Is InCopy on death row?

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?

    Perhaps you should think a little bit more about the word "beta" before jumping to an apocalyptic conclusion and trying to whip other other users into a mob.

    Adobe is not sunsetting InCopy. It's an integral part of many publishing workflows. I've been teaching it since before you could even buy InCopy as a standalone application, and, trust me, many, many teams rely on it. InCopy for Web is a different product offering than the installable version of InCopy.

    OK. And why is it that all InCopy support disappears from InDesign beta 20.1 and this horrible InCopy for Web "product offering" appears at the same time? Coincidence you say. 

     

    Or is it because Adobe sees InCopy for Web as an "integral part of many workflows" in the future? We could as well all be using Canva. And some of us teaching it too.
