I have been to the InCopy page on the Adobe website and it states that InCopy comes with Creative Cloud but I am a Creative Cloud member and InCopy is not listed in any of the Apps or Services within the Cloud menu.
Does any other Creative Cloud members know how to access the InCopy?
Thanks

A client and I have used InCopy for several years with no issues. After upgrading to CS6, though, we are both getting this error when opening InDesign files that have embedded preflight profiles:
Missing Plug-ins, Cannot Open File
Package and Preflight.InDesignPlugin
I've tested this on two machines (both Macs) and can confirm that it happens only with embedded preflight profiles. My client is having the same experience on his brand-new iMac (with no previous CS6 installations).
Documents without embedded preflight profiles open normally.
Extension Manager reports that the Package and Preflight plugin is loaded -- but from a nonexistent folder:
This folder existed in CS5.5 but not now. Both my client and I have uninstalled and reinstalled InCopy CS6 with no change.
After clicking through the error to load the document, selecting Option+Command+InCopy > About InCopy to display component information shows that the plugin is both "used" and "missing."
No big deal (we can click through this) but annoying and strange. Anyone else running into this?

Adobe InCopy CS6 8.0 and 8.0.1
Mac OS X 10.8.2, 10.7.4, and 10.6.8.
I have a file that throws a
"Missing plugin
EBookExport.InDesignPlugin
The document "xxx.indd uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently avaiable on your system. Do you want to open it anyway?"
error on document open. This document has been opened on multiple Macs using the all three of the most recent operating systems listed above. Updating InCopy to 8.0.1 did not change anything.
Interestingly, in Extension Manager, EBookExport.InDesignPlugin does not show up in the list as an available plugin. It is in the InCopy applications folder: Applications/Adobe\ InCopy\ CS6/Plug-Ins/Filters/EBookExport.InDesignPlugin It does show up as an InDesign plugin, and it is loaded…
A clean install of InCopy CS6 from the Adobe disc on a new Mac generates the same error when opening the document. Opening the document in InDesign and exporting to idml, then re-opening makes no difference. Same error.
The root issue here is obviously that the extension is not recognized. I changed permisssions on the folder to no avail. As stated earlier, a fresh install on a new iMac and the extension will not load.
Anyone else seen anything like this?

