More importantly, DocsFlow maintains a dynamic link so it can intelligently merge Google Docs changes into the InDesign story contents on each link update, rather than just replacing the story. DocsFlow assists by amalgamating Google Docs format into your InDesign documents. Unlike for Word docs, InDesign lacks a built-in way to place Google Docs files into InDesign. The Pro version provides a two-way link so you can push your InDesign story changes back to Google Docs. TextStitch plug-in allows users to reduce the number of clicks to thread. With Em Software’s DocsFlow plug-in, however, you can place your Google Docs and Sheets files into your InDesign document directly without complicated workarounds. Released in November 2019, DocsFlow 3 offers some key improvements to this useful tool.
490K subscribers We’ll have a live look at Em Softwares WordsFlow and DocsFlow plugins for InDesign. So you can format, layout, and edit in InDesign, while your authors and editors continue creating and editing story content together in real time using Google Docs documents, all without ever losing work.
By default, InDesign strips out all the formatting from incoming text when you copy and paste it from any other application. Your authors and editors are no longer “frozen out” once layout begins. More often than not, these people have to make late-stage edits in a complex layout that was created by someone else. By contrast, if you copy and paste from one InDesign document into another, it maintains the formatting unless you use Edit > Paste without Formatting. Yes, I realize that this is what Adobe InCopy is created for, or alternatives such as Wordsflow or Docsflow. But sometimes, for a wide variety of reasons, InDesign is used instead. That’s a great feature when you need to strip away unwanted styles.
