InCopy is an all-in-one word processor created by Adobe. It incorporates with Adobe Photoshop and allows users create PDF documents using standard word processing features, as. The problem: InCopy users can't edit any text in an InDesign layout until the designer has explicitly selected the text frames the editors need to work on and exported them to InCopy format. But InDesign's 'Export All Stories to InCopy' (seems like a logical choice, no?) exports every text frame on the master pages as well as the document pages to InCopy format.

Incopy Plugin For Indesign
If you are sure that you want to sever the link between InCopy and InDesign, and do all further editing of all stories in InDesign, you can just go to the Links panel, and select any .icml, .icma, or .incx files you find there (the file types vary depending on your version of InDesign/InCopy). Then just choose Unlink from the Links panel menu.
