When sharing an InDesign document, is there a way to simply notate a page that it has been proofread or edited?  That is so everyone on the team knows what has been done.  Thanks.

One idea:

Pages in the Pages panel can be color-coded to indicate status

Another idea: 

Make a "Notes" layer (set to non-printing) where you can write visible messages.

The color label notion is probably the technical-best for flagging pages as either complete or needing attention. I wonder if key assignments can be used with those? [ETA: can't find any hooks. Possibly with scripting...]
