Can the main ID document "follow" story editor?

Hi @turner111 , Not sure if this helps, but a script could replicate the Story Editor’s selection in the active document. Haven’t tested this much, but seems to work—you could assign it a key command and run it after your edit:

//the active story window
var sw = app.activeWindow;

//the selection index range
var si = sw.selection[0].insertionPoints[0];
var ei = sw.selection[0].insertionPoints[-1];

//activate the story’s parent document’s window
app.activeWindow = sw.parent.layoutWindows[0];

//select the text range in the active story
var ps = app.activeDocument.selection[0].parentStory;
app.select(ps.textStyleRanges.itemByRange(si,ei), SelectionOptions.replaceWith)

//go to the selection‘s page
app.activeWindow.activePage=app.activeDocument.selection[0].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage; 

//back to the story window
app.activeWindow = sw;

I think you need to explain what you mean. What does it mean that the Story Editor window be followed by the main layout view window? I don't get it.
