Reply To: InDesign graphic artist who can't learn InCopy

We don’t have the same work flow but maybe this will help. Our editors work on the same server as the designers so we aren’t sending files back and forth.
We build the pages with inDesign then export inCopy files and save those in a separate folder which are linked to the inDesign document.

We don’t go directly to the incopy files to make edits, the editor opens the inDesign file using inCopy and can see the page layout and make edits. I don’t think your guy is sending you the indesign file correct? Maybe the files need to live in a cloud where everyone has access to the same documents.

I hope this helps,
