DocsFlow merges any changes on the Google Docs side into the linked InDesign story, even if the latter has been changed.

When the Google Docs document is edited, you’ll see the link’s status change to “modified” (a yellow alert icon), and you can update the story from Google Docs with a double-click on the icon.

Simply download and install the Plugin, select Place from Google Docs, log in, and start placing dynamically-linked documents, later merging with a double-click when the remote document is edited.ĭocsFlow’s second breakthrough ienables you to edit both the InDesign story and the Google Docs document independently, without losing work on either side. Using DocsFlow means you need no special resources to build, maintain or learn the editorial side (which is just Google Docs), and means no learning curve on the design side (since DocsFlow builds on the native InDesign story linking and story updating machinery). So you can format, layout, and make minor edits in InDesign, while you and others continue editing story content together in real time on Google Docs, without losing any work.ĭocsFlow’s first breakthrough idea is to connect the freely-available and popular web-based Google Docs editing tools to InDesign, giving you a zero-cost-per-seat editorial workflow solution that is extraordinarily easy to manage. In the Pro version, that’s a two-way link so you can push your InDesign story changes to Google Docs. 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. With DocsFlow, you place online Google Docs documents and (Pro version) spreadsheets as InDesign story contents, just like normal text or spreadsheet files. But the real magic isn’t in the importing it’s in the ability to make edits. It works with both word processing and spreadsheet documents, so you can quickly and easily import stories and tables. Instead of having to download your files first from “the cloud” as Microsoft Word documents (or RTF, Excel, PDF, etc.), Em Software’s DocsFlow for InDesign Plug-in lets you place the files directly into InDesign.
