Is it possible to invite my team members to edit the Adobe Indesign file? I am working on a booklet and I want my team member to work on other sections of the booklet. How can I do that? Please help.

You won't be able to work on it at the same time.

But as others have said - InCopy could work. 

Or making sure only one person makes the edits.

 

And there's a few things that might help if you want to dishout different tasks.

There's Layout Zone

Go Copy

There's Share for Review (I'm personally not sold on this one)

Another option is to have your team submit pdfs of their sections to you and you combine the sections in Acrobat, or InDesign.

Hi @Murugesh25325219gn1o , Assuming all of the collaborators have CC subscriptions, then it would just be a matter of creating a job folder, with all the InDesign files and their assets, in your User>Creative Cloud Files folder. The CCF folder automatically sync’s to your cloud account when there is an internet connection. When you invite other CC users to share the folder, and they  accept the invite, the folder will also sync to their local CCF folders.

 

You do have to have good communication within the group so that no one is working simultaneously on the same InDesign file—otherwise you may get conflicted copies.

Assuming they don't have InDesign have a look at InCopy. Most people circulate PDF proofs.

There was talk last year of a new sharing and editing facility being introduced to InDesign, but there's been no more information mentioned about this.
