Would be nice to know what the issue really is and how to solve. I was updating a share for review yesterday and I entered the spinning wheel after about 15 min of processing then it hit 98% which lasted for over another 10 minutes. Finally forced quit, then rebooted and made the Share for Review in 10 min. What is going on?

I am having the same (annoying) problem from a Mac system. Can anyone suggest something that doesn't involve logging out of creative cloud or trashing preferences every time I want to update the link?

If it's happening every time try the creative Cloud Cleaner Tool

Delete InDesign preferences with shortcuts

You can delete the replaceable InDesign SaveData and InDesign Defaults files by holding down the following keys while InDesign is launching:

  • Windows: Shift+Ctrl+Alt
  • Mac OS: Shift+Control+Option+Command

I am able to create a link and share for review but I am not able to update the link. Everytime I update the link, I get an infinite spinner which doesn't end. If I close the document and open again, it says: "Unable to update artifact". But, it works if I create a new link. I can use it as a workaround but I can't send my client new links everytime. It is time consuming.

 

I've tried clearing caches, removing app prefs and logging out and logging in as well. Nothing works. Also, I am seeing a bunch of similar unanswered questions in the forum. It will be great if adobe can do something about this.

One of the main features that made me come into adobe ecosystem was share for review in InDesign. This is very frustrating.

Thanks in advance to anyone who is letting me know about the fix.

 

Have a good day!

Hi. I am running the most current version of Indesign and when i go to the drop down menu for Share for Review, it is blank...no options to share, etc. I had already done a share and wanted to update my link, but there are no options to do ANYTHING, like I said....I have restarted my computer, and restarted the app many times. I am using a Macbook Pro using OS Big Sur.....it was working fine yesterday.

 

Thanks

Hi there! 

I am preparing a document that I have to share with stakeholders and a few days ago I have shared a first draft with no visible problems. Now, for the last two days, I can not update the link. I have the constant animated circle for hours and nothing is happening (see screenshot attached)

 

I have already tried closing/quiting/restarting an app/computer/cloud. I have updated the app, I searched for solutions everywhere. Does anyone else experienced this? Any ideas how to solve this?


Hi all!

I've created a document in InDesign and created a Share for Review. However, now that I've made changes, when I clicked the "Update Link," my document does not update. Instead the screen just spins like it's trying to update. The file isn't large, and I have a fast internet speed. I even let it sit for 30 mins to see if it would resolve. I've tried the suggestions for when the Share for Review screen is blank, but none of those have helped. I've signed out and back in to my Adobe CC account multiple times in variou s ways. I've rebooted my computer several times also. Nothing I've tried has seem to help. Any ideas?

My OS is Windows 10 updates are current and same with InDesign (v. 16.1).

 

Thanks!
