Questions about this task.
Does placing artwork turn it into editable drawing objects?
Placed artwork stays in its graphic frame. Edit the source artwork in the appropriate application when it needs changing.
What should I check before sharing the project?
Keep the IDML and required linked graphics together, and inspect the links and text before exporting or handing off the layout.
