Hi! File indd_1 is linked to the indd_2 file that’s more than 100 pages. Please advise me how to automatically configure the visibility of layers in the all linked indd_2 pages retaining visibility preferences from its last saved state?

      Common assets are organised in a way. One is a file with assets that can be worked on by different team members.

      • Make different single layer files and replace them instead making layers visible. That is much easier and will cause less errors.
      • Or export PDF/X-4 with desired visible layers and place those instead of the INDD files.
