You can configure the Edit Files action to prevent the users from copying nested reference files automatically. To do this, you must configure the EditCurrentDocFiles and EditWorkingDocFiles methods in the EditFiles client API. By default, the behavior of the Edit Files action is to download master file and copy files referenced by it, along with its nested reference files.
