What is InCopy CC ?

bford225 Jul 27, 2013 5:59 PM

hey i am a cloud member. but i am wondering what is incopy cc? i was told its like indesign cc, meaning its good for print and DPS. so how does it work? i am wondering bec i have dreamweaver and muse. both do the same thing designing for web sites. so is incopy another part of indesign?

i ask bec i am trying to self teach myself all the apps. so when i go back to school and take either computer graphic or mix media design as a certificate. then i will be good. this will help me with the weak design skills i have when i was photo student.

i just got my photography degree this past may of 2013. but its photography, and i only took some classes, just basic in, illustrator, dreamweaver, basic editing in perier pro.

i took indesign and did not do so well.

i thought incopy is another part indesign as a simple design editer.

Hi Bford225,

Incopy is not new and has been here from a while.
With InCopy® CC, writers, editors, and designers can work simultaneously on a single document without overwriting each other's contributions.

InDesign and Incopy work in a collaborative manner to provide the solution to the writers, editors, and designers to work on the different pieces of the same document at the same time which help in increasing productivity and reduce the overall time.

To know more about InCopy, check here :-

Below is the link which give the complete details for the Incopy-InDesign collaborative workflow :-

Wow this is great. So it's kinda a PDF editor without over writing the original document. So more than 1 person can work on the file. Hum. That's better. So that you don't have to make copy's of your changes. I see. So I can see this being used in editorial jobs. Like magazine and news paper. Cool. Now I took the indesign class when cs5 was around, my teacher never showed us in copy. Strange. Bec there was a group project once, and I had to work in my part p, but save. A copy using my initials. When I go back to school ill tell the teacher about it.

This concept would be even greater if there was a phone and tablet part. Could you pass that on to the developers who make apps. I vote 10000 votes. To this mobile to.

I can see that.

Thanks.
