HOW TO TEXT WRAP IN INDESIGN UPDATE
Take note that adding or removing a layer in the original file will update differently in InDesign. Click the Layers tab and select the layers you want visible by clicking the eye icon. Choose Show Import Options and select ok. Place an image by choosing File>Place and selecting your image or graphic.

Luckily InDesign allows you to import the same layered file while turning off/on different layers. Saving multiple files from those apps can get confusing. The ability to create multiple layered documents in Photoshop and Illustrator allows your designs to look amazing. Any text placed on top of a text wrap will not be affected by the wrap. Enable the Text Wrap Only Affects Text Beneath checkbox and click ok. Choose Edit>Preferences>Composition from the menu bar. Or you can set your InDesign document to only affect text under a wrap. If you have an area of text that overlays a graphic or image with text wrap, you can choose Object>Text Frame Options (command/control+b) and check the Ignore Text Wrap box.
