The new CtrlChanges plug-in for InDesign and InCopy solves a common problem: knowing where, when, and who has made changes in a shared document.
With multiple users contributing text to a project, it is crucial to know exactly where changes have taken place. CtrlChanges will save you and your workgroup valuable time by eliminating the scanning and searching for possible revisions by making them quick and easy to spot. This smart and easy-to-use plug-in will have you and workgroup working more effectively than ever before.
