New features
The following has been introduced in this release of Studio for InDesign and InCopy:
- Studio for InCopy: suppressing the creation of additional layout pages in Layout view in case of overset. By default, when working on an article in Layout view and overset is encountered, Studio for InCopy automatically creates a new layout to fit the additional text.
Some users prefer to not have extra pages created in Layout view and to rely instead on the standard overset functionality of InCopy.
The creation of additional pages when overset is encountered can now be disabled through the following setting:
Locally in the WWSettings.xml file of Studio for InCopy:
<SCEnt:SuppressOversetPages/>
Globally in the config_overrule.php file of Studio Server:
new Feature( 'SuppressOversetPages' ),
Changes
The following changes have been made in this release of Studio for InDesign and InCopy:
- Reintroduction of sending geometry updates manually. In previous versions, geometry updates were sent automatically each time a layout was checked in or when a version of the layout was saved. The option to manually send updates was removed; if an update was to be manually sent, users were supposed to perform a Save Version action.
In practice, users found the action of saving a version of a layout to send out geometry updates as 'too heavy'. The functionality of manually sending out this information has therefore been reintroduced and can now once more be performed by using one of the following methods:
- Choosing WoodWing Studio > Send Geometry.
- In the buttons bar of the Elements panel, clicking the Send Geometry button.
- From the flyout menu of the Elements panel, choosing Send Geometry.
Note: Sending out a geometry update is now always done for all articles placed on the layout. It is not possible to send out an update for selected articles only. Also, no message is shown on the system of the user to whom the update is sent.
For more information, see Receiving and sending layout and article updates in Studio for InDesign and InCopy.

New features
The following has been introduced in this release of Studio for InDesign and InCopy:
- Compatibility with InDesign and InCopy 2020 version 15. Adobe recently released InDesign and InCopy versions 15.1.0 and 15.1.1 which include functional changes. We have tested Studio for InDesign and InCopy 15.1.1 with these versions and can confirm that they can be used with InDesign/InCopy 2020 version 15.1.0 and 15.1.1.
Changes
The following changes have been made in this release of Studio for InDesign and InCopy:
- Resizing behavior of the Studio panel. When using the Studio panel in Browse mode, tools at the top of the panel are available for searching for files and for refreshing the panel. When the width of the panel is reduced, there may not be enough space to show all tools. In such a scenario, the lists disappear from left to right:
- Brand list
- Issue list
- Category list
- Status list
Mode list (Browse) - Refresh - Brand - Issue - Category - Status
Mode list (Browse) - Refresh - Issue - Category - Status
Mode list (Browse) - Refresh - Category - Status
Mode list (Browse) - Refresh - Status
Mode list (Browse) - Refresh
This way, the Status list is visible as much as possible.
This behavior has now changed so that the lists disappear from right to left:
- Status list
- Category list
- Issue list
- Brand list
Mode (Browse) - Refresh - Brand - Issue - Category - Status
Mode (Browse) - Refresh - Brand - Issue - Category
Mode (Browse) - Refresh - Brand - Issue
Mode (Browse) - Refresh - Brand
Mode (Browse) - Refresh
When needed, the behavior can be changed back to making the lists disappear from left to right by changing the configuration.
- Using custom file icons. The use of custom icons for files is no longer supported.
Known issues
The following known issue exists in this release of Studio for InDesign and InCopy:
- EN-93292 InDesign Review is lost after saving a version of a layout. The recently released InDesign 2020 version 15.1.0 contains a 'Share for Review' feature (see this video by Adobe). After testing this version in InDesign we found that the connection to the Review is lost after performing a Save As action using the same document name.
Note that in Studio for InDesign and InCopy a Save As action is carried out as part of a regular Save Version action for a layout. This is done on purpose to avoid an unnecessary increase in file size. As a result, the document review comments are lost after each Save Version action.
This issue was reported in InDesign User Voice. We expect that Adobe will solve this in a next update.
Documentation
The following changes to the documentation have been made in this release of Studio for InDesign and InCopy:
- The resizing behavior of the Studio panel in Studio for InDesign and InCopy - new
- Configuring the resizing behavior of the Studio panel in Studio for InDesign and InCopy - new
- Using custom file icons in Enterprise Server - updated
Note: Some screenshots in the product documentation may still show references to Enterprise Server instead of Studio Server. This will be updated over the coming weeks.

Studio for InDesign and InCopy 2020 (version 15.1.0)
Version: 15.1.0 build 15
Release date: 19 May 2020
Downloads
The download files for this version of Studio for InDesign and InCopy can be found in the Release announcement.
New features
The following feature has been introduced in this release of Studio for InDesign and InCopy:
- Opening files in Studio for InDesign and InCopy from a custom Web application. When making use of a Web application (such as a planning tool or a custom application), users may want to directly open layouts or articles directly from that application into InDesign or InCopy with Studio installed.
This can be made possible by letting the application call a URL with specific parameters. Using this method, the following can be done:
- Open layouts in InDesign or articles in InCopy
- Open multiple layouts or articles with one URL
- Open the files checked-out or as read-only
- Open a template for editing or instantiate a new document from the template
For more information, see Opening files in Studio for InDesign and InCopy from a custom Web application.
- Scripting. As part of the functionality for opening files in Studio for InDesign and InCopy from a custom Web application, the following scripting call has been added:
- application.openObjects
Changes
Studio for InDesign and InCopy 2020 is based on Studio for InDesign and InCopy 15.0.0 and is technically the same. Apart from re-branding it by changing logos and product name references at various places, only the following changes have been made:
- Dragging files from Content Station or Studio onto a layout in InDesign. Support for dragging files from Content Station 9 has been dropped. It is still possible to drag files from Content Station 11 or Studio by using the Drag to InDesign integration.
- Single sign-on: Preventing Studio for InDesign and InCopy from checking if Studio Server is SSO-enabled. When Studio for InDesign and InCopy with support for single sign-on (SSO) connects to Studio Server, a check is done to see if that version of Studio Server has SSO enabled.
When Studio for InDesign and InCopy with support for single sign-on connects to a version of Studio Server which does not contain this service, a fatal PHP error is logged by Studio Server. Although harmless in itself, the error unnecessarily triggers alarms in system monitoring tools.
It was already possible to prevent Studio for InDesign and InCopy from performing the SSO check by modifying the URLs that are defined in the WWSettings.xml file, but this did not affect URLs that are defined in the configserver.php file.
This has now been made possible by the following option that can be added to the configserver.php file:
new Feature( 'sso', 'false'),
For more information, see Preventing Studio for InDesign and InCopy from checking if Studio Server is SSO-enabled.
