Questions

We are working in Indesign 2024 on a serverbased solution with clients working in Incopy.Some of our clients have updated to Incopy 2025, and we are wondering if that will be okay, or is it still important to use same versions of Indesign and Incopy?

 Does any one else ever have this issue? It does not happen to all pages, only a few every now and then.  After setting things up in Indesign and sending over to Incopy for Editors, sometimes content misaligns on a handful of pages. Not all of them, just a few sometimes. On some pages the guides become misaligned as well. The misalignment seems to be consistent with the amount of offset of the misalignment between the pages it happens on. Any idea where this could be coming from? No items are associated with any object styles so positioning rules are not a concern.    

Hello,I've been having the issue with Incopy files (assignments) not updating in Indesign documents.Indesign layouts and assignments live on Onedrive. After my collegues make changes and I open the layout on my end I can see design changes in Indesign, but I can't see changes to the text files (Incopy assignemenst). For some reason Indesign file syncs properly but Incopy files don't sync at all.I've updated all apps to the latest 20.0, cleared cache and updet OS tp 15.1 and but the problem still persists.I am the only person on the team of 5 who has the sync issues with Incopy files.Any ideas about what might be causing it?

Adobe seems to planing til abolish InCopy. In InDesign beta 20.1 the useless "Share for Review" has been renamed "InCopy for web" and all IcCopy functions are are gone. No Assignments panel, no nothing. What can be done to stop this from happening?

I effectively cannot make use of InCopy because my clients of course do not have it.I need a workflow where the document copy is saved in InCopy files, and these can then be edited – minor text edits is all we need – by e.g. a third party translator, client editorial staff, etc.The ideal workflow would be a built in "upload for editing" feature similar to Acrobat's upload for commenting feature. Adobe needn't see this as giving free access to InCopy to other users. The other users should only have the most basic access to edit just the text itself for a specifically shared ICML file. What options do I have, and if there are none, id there another software that can achive this same concept?

I'm using InDesign, and assigning InCopy assignments so that my teammates can make their edits in InCopy. They do not have InDesign. Multiple times, on various proposals (not all the same one) I've created assignments of the documents I need edited. When I go into the assignments folder there is suddenly a duplicate of each file with an updated file name. This time there was a dash and a 1 added to the end of each file name (-1). This causes great confusion when my team goes into edit files because they do not know which one to choose. I only happens sometimes, and not all the time. I'm guessing that I am doing something in InDesign that is telling the program to save an updated version of all of the assignments, but have no idea what that might be. Here is an example of what's happening: Original file name: Hanson Lake for Copper Creek 2 DMNew file name: Hanson Lake FOR Copper Creek 2 DM-1Today I also found a new file that said "conflict." My original file name was: Cover Copper Creek

Ma question est la suivante : j'ai toutes les applications Adobe, et je suis en train d'écrire mon livre dans un format A5. Pas besoin de mettre de photos.Premièrement, je commence avec InDesign 2024 et je commence à avoir beaucoup de pages, plus de cent en ce moment.J'ai essayé avec InCopy 2024, mais j'ai un peu de mal à créer un "gabarit" qui me convienne.C'est un format A5, et je souhaite simplement avoir des pages en vis-à-vis, avec en haut à gauche le nom de mon livre, en haut à droite, le nom de mon chapitre et ajouter en bas de page le numéro de la page actuelle.Je perds du temps avec InDesign 2024, je vous demande simplement un gabarit à n'importe quel format, mais qui gère tout le contenu de mon livre.Merci à vous tous de m'aider.Cordialement, Stéphane LEGRAND.

Hello,I work in a group that has been using the Incopy Workflow for a little over three years. We've had great success with templated flyers, letters and reports for our multi-departmental clients as they are able to edit on their own with little supervision from our design team until we facilitate print production.Within the past 6 months we've been running into issues where the Incopy users have to manually update the content (in the assignments panel) every time they launch the Indd file in Incopy. The change in workflow has prompted a lot of panic in our users (that their original work was not saved the last time they used the program — the view of the file defaults to the last time the file was saved in InDesign) and this has taken a lot of time away from their typical Incopy workflow. It has also led to collaboration issues, as the collaborators will not necessarily see the revised changes their peers have done (because it defaults to the stage of when the Indd was last saved in

InCopy: upload InCopy document to Creative Cloud ... linked to InDesign document ... How?

Hi!I just changed my Macbook Pro, and installed inCopy 2020 (15.1.2) which I used in my old Macbook. The problem is that the text cursor disappeared from inCopy. I've tried to erase the incopy preferences, but it didn't work.I'm using:MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)Chip Apple M18GBmacOS Big Sur 11.4

I need to share incopy files with a client and be able to work in the same space but I don't seem to be able to access the files that I have copied up to one drive on my mac. Am I missing something or is it only workable through dropbox?

