Import and append XML data

When you import XML content, the new elements appear in the Structure pane. From there, you can drag elements to place them in your document.

  1. Open an InDesign document or create a new document to receive the XML content.
  2. Open the Structure pane. (Choose View > Structure > Show Structure, or click the splitter button  at the bottom of the document window.)
  3. Choose File > Import XML (or choose Import XML on the Structure pane menu) and select the XML file you want to import.
  4. Select Show XML Import Options.
  5. Select Append Content, and then click Open.
  6. To link the XML content to the original XML file, select Create Link.

    InDesign will list the XML file in the Links panel and display a yellow alert triangle in the panel if the XML file changes.

  7. Click OK.
