panel) Settings
The ExCoP settings control how the connector checks and manages assets used in your document.
PPI Check
You can enable a minimum PPI check to receive a warning when an image’s effective resolution is below a defined value.
If an image does not meet the required resolution, the asset will be marked with a red indicator in the ExCoP panel.
Automatic Status Checks
Choose how often the connector should check the status of assets in your document.
You can set the interval between 5 and 120 minutes.
Warning for Locally Modified Files
Enable this option to receive a warning when an asset used in your document has been modified locally and may differ from the version stored in your DAM or cloud storage.
Recommended InDesign Settings
You can enable Recommended InDesign Settings to apply default settings suggested by the CI HUB Connector for better compatibility.
Disable Link Check
If enabled, the connector will skip link checks when opening an InDesign document, which can speed up the document loading time.
Multi-Page Thumbnail Support
When this option is enabled, you can navigate through multi-page documents using arrow keys in the CI HUB tile view (if supported by your source system).
