Newspaper Help: Flowing InDesign to InCopy

We are creating our newspaper remotely. We want the designer to be able to place adds and regular columns while I, the editor, place pictures, headlines, and stories at the same time.

I've tried to do this, but my Incopy version is like it's locked. I can't add or edit text, and when I go to place an image, I can't even click on that button. It's just a locked document entirely.

I NEED to be able to do some of those same design elements that our lead production manager is in charge of, but I need to be doing them at the same time, on the same document. Please help!

Button? What do you mean? Through InCopy you can't create any frames. You can only place images to already done frames on the page that isn't restricted to you by InDesign user.

This is possible but the InDesign user must export all of the content to InCopy in order for you to use. You really should get some training even it's something like LinkedIn Learning where you'll find some excellent video courses.
