InCopy Won't Open Gallery and Story View

One of my team members is attempting to open a .icma file in InCopy and is receiving a pop-up that says: Because the document contains InCopy stories, Gallery View and Story View are not available. They are therefore unable to edit text. However, when I open the file, I am able to edit and access Gallery and Story View. Is there a way to determine what is stopping a team member from accessing the file? 

 

For additional context: One of our other team members creates the InCopy files using InDesign and then we access it from a shared server remotely. We are using the 2023 versions of both programs.

    That is a very specific alert and I have yet to see it displayed incorrectly (you have a typo in your post...the alert is because there is no InCopy content).

     

    Sounds like the InDesign user didn't create this correct and FWIW, for small workgroups I do not recommend using assignments. Just open the INDD file in InCopy but be sure everyone involved has full access to the ICLM files.
