Hallo zusammen,

ich arbeite mit Windows 11, InDesign 20.3.1 x64

Mein Projekt ist ein InDesign-Buch (.indb) mit 22 Dateien (.indd) und ca. 300 verknüpften Foto- und Grafikdateien in verschiedenen Formaten. Das Buch enthält Inhaltsverzeichnis, Indexverzeichnis, Abbildungsverzeichnis, Tabellenverzeichnis, alles automatisiert. Größe Gesamtpaket knapp ein GB lokal gespeichert.
Nun soll das Projekt in die Cloud hochgeladen werden, damit mehrere Personen daran arbeiten können.
Gibt es eine Möglichkeit das Gesamtpaket hochzuladen, ohne dass die ganzen Verknüpfungen neu angelegt werden müssen.
Leider habe ich nur falsche oder keine Beschreibungen dazu gefunden und hoffe auf Eure Expertise.

Did you try packaging the book? It will collect all the InDesign files (possibly reducing the file size during re-writing), copy all the graphics, and relink to the new files. Turn off the circled items to save time unless you need them.

IMPORTANT: This _copies_ the files--not move them--so you will still have the originals on your system. It's best to remove them or archive them so you won't accidently open the wrong files.

Another note--have you looked into InCopy for the others to edit the InDesign files? If a document contains multiple text flows (stories), multiple people can edit the same file. It is available by itself and is less expensive than the entire Creative Cloud. (No idea how much it would cost for your location, but in the USA, it costs $5 per month.)

Can you delegate separate tasks to specific people?

Some will be allowed to edit "everything", some to change layout - others only edit texts.

Then it will be nightmare - or even worse - WITHOUT close communication.

Depends if others will work on the same platform - Windows / PC.

Then, you could use Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc - to keep everything synchronised.

BUT - you still won't be able to edit the same INDD file - at the same time.

Technically - you will - but edits won't get synchronised - so you'll have to make sure, that only one person at a time will work on a specific INDD file.

But - you could used InCopy for editing text.

If you want to involve Mac users - it most like will result with links being flagged as needing to be updated, every time you switch platforms.

Gleichzeitig wollen wir nicht an den gleichen Dateien arbeiten, zeitversetzt schon.

Bedeutet Ihre Antwort, dass es keine Möglichkeit gibt, das komplette InDesignprojekt mit Fotos und der gesamten Funktionalität (da stecken viele Stunden Arbeit drin) in der Adobe Creative Cloud zu speichern und von dort aus zu bearbeiten?

As all files will be stored locally - and you'll be working on those local copies - there is no way to later "merge" changes from different copies of the same file.

At least not the automatic / built-in way.

So you'll have to create some kind of scheduling - make sure that only one person works on a particular INDD files, then, when he / she has done editing - that person HAVE TO make sure to synchronise this INDD file with your cloud service.

Then, before someone wants to edit anything - that person needs to make sure that no one else is working on the same files - INDD or links - and synchronise with the server - to be sure that he / she is working on the latest version of the file(s).
