"Still the best edit experience for print"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe InCopy?

After writing a draft of my article on a text editor, there's no better thing then putting it on InCopy to see if 1) it fits 2) it's making sense with the rest of the page. So what I like the most is being able to nicely edit my written text having, at the same time, the view of the page. A second thing would be the ability to collaborate with other teams, since I can see the pictures and layout they came up with while working on my words. A lot has changed in the software market but Adobe has manage to still make InCopy the best software experience for companies working with print options/pdfs.

What do you dislike about Adobe InCopy?

I wish it was easier to access files from different devices and make simple edits online, even (although I get it that this would be harder). I guess the same goes for Adobe software products in general. The Adobe Cloud was an advance and it sure helps, but it's still not as smooth as it could be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic tool for collaboration of design and content"
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe InCopy?

InCopy is one of the best tools for designers and content developers to work together. It allows designers to edit their copy, and content writers can edit and modify the content with disturbing designs. It helps my team and me to make the changes quickly and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe InCopy?

If you are new, you may feel it little tricky to understand, but after that, you can edit make changes in your designs or content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Adobe InCopy Streamlines Publishing"
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe InCopy?

Using Adobe InCopy eliminates extra steps involved in going from rough copy and art to the printed page template. Once the copy is flowed in, predetermined magazine style sheets take over and prepare articles for graphic enhancement. Editing is a breeze when you can see layout and copy in the same document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe InCopy?

Editors are not empowered to delete or move photos, expand or contract text boxes. Enabling them to do so would help speed the process a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A tool that helps my creative team and content team to work together efficiently"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe InCopy?

Multiple people can work simultaneously. Designers and editors both can work together very easily. Editors can make changes in the content without disturbing design elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe InCopy?

It provides a feature of adding notes and it helps us but at the same time when there are multiple notes, it becomes confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"THE tool for editing and proofreading"
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe InCopy?

Working on any document is a breeze. I can edit the text without messing with the design… and we save a lot of time because without it, the designer had to export the file to a pdf, I'd have to add comments on it, send it back. Now I just get the package file, do the edits that need to be done, send it back… and done! we save a lot of time with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe InCopy?

It is useless by itself. You also need a license for InDesign in your workflow. Unless you are a publisher, paying a monthly license will not be worth it. Since we are not a publisher, we just get a license for a month when we will use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Adobe InCopy helps editors and art directors work together"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe InCopy?

InCopy allows editors/writers to go into an Indesign file and edit the copy without accidentally changing the design of the layout. This program will enable you to edit without reflowing the copy or reformatting it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe InCopy?

Sometimes there are user errors with an editor if they are not familiar with the program. I think better tutorials on how to use the program would help. Maybe a video showing the editors how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and professional"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe InCopy?

I like how easy this software is to use. It's intuitive and makes the process of writing and submitting a manuscript all that easier. The quality looks fantastic and looks professional. I had to use this software to write a manuscript for a film, and this was a perfect way to keep it organized and professional. It was easy to send it back and forth between my colleagues to all contribute and save our changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe InCopy?

I don't like that you have to pay for more functions, although that is life. The paid version is worth it, however, if you work in the industry. It also would be nice to have a setting where multiple people can work on it at once without the software glitch. Sometimes changes another person made took a while to show up, making it harder to collaborate than necessary. But it works fine if you're just working with 1-2 other individuals.
