DocsFlow

DocsFlow unites the collaborative editing power of Google Docs to the layout power of InDesign.

DocsFlow lets you place online Google Docs documents as InDesign story contents, just like normal text files. More importantly, DocsFlow maintains a dynamic link so it can intelligently merge Google Docs document changes into the InDesign story contents on each link update, rather than just replacing the story. So you can format, layout, and make minor edits in InDesign, while you and others edit story content together in real time on Google Docs, without losing any work.

DocsFlow Pro is required to import Google spreadsheets and to use the export functions. More information is available on the developer's Web site.

• Adds a Relink to Google Docs… entry to the DocsFlow Links panel menu and enables re-linking in general of existing DocsFlow links
• Adds drag-and-drop support for Google Drive documents to the Place Google Docs Document dialog. Dragging a URL from docs.google.com or files from a Google Drive folder will select those items in the dialog’s list of documents. Dropped items not found in the list (maybe they’re from a different Google account) are quietly ignored
• Fixes a problem introduced in the 2.10.5 release where some shared folders aren’t displayed and the contained files are displayed at the top-level of the Place Google Docs Documents dialog
• Adds Set Default Import Options from Link… to the Links panel’s DocsFlow menus so that the import settings used to place a Google Docs document can be viewed and used with the next Place from Google Docs
• Displays items in the Export to Google Docs dialog in a way that’s more like the Place Google Docs Documents dialog
• Enables Export to Google Docs… for already-linked stories
• Changes the Export to Google Docs dialog to use the current document’s title as its default name instead of always using "Untitled document."
• Fixes the Export to Google Docs dialog to display with the last-used folder already selected
• Fixes a problem where switching user accounts from the Export to Google Docs dialog would result in a "no active login" error
• Adds support for Books and a Set Import Options entry to the Book panel’s menu so that common Place from Google Docs settings (like style mapping) can be shared by all chapters (documents) in that book
