When working in Adobe InDesign, many editorial workflows rely on linked Text Stories (for example InCopy files or external text documents). Managing these text links manually can take a lot of time and can easily lead to mistakes, especially in collaborative environments.
With the CI HUB Connector Professional, this process becomes significantly easier.
Automatically Display Linked Text Stories in ExCoP
Using the CI HUB Connector, all linked Text Stories in your InDesign document are now automatically recognized and displayed directly in the Extended Context Panel (ExCoP).
This includes text assets in any Adobe-supported text-based format, such as:
-
InCopy files (.icml)
-
Text files (.txt)
-
Rich Text Format (.rtf)
-
Microsoft Word (.docx)
-
InDesign Snippets (.idms)
As soon as a text asset is linked in your InDesign layout, the Connector detects it and lists it in the ExCoP, just like other linked assets.
Easily Relink and Manage Text Assignments
All text assignments are clearly visible in one place within the ExCoP. From there, you can:
-
Relink text stories quickly
-
Update links
-
Access DAM-stored versions
-
Use all standard ExCoP features available for linked assets
This eliminates the need to manually manage, track, or relink text files through InDesign’s native Links panel alone.
With the CI HUB Connector Professional, text stories become fully integrated assets within your DAM-driven production process, giving you complete visibility and control directly inside InDesign.
