InDesign Share for Review links not working

[AFrack]

Anyone else having issue with InDesign review links not working today? I have sent out a few and reviewers are getting this message. Other programs seem to be working fine.

@Abhishek Rao The 404 error is gone again, but the tools for text corrections and highlighting are still missing, as are the connections between the comments that should be linked to text. Selecting a comment that was linked to text does take you to the right page/spread, but it does not show what part of the text it refers to.

I'm experiencing the exact same thing.

I have not been able to get my InDesign Share for review links to work since Friday, Oct 6. When I click on the thumbnail it returns an Error 404: Asset not found.

Also, where did the text markups go in the review panel? You used to be able to add strike through text and replace text comments. Now it looks like you can only add a pin and hand draw shapes for comments.

Yep, my review links aren't working again now either

[MattheausG]

Yep, everyone getting 404 again within the last hour!
This is really testing my patience...

[Umesh_Patel1687]

yep, was working for a while with the stripped back tools, but now getting 404 messages as of this afternoon. This is not a good look when you are trying to complete projects for clients on approaching deadlines.

How has this not been resolved yet? THis is a major issue I have files out for review with clients and they can't view. You guys need to fix this asap.

[heidsterrrr]

Yesterday pins weren't working and now today all links are broken ("Error 404: Asset not found") ... Any updates?

[NOcreationsBE]

Hi fellow designers, 

FYI: For those of you who are not aware of the alternative option to let clients review a document online: you can create a pdf of your document and use the 'Share a link to this file' option in Acrobat.

The UI is different, but offers almost the same review tools as the S4R function in InDesign. The biggest downside is that you can not update the online document after processing the feedback (as far as I know: please correct me if I am wrong!), so you will need to create a new one with a new link for every update. But it is better than nothing.

Good luck and keep your spirits up! 🤞😉

[MattheausG]

Thanks @NOcreationsBE, we have had to resort to this using this in this interim period. It is not ideal but is serving a purpose

[NOcreationsBE]

Yes, I had to do this also @MattheausG, good you knew about it. I did not mention it earlier, thinking the problem would be resolved in a few hours or at least 2 days, but it is not and seeing all the frustrated and rather panicked reactions, I thought it would be better to mention it, just in case some of us didn't know. ️😱

I am having the same issue today with the same error, urgently need the comments from my collaborators back to meet a deadline. Very disappointed in this service so far, it's come with lots of bugs!

[dlane.miami]

I'm having this issue too.

Has it been resolved?

[NOcreationsBE]

@dlane.miami No, sadly enough, not yet. 😓

[Good Venture]

I’m experiencing exactly the same problem — key tools have vanished, and most Share-for-Review links no longer work.

Frankly, it’s unacceptable that this has been going on for over a week with no resolution. Are we to believe that Adobe still considers this a reliable professional design tool, or is the focus now solely on flashy AI features for new users while longtime professionals are left stranded?

[Good Venture]

We’re watching in real time the complete decline of this platform — features breaking, support lagging, and priorities shifting from professional reliability to hype. It’s frustrating to see a once-essential tool being sidelined in favor of short-term trends instead of supporting the designers who built its reputation.

[Laura31936331zwa6]

Someone call Quark—they may be able to build a suite of products before Adobe figures out how to fix this  😄

[Kate32008433n0t1]

🤣 😅

[leslie_5058]

Still having this issue. 

[MattheausG]

@Adobe engineers can this be esculated up to top priority please, I just dont't get a sense that this is being taken that seriously?

[Erik26100638c1xo]

having the same issue in illustrator

[Renee2623229025wf]

Is anyone having the issue with Share for Review links getting 404 page not founf errors today, Tuesday October 7th? It seems to be happening again in Indesign

[Good Venture]

Yes, I'm having the same issue today in InDesign

[Michele S Jennings]

Yes, but in weird ways. Collaborators in San Diego, CA and Pittsburgh, PA can open the links with no errors. However, collaborators in Houston, TX and Gulfport, MS cannot. We've all cleared cache and cookies. Those of us who still get the 404 have also restarted our computers. 4 of us are on Macs—2 can see it; 2 cannot. The one on Windows cannot.