I have CS5 and would like to add InCopy to my suite. When I tried the free InCopy trial, it said it was no longer supported.
When I reopen a copy and try to insert text, a dropdown appears (Such as I type E and Edit appears). How do I stop this?
Does anyone know how to open .indd files in InCopy? When I try to do this I can see the Layout View but not the Galley View or Story View, and I can't make any changes to the document.
Hello All,
I'm trying to help an editor troubleshoot an issue that I haven't seen before. InCopy on her system is stuck in Notes Mode for all documents. When the user tries to type or click in a story, she's prestented with a new note instead of seeing the desired effects. Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Open a document.
2. Check out a story from the document.
3. Try to type or click anywhere in the checked out document
We've tried the above steps with a dozen or so documents and they have all acted the same way. The following are the troubleshooting steps that we've tried so far:
1. Restart InCopy.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Swap out the keyboard to make sure F8 wasn't stuck.
This issue just started this morning; she has used this system for about a year now without any similar issues. Her system configuration is as follows:
Apple iMac, 20" Intel Core 2 Duo
OS X 10.5.8 with latest security patches
Adobe InCopy CS3 5.0.4
Extensis Font Reserve Client 1.7.6.1
Please let me know if you have any questions or thoughts. I have a feeling that there is something minor that I'm overlooking but I can't figure out what.
Thanks,
Alex
We are a group of editors who have been using InDesign and InCopy for several years. We send InCopy assignment packages to one another by email - no central server involved.
We have an experienced editor who has opened a package, edited the content and saved it, then gone back in to the assignment files with the intention of resuming his work - a process we are all familiar with. On this occasion he is unable to check out the content he needs to edit, getting the error message I have placed in the subject line.
I have searched widely inside and outside Adobe.com but cannot find any advice on how to get around this problem.
Help!
We are using CS5 software under various versions of OS X.
I have worked in a server based InCopy workflow without difficulty in the past, but am working with an author using a remote workflow and am having a devil of a time.
I create InDesign (CC) files and package them for her as ICAP files. She opens them fine and makes changes in CS6. She repackages them as IDAP files and returns them to me. When I try to open her files I get this:
First of all today is 5/6/2014. Note the date in the error message.
If I select the "Save the contents . . ." option, I would expect the assignment files to be saved and that the document would open in InDesign. But I get this:
Please ignore the differences in chapter numbers, I captured these shots while trying different files. The upshot is that none of the listed conditions in the error message is true.
Can anyone put me on to a solution to this roadblock?
I should mention that this is not a problem with about half of the authors IDAP file.
In the past, we've used a local server to share InCopy assignments between our writers and designers. Now, with many users working off-site, we'd like to use a cloud-based workflow. Is there anything within InCopy/Indesign CC to help with this? We have a CC for Teams account.
My first thought was to use the CC Libraries function, because this has worked great for us with graphics and photos, but InCopy files cannot live as Library items. Actually, InCopy doesn't even appear to have a Libraries panel.
My second thought, and what we're currently practicing, is to have shared folders in our Creative Cloud drives. This works much like using Dropbox would work. The issue here is that, like Dropbox, the Creative Cloud Drive files exist on your physical machine, then upload to the cloud server after a save or check-in action takes place. This pretty-much eliminates the benefit of the check-in/check-out process, as each individual will always see the file on their desktop as checked-in... even if all of them are working on the same file independently. Then there will be a syncing issue as they all save or check-in their content.
tl;dr: Is there an Adobe solution to create a cloud-based InCopy server workflow?
I have not been able to find anything on this issue. I am using InCopy CS5 (7.0.4). I am preparing stand-alone InCopy files for InDesign layout. In other words, these files are not part of InCopy workflow.
When I try to open a file I closed yesterday, I get the error message: unclosed token.
No options to restore the file. Nothing. I guess I have to kiss that file good-bye.
Any suggestions?
Note: I must first say that InCopy CS5 has got to be one of the most unstable pieces of software I have ever used. It has crashed nearly once an hour since I started this project. (Don't get me wrong. I am a fan of InCopy/InDesign. There is no better way to integrate xml into the publishing cycle, for example.) But as an example of the unstable behavior, I will be copying and pasting text from one place to another when the beach ball will start spinning. Then InCopy crashes. In a few minutes, the crash report window appears. After answering the various dialog boxes, my file(s) come back.
One of our users is having issues with her Adobe InCopy 2015 app on her new laptop and the laptop is running Windows 7 Enterprise. When opened the app simply crashes, 'InCopy has stopped working' error appearing over the window. It will then close down and continue to show the same message if we try to open it. We have tried uninstalling the App and Creative Cloud entirely to no effect. As to why this is happening we have no idea. We have another user using the exact same laptop on the desk next to hers, we use an image to make sure all machines are set up the same, and he is having no issues at all with Creative Cloud or InCopy. As said before, we have tried reinstalling Creative Cloud directly from the Adobe website, using her login account for it, and it did not stop the error. We have tried trashing the preferences as well, no change.
Whenever I open an InCopy document that is linked to InDesign I receive an message that says 'The content is locked and cannot be modified'. I then must keep the return key down for a long time in order to open the file. In the background another message pops up saying 'Open documents - import snippet'. It almost seems that I have to acknowledge each text frame. It is nothing to do with 'Checking in/out' content as we have tried both options. Please help!
We are using the CC version of InDesign and InCopy and previously never had this issue.

I promise it isn't as dense a question as it sounds like.
We're an InDesign operation, but me and the other copywriters work in text editors and feed it to several downstreams, who go on to use it in InDesign, along with a couple of text-only destinations (SalesForce, Magento eComm platform, feed it to our translation service, etc.). I'm trying to determine if Ic could work and eliminate some extra cycles but I can't find a cogent discussion of "InCopy does x, y and z."
If there's someplace all the newbs should go to read up first, please point me thither.
Thanks all.
Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?
Now it opens in the screen mode the InDesign page is in when checked in. We don't want that.
Thanks,
Frederik
we have installed Adobe InCopy CS6, but while launching this it's stuck on initializing screen only. there is no any error message reported.
Hello,
I've just bought a single lincense of InCopy, but now I've realized that I might need it on a second computer.
What can I do to upgrade it?
Thank you very much.
The error I get when I launch InCopy CS6 is: Adobe InCopy is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InCopy to recover work in any unsaved InCopy documents. <Return to Finder> Just two weeks ago we resolved an issue with the serial number. It was resolved, but now InCopy crashes.
