  1. I just ran into this edit-linked-file-within-publisher issue, and fortunately this issue was already acknowledged here. Adding my two cents, Publisher is already maintaining changes made within Publisher (via StudioLink) to a linked document, so the issue seems to be solely with how Publisher's interface incorrectly reflects the updated status of the document to the user and does not break the link to the previous external document. For example, with a linked vector PDF, when you double-click on the document to edit it, the new document tab is titled "Embedded." This "feels" correct since I'm beginning to make changes to a linked document and these changes have to be stored somewhere, so it makes perfect sense that my linked document will become embedded and my changes will be stored within the newly embedded document. Of course it would be good to alert the user to this change when beginning to edit the linked document from within Publisher. However, after making the changes, the resource manager still lists the changed document as linked, and any external changes to the linked document will overwrite the changes made internally within Publisher. The changes are not "safe" because the link to the external document is maintained and it seems to take priority over the changes I made internally within Publisher. So if I choose to embed the linked document from the resource manager, it embeds the content from the linked document and not the changes that I made within Publisher. To work around this issue when I inadvertently make a change without remembering this issue/bug, I found that I can double-click to edit the document within Publisher, copy my changed graphics, switch to the resource manager and embed the document, then edit it again from within Publisher and paste my changes back into the embedded version.
