Important information about the upcoming InDesign & InCopy 16.3

The upcoming Adobe InDesign 2021 and InCopy 2021 (16.3) will have native support for the Apple silicon chip-set, this also affects the WoodWing plugins for Studio, Assets, Swivle and Smart Styles. The current plugins are not compatible with the mac version of the upcoming 16.3 InDesign and InCopy. 

The advice is not to upgrade to 16.3 before the WoodWing plugins are available. We are currently assessing the impact and will start the conversion of our plugins as soon as we receive the necessary sdk’s from Adobe. Windows users are not affected and can use the 16.3 version.

We will update this post as more information and details about the timeline become available.
