Question

Autostyle wokflow cannot be completed

“In design cannot complete the auto-style workflow:- “try again later” This message is driving me up the wall and I'm sure there must be a simple solution. Any help please!

So this happened to me while exporting to Adobe Express from InDesign... and what I guessed was the issue for this problem was 100% accurate.  Our Company uses a firewall and restrict the connection to many sites, and this is what casuses the probles. I'm not sure what servers is Adobe using for Cloud docs/express/AI, but I get the same issue with when using AI in phototshop and may issues with cloud etc when I'm on-site at work. These errors do not appear at home and I'm connected via VPN.

status.adobe.com shows no current Creative Cloud problems so it may be something about the file you're uploading. I'd try something simpler to test.

Might also be a problem with the beta version OP is using?

I just did a test with AutoStyle in InDesign 2024, and it worked fine.

 

While processing the text it give the message "processing in cloud". It uses a form of AI called Sensei to do the processing and it sends it to a server. The message you got ("Try again later") suggests to me there was a temporary problem in accessing the server.

 

Why don't you try it again now.

Sonoma 14.2.1 macbook pro

indesign 24 beta

i have tried it again, and it does the same

importing msword text 120+ pages ...tried selected frames, text, clicked in
the document but the auto-style error message says ' is not able to
complete workflow, and 'try again later' maybe I'm just missing something
simple? something with the cloud perhaps?

thanks for responding. R

Try it on a smaller file and see if you get the same results.

What version of InDesign? What operating system? Full versions, please.

What are you doing when this happens? All files or just one?
