Hi everybody!
the Bolgpost below states that online copy editing will be released in 2021. It sounds like it could solve a lot of issues with InCopy workflows. I can't find the feature. Is it already released? If not: do you know a planned release date? How is the experience in the Beta?
Adobe support told me in December that the feature will be released January 15th. We had a team ready for testing the feature. If the feature won't be released, we need to invest heavily in server hardware. Please let us know an approximate timeline. Thank you!

I'm afraid that development will take a good deal longer than you were promised by Adobe Support (which seems to be out of the loop). In the MAX announcement in October, it said that release would be "in 2022." It's a new feature which has to go through Alpha and Beta testing before release. Adobe never pre-announced development dates far in advance.

Just looked at the date of the blog post..very old. The newer announcement made at MAX 2021 said release in "2022." These things often get delayed for numberous reasons.

2022 is nearly over. The beta text sign up form link still exists but when filled out it dosn't seem to submit. No mention of it was made in this year's MAX. Is this feature still in development?

Adobe doesn't usually give detailed predictions to its users of features in progress.
I'm a member of the InDesign Prerelease program and I am under NDA which prevents me from sharing what I may know about such features. You could apply to become a member of InDesign Prerelease. They are needed to provide good feedback on the development of the product.

+1 on this.
Announced in 2020. Scheduled for 2021. We're almost in 2023 and the trail has gone cold.
C'mon Adobe! Any updates on this? Should we give up hope, or it still in the works?

And it's now the last day of February--any word yet, Adobe? I literally had a big discussion about my editor's frustrations about how long it takes to get edits done because she cannot edit the text herself and interrupts the process of my other workload (which I do not mind). Help! This would be such a magnificent upgrade to Adobe InDesign workflow.

You're not talking to Adobe on this forum, most of us are just users like you. In general, Adobe doesn't preannounce dates of software releases. If you were a member of InDesign Prerelease sometimes there are be confidential discussions of software development but those are not for the public. Sorry.

Yes, I see that I replied to the wrong thread. No problem. I think that InCopy is the solution we are all looking for, I just realized--after searching more of Adobe's content. Thank you anyway for the reply.