Can I do Superscript and subscript in InCopy?

Hello everyone, I'm having an issue on my InCopy 2021. Whene someone assign me a document with InDesign (this is also the 2021 version), and I try to write on it, when i exceed the text block limit by writing more, it creates a blank page. Is there something I can do to avoid this behaviour? I remember some time ago it used to show an icon telling me that i've exceeded and i could modify my text in the draft view.   I'm using WoodWing to access documents on the server and so my InDesign-collegues do.   Thanks in advance for the answers and sorry for my maccheroni-english     <Title renamed by MOD>

I'm working on a volume with LOTS of changes, and would like to work in a text-only-ish environment.However, it seems the only zoomable view is Layout, which defeats the purpose.I think I'm just missing it, but how do we zoom (or just make the type larger) in the Galley and Story views? thanks!

Our editors open up .indd layout files using InCopy to edit stories on a local NAS. We've been doing this for years and since updating to IC 19.5 (Mac), some users are experiencing a missing layout view when they open some .indd files. A workaround is to open a different layout, close it and then open the faulty file again. This trick seems to bring the layout view back to the original file, but it's still very frustrating and doesn't consistently work. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or know what could be causing it? The users experiencing the problem are using Sonoma.

  Some years back I saved some pdfs to usb drive from my work computer -- the files saved and displayed as pdfs.  Now, when I try to access the files on my various Windows computers at home, file explorer shows those files with .pdf.xml suffix instead of .pdf.  The files were originally saved as pdfs.  I cannot open these files despite trying to use Adobe Acrobat, various Windows browsers (Chrome, etc).  I have tried renaming the files to .pdf, eliminating the .xml suffix.  I have tried opening the files in Word.  Nothing works.

Just wondering. I need InCopy for a project, and Adobe Portfolio would be a nice perk. 

Why do I get so many links?How can I get just one link to one incopy file??

Good morning everyone. I would like to introduce the use of InCopy in our company. However, the editorial team is also made up of other external resources, who we do not want to ask to download Adobe onto their computers. My question is whether it is possible to use InCopy via web browser, without installing anything. Thank you

Our InDesign users are all on MACs.  They are using ALL Adobe activated fonts.  Our InCopy users are all on PC's.  They activate the exact same fonts as the InDesign users.   Whenever our InDesign users select a Font that already exists as part of the Windows OS, InCopy reports it as a missing font.  We cannot remove the font from windows.   How can we FORCE InCopy to see the Adobe activated Fonts?   We have the preference set to Enable Adobe Fonts.  The ONLY way the font works is if we REMOVE it from the Windows Fonts folder - we cannot do that or Windows applications will break.   I was on a chat with Adobe for three hours and they had no solution.  They just kept having me activate and reactivate the Font.  Then they said the InDesign font was wrong, but it was not.  Any help would be appreciated.  

Had something weird happen for the first time tonight. Our designer, working in inDesign, notices entire sections of text were missing from his file. Seemingly randomly, we can't quite figure out why some are gone and others arent. When I open the .indd file in inCopy, I see the same thing, whether I'm looking in Layout Story or Galley views—The text frames and assignments still exist, but random assignments are just blank, with no text at all. But when I close the .indd file and open either the .icma file or the .icml file for the supposedly blank assignment, all the copy is still there. Anyone have any idea whats going on? I'm thankful the copy still exists somewhere but we're really hoping we don't need to redesign it all. 

I'm seem to be having a strange issue in InCopy when I try to open PB covers. Instead of showing me the Cover in "layout" view, it shows me four blank pages. And this is the ICMA file that I opened. Btw, Im also accessing the file through a VPN server not sure if that is related to the issue. Thanks in advance

Hallo zusammen,die Verknüpfung zur bestehenden Aufgabendatei fehlt häufig in InDesign, obwohl der Pfad stimmt. Wie kann ich die Verknüpfung aktualisieren ohne die Aufgabe zu ersetzen, denn unter Umständen haben Kollegen daran schon gearbeitet und Änderungen durchgeführt.

Hi,i´m curently working at a very small company and try to implement an Indesign-InCopy workflow.So far it works fine but changes i make to an Indesign Document are not reflected in the InCopy file. Example: After the intial creation of the icma file i add a couple of textframes to an allready existing task in InCopy.Indesign asks if i want to export the new settings, i want.Opening Incop the newly added textframes are not available to the editor. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, I have been having an issue with InCopy creating overflow where it shouldn't be. For example, if I check out a text box with 5 lines and delete a word, the last two lines disappear and I am not able to write more than 3 lines. When opening the file on other computers, every line is visible. But then once I go back to my computer the lines disappear again. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling InCopy, but the issue persisted.
