Share for Review Link Not Updating in Adobe InDesign for Brochure Files

I frequently create brochures, and at some point in the project without fail the share for review link stops allowing me to update content. The review links are an integral part of our workflow, and for my non-brochure work they are fine (although I have to update those less frequently), but with my brochure documents it will allow me to create a new link, but after that I can no longer publish any changes. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign, turned off and on countless times, ensured the document I’m updating is the only one open, packaged then opened the idml and re-saved the document to indd. It just doesn’t work, and it’s really frustrating to explain to our clients that their comments have gone because we had to make a new link (or they get confused, comment on an old link and we don’t make the updates). Any ideas?

    Hi ​@katie_0825,

     

    I’m sorry to hear how frustrating this has been, especially since Share for Review is such an important part of your workflow and it’s impacting your client communication.

    To help me look into this further, could you please confirm the exact InDesign version and your operating system details? Also, does this behavior happen only with larger brochure files, or do you see it with shorter and simpler documents as well? If you have noticed any specific pattern, like it happening after a certain number of updates or file size, please do share that too.

    If possible, it would be very helpful if you could share a sample file where this issue occurs so we can test it on our end. If the file is confidential, you can send it via DM or use a secure cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox. Before sharing, please package the file using these steps so all related assets are included: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/preflighting-files-handoff.html#package_files

    In the meantime, I’d also recommend trying the steps in this help article and letting me know if they make any difference: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/resolve-share-for-review.html

    Once I have these details, I’ll be happy to take this further with the team.

     

    Looking forward to your update.

    Abhishek
