Q&A

Q: Do all the members of my team need to have CtrlChanges installed to be able to track the changes being made?

A: No, once you enable Track Changes for a document the process is started and all changes are recorded whether or not  CtrlChanges is installed. However, only users with CtrlChanges will be able to see the changes in Layout view.

Q: Will CtrlChanges alter the InDesign or InCopy document in any way?

A: No.

Q: Will changes made to a new InDesign document which is saved to a template be included when new documents are created?

A: Yes! If a user of CtrlChanges enables Track Changes to a document and then saves that document to a template, changes made to the new document will be tracked.

Costumer quote for CtrlChanges

I have been using CtrlChanges for some time and find it extremely useful. Being able to track changes without affecting the formatting is great.
