Question

Copy Editor (Beta): Why still Beta?

After five years or so, why is Copy Editor (Beta) still (Beta)? I use it all the time, it’s much better for me than Story Editor. 

My only ask for it would be able to change the typeface size for my old eyes.

    I don’t see Edit in Copy Editor (Beta) menu in the public beta of InDesign 2027. So it looks like this experiment is over.

    Hi @keithconover,


    Thank you for sharing your feedback. It's great to hear that you find Copy Editor useful and prefer it over Story Editor.

    Regarding your question about Copy Editor still being in Beta, we're unable to confirm or share a timeline for its General Availability (GA) at this time.

    As for your request to adjust the font size in Copy Editor, I understand how important this functionality is for better readability, and I apologize that it isn't currently available.

    Would you mind submitting a feature request on our Adobe InDesign UserVoice portal? This will help our product team track and prioritize the request based on community feedback, and you'll be able to follow any updates.

    Please also share the UserVoice link in this thread so other users can upvote and support your suggestion.

    Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help!


    Best,
