Opening, let alone saving, an .INDDL locally is sluggish and problematic
I’m having a tough time with a "Share for Edit" (i.e., "InCopy for the web") document. It is sluggish to open from InDesign (MacOS, 21.1), and I see the "spinning beach ball" far too often, and for far too long even when trying to do simple things, like scroll. The document isn't particularly challenging—text only, no graphics, maybe 100 pages.
While I can "see” the document through the browser, opening it in InDesign seems to be a nonstarter. As if there is some sort of handshake or timeout problem with the server. Force Quit, try again. Repeat. Sometimes I can get the document to open, but thus far, after several dozen tries, no luck saving it locally (i.e., back as .INDD) so I can actually use the document.
Adobe doesn't seem to give us any option for directly downloading the .INDDL. My editor spent a lot of time updating that document (despite all the hassles of "InCopy for the web"), and I would hate to lose all the changes she made.
Does anyone have any other tips?
