I have an upcoming project, laying out a long book with photos, sidebars, text formatting, etc. Would InCopy work for this, JUST for editorial stuff? Last book I did, it was insane w/ edits via email and word, over the phone, etc.

Your videos showcasing InDesign/InCopy workflows are so well produced. Thanks for putting this out into the world. Hoping to get my teams using InCopy soon. I know it'll save us so much time over the PDF-driven editing process we use now.

hi! is there a 'suggested editing' feature to track changes?

What would be the purpose of unlinking the text at the end?

Hi! I've recently started writing my first novel. I'm a graphic designer - I have a CC account, and know InDesign pretty much inside out. So, is there an advantage to using InCopy (as an author) verse using InDesign? I've never used InCopy... does it spell and grammar check on the fly like MS Word?

Great overview. Thank you!

Thank you so much for explaining this so clearly.

Great video! Please can you let me know what happens when linked text frames are checked out to InCopy? Can you check out an entire story that's linked across multiple pages?

who else is thinking of getting the incopy subscription just to keep their portfolio site up

So useful, simple and visually clear to have most of what is narrated in writing to make the video even more comprehensible. I'm sharing this video with potential Id/Ic workflow users.

My hunch is just that using InCopy to InDesign is slightly less painful (due to ASCI character mapping glitches, etc.) than Google Docs to InDesign. Google Docs you can share with an unlimited # of people to collaborate, whereas with InCopy, they all have to have a CC license (convenient, Adobe ...). This to me is a barrier to productivity and not economically worthwhile.

Cómo autor...

It means that for such a work flow, Indesign- InCopy requires to have a two Adobe license?

This is insane that such a crazy workflow (and multiple roles, programs) is needed to complete a fairly basic task. Adobe in a nutshell lol

My biggest lingering question after watching this video (and trying the InDesign/InCopy workflow), is HOW do I save the INDD and InCopy file in a single place in the cloud? You suggest Dropbox, but that would still require the editors to download the file to their computer, which breaks the link to the primary INDD file. SharePoint does not support opening Adobe products (they must be downloaded), and Adobe Cloud itself does not support opening InDesign or InCopy in the cloud. So the only solution I can find is to package the InCopy files, send them out to each editor, and then have them send them back, so that I can relink them. But this is very laborious and breaks the links to multiple people who could indeed be editing at the same time. Am I missing something here? Thanks for any feedback you have!

Can't believe this channel is 2 years old and has only 6 videos. Whoever the creative team is - amazing job with this and please give us more!

Fantastic Explanation. Thank you!

Well, that was thorough, clear, informative and useful. 10 minutes well spent - thanks!

Holy shit, can you delete this video? The resolution of screen capture is horrible. thx. Again, and better.

What a fantastic overview! Thank you very much, Design Dept 👏

Really great summary, shared with clients 😊. Thanks Design Dept!

Thank you! This was just the information I was looking for.

Really nice overview. Thank you.

Question: which is better to do all work in Word and transfer to ID or do it in IC Adobe and then transfer? thank you

Too bad we cant use creative cloud storage for syncing InCopy And InDesign and should have our own cloud. That would solve the problem of simultanious edits of InCopy file by editors team.

Thank you so much! My company is moving into an InCopy workflow with a new project and it sounds absolutely fabulous! Thank you for this video, it has really explained things simply. No more editorial pdfs marked up with 700 comments! They can edit the thing directly:) Wooo hoo!

As an editor, I work on pdf only. I have comments coming from author for further edits at the proof stage. How does InCopy handle pdfs? Acrobat Reader is painful to work with. If a pdf has around 600+ edits to be done, Acrobat just slows down to a crawl. Please again bear in mind this is pdf.

I can't so your Indesign interface, very small :(

Author, for technical, accdemic work.?

Eina, Beautiful typography. ♥.♥

Are you a kiwi living in AU? Love the simplicity of your video tutorials 👌🏽

As a designer this helped a lot!!

Thank you for this Video! 👍

I really like how you use fonts in your video. Nice!

Could you please to say what program do you use for creating video?

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I appreciate your work! Useful tips :)

Excellent Tutorial! I never thought of using this for Socials. I'll give it a go. The best thing is it's easy for clients after creating their branding.

This deserves way more views. Great tutorial!

I have subscribed. So, a new author can use incopy to write through to publication? I appreciate you.

Thanks from Colombia. Very useful

good video, workflow top description, but horrible pronunciation

Hello again! I’m having trouble replying to comments I’m getting about this tutorial! I get notifications about the message but it doesn’t appear beneath the video so I can’t reply! If anyone knows how to fix this I’d be grateful! Sorry Sampletear, this response is a bit late... Original message sampletear Thank you so much for the nice video! I have one Problem: I created the InDesign file and made an assignment. The Editor is writing inside the assignment, not the InDesign file, because the InDesign file is local. I added new elements to the InDesign file and inked them to the assignment as well. But the updates will not show in the assignment. Do you maybe know what is wrong? Thanks if you find time to answer! Response: Hello! I’m so glad you found my video helpful. Without actually being able to see the files in question I'm going to have to make a few assumptions. Firstly, when InDesign creates an ‘assignment’ it produces a .icma file that it automatically adds into an ‘assignments’ folder alongside the InDesign document. When your editor is working on that .icma file using InCopy and not through InDesign you, as the designer will not get a warning that it has been checked out. Once the editor has checked that assignment back in at their end you will then get the yellow hazard triangle saying you need to update the file. Much like what happens if you edit an image outside of Indesign - you need to update the link. Now if you are creating new assignments (so new text boxes) and adding them to InCopy you should get the option to add them to the existing assignment (Indesign default name is ‘Assignment 1’). If you add the new assignments and DON’T assign a location then Indesign will put them into a folder called “Unassigned InCopy Content” in the Assignments tab. You can drag them to the master assignment folder (The default “Assignment 1”) you originally set up within the Assignments tab. You’ll not be able to add text to an existing assignment if someone else has it checked out. Your changes will be overridden once the assignment is checked back in.

Hello! I’m having trouble replying to comments I’m getting about this tutorial! I get notifications about the message but it doesn’t appear beneath the video so I can’t reply! If anyone knows how to fix this I’d be grateful! Original Message: Manuel Perez Hello, I have a question. I'm a graphic designer. I love working with InDesign but still learning the tricks. I currently working on a large project with different editors and I thought this would be a great opportunity to learn InCopy. Although my team prefers to work with MS Word, I'm interested in learning on my own this workflow. This part confuses me: in minute 07:14 the VO says "While you have the document checked out no one else can edit it" but then in minute 07:25 the VO says "Multiple people can have the document open and be working on separate areas". Can someone explain to me how would this work? Is it that two-or-more-people have the document open in their computer, yet only one at a time can check-out the text box, or the entire document while everyone else only reads and waits for the text box/document to be checked back in?; or is each person able to check out a different text box? Response: Hey Manuel, Thanks for taking the time to watch my tutorial. Sorry for the confusion, let me clarify! When you add a text box into InCopy (creating an assignment) it makes one ‘assignment’ per text box. If you had a novel for example that was one continuous text tread, you would only have one assignment that only one person would be able to check out and edit it. Everyone else would still be able to open and view the InDesign file through InCopy but not edit the exact assignment (text box including its thread) that someone else has checked out. If you are working on a publication such as a magazine for example, it would be more likely that each article would have its own text tread. So one person could have the article on page 2 checked out while someone else could have a different article on page 6 checked out at the same time. Different people can edit separate assignments in the same document at the same time! I hope that helps. All the best with implementing an InCopy workflow!
