Publish Online (Preview) is a technology preview feature that is available in English versions of InDesign CC 2015. The feature lets you effortlessly publish InDesign documents online. These documents can then be viewed with full fidelity in a desktop or tablet web browser with a delightful viewing experience, and without requiring a plug-in. If a richer document experience is desired, you can add buttons, slideshows, animation, audio, and video using the interactive authoring features of InDesign before publishing the document online.

The published document is intended to be a digital version of an InDesign document that will simply work on all devices that support a web browser. You can email the published document URL or simply share it on Facebook.

Try publishing a finished document by clicking the Publish Online button on the Application Bar or you can also choose File -> Publish Online (Preview)..To access or manage all your published documents, choose File -> Web Dashboard..For more details, see online help.

After trying it out, please give us feedback on the feature by filling this survey - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PublishOnline_Survey

Hi this is a great feature but I would like to know if the published documents are searchable? I'm using it for a client to show unfinished work so they wouldn't want this to be seen by anybody but themselves.

Is there any way to password protect a published document?

I would also like to know how to sync the changes in an already published document?

Thanks

In a new version of InDesign due very soon, Publish Online will be updated: Among many new features, it will allow the creation and download of a PDF file which can be searched and printed.

There is no way to password protect the published document, but it's not stored on a public website and could not be downloaded unless you had the customized URL.

Use the CC App to update InDesign to the latest version. That sounds like a problem in CC 2015.0 (June release). It was fixed in CC 2015.1 (August release).

I am trying to publish online and I keep getting a box telling me I need to sign in to creative cloud. I am signed in and have cleared and resynched my settings but I'm still getting the error. Can you help?

From the Creative Cloud app > [gear icon] > Preferences sign out from your Adobe ID and sign in again. Often that fixes "problems".

Hi,

I notice that an Analytics panel on the Web Dashboard has appeared. This is a welcome addition.

Are there any plans for these analytics to become per issue (or at least query that way) instead of all published issues.

Thanks,

Glenn

The display jumps while previewing the published doc, so clients get frustrated and don't want to use it.

Tried it and like it so far.

Errors: If you don't have an object (set as a hyperlink) moved to top most layer and it's overlapped with copy-some people are missing the hyperlink. curser doesn't change until portion of the object that's not covered with text appears.

Error: animation previews fine but after it's published the animation plays but objects bounce into place. Every object with an animation completes the motion then appears to "snap" to an invisible grid line or something.

Question: We found an editing error in our publication after it was published. Is there anyway to edit the file and keep the same url it was assigned the first time we published it online?

Looking forward to updates.

I submitted the survey monkey but just thought about something else, it would be nice if you could add a notes section where notes could be added and collaborated back to the original author. I use this feature to send previews of documents we are having printed, instead of sending pdfs.. we have people who think office max and an offset press are the same quality.. They sometimes need changes it would be great if they could mark the document up via the web. That way they don't have to have Adobe Acrobat to Mark it up. It would also be a great idea for graphic design firms working with outside clients.

Hello, does anyone have the solution to the "reverse on roll off" button not working? Please see here: https://indd.adobe.com/view/e25a29cc-181a-4444-a859-274394d843d4

This will preview correctly when using the key command <cmmd + shift + enter> and shows up as a swf preview. It will not preview correctly as shown using the "publish online" button or the menu item under "file".

thank you.

Hi, I'm trying to use Online Publish in InDesign 2015 (CC). I have a one page document with 'digital publishing' as intend. Uploading to Publish Online seems to work with all default settings, however, when I click the Show Document button (or use the URL provided), the result is "Document not Found - The document you requested does not exist. Please check the link used to make sure it's accurate." https://indd.adobe.com/view/02f9db2f-b3fa-41e9-be47-88391fa7b252?ref=ide

Also, my web dashboard and recent publications remain empty. What am I doing wrong?
