InDesing/InCopy workflow - PREFLIGHT-ERROR

Hello support community, 
today we had an unpleasant experience in the editorial office. 
We graphic designers work with InDesing CS6, the editors with InCopy CS6, 
our editorial-pint-system is K4 (which can only process CS6)

All editors received the following error message in InCopy when checking their articles: 
Missing add-on modules. File cannot be opened
PACKAGE AND PREFLIGHT.APLN

We are working for the first time with preflight settings which we have embedded in our templates. 
All documents work beautifully with the new settings via InDesing. 
All attempts to work on it with InCopy fail. InCopy CS6 doesn't seem to have a folder 
for storing the PreflightSettings - copying them to the folder structure from InDesing to InCopy 
doesn't do anything either

Anyone know advice?

Greetings Andreas

We did. It can be set in K4 that missing plugins are noted, but the opening of the files should still be allowed.
Its working again. However, I cannot understand why InDesign preflight settings lead to an error in InCopy.
We will continue testing in the middle of the week, now it's time for the end of the day and tomorrow the production of the current issue will be announced.
Thank you for your feedback Bob 🙂

Often, mostd plugins working in InDesign should work in InCopy. Try to copy the working plugin from InDesign to the InCopy place. I did often expand InDesign with copying even core plugins from one application to the other and it was running fine, but it must be the same version.
