Poll Results: Do non-designers edit your InDesign documents?
The results of our poll asking if you still use Flash (SWF) and a new poll on who edits your InDesign files
Hey folks, it’s time once again to review the results of a poll and launch a new one.
Recently, we asked if your workflow includes non-designers editing your InDesign documents.
The results showed that a little less than half (47%) of you never have to share your InDesign docs with non-designers.
Of the 53% of you who do have to let non-designers edit your files, about 38% said that they hand over the reins but only for the purpose of tweaking the text. And 15% say that non-designers are in their files making edits to both text and layout.
Here’s a graphic showing the results:

New poll: Which 3 programs besides InDesign do you wish you knew better?
Our new poll asks you which programs other than InDesign you’d like to know better. You can select up to three. Do you long to be a Photoshop master? A PowerPoint guru? An Illustrator aficionado? Let us know!
