Help with InCopy/InDesign Track Changes

Hello, we will be starting to work with InCopy with our team. The way I am going to work with my team is, I, the designer, will be creating the file. Then I am saving the stories on a server we all have access. Then reviewers will open the InDesign file in InCopy, make their edits, and then I will be applying them on InDesign. The only thing right now is not working for me is the Track Changes panel.

 

I have these questions if someone can please help me:

- Do we have to select "Track Changes" in InCopy everytime we check out and edit a text box? 

- When I open the file on InDesing, I have the Track Changes panel, but can't use any of the tools (to move to next change, to accept...) So I only can update when I go to links and update the link (icml)

I appreciate any suggestions

    yes, when I made the edit on InCopy I check out the text box and then check in all. Always the enable track changes in both InCopy and InDesign are grey and not abe to select it. 


    Place your text cursor in one of the stories and open the track changes panel. Then open the panel menu and select Enable Tracking in All Stories.

    Track changes need to be enabled. They are off by default.

    Thanks for your response. I am now on InDesign, and on the Track Changes menu, all the options are grayed and can't select them. What I am missing?
