Smart Connection Pro

Smart Connection Pro is a cool tool designed to make working on publications a breeze! Built on Adobe InDesign and InCopy, it helps teams collaborate smoothly while keeping design and editorial tasks separate. This means everyone can focus on what they do best, leading to better teamwork and control over the whole publication process.

Why You Need Smart Connection Pro

If you don’t have a solid workflow, your publication could face some pretty common issues. Imagine multiple people editing the same story at once or even worse—someone deleting a story while another person is working on it! Plus, there’s always the risk of placing stories in the wrong layout. Yikes!

The Benefits of Using Smart Connection Pro

Luckily, Smart Connection Pro offers an affordable and flexible solution that boosts your productivity while preventing those pesky mistakes. It uses easy concepts like publication, issue, and section to keep everything organized.

User-Friendly Features

The workflow can be set up in different ways: basket-based, status-based, or user-based. This means you can customize it to fit how you like to work! When a user picks a publication and issue, they instantly see all relevant sections, baskets, and files they need to work with. No more wasting time searching for files on the server!

Easy Access and Version Control

No need to worry about using the wrong version either—Smart Connection Pro has got your back! It manages versioning of stories and keeps track of revisions for you. Designers get controlled text access while editors enjoy write-to-fit features—all packed into a handy panel inside InDesign and InCopy.

Stay Updated with Smart Connection Panels

The Smart Connection panels show you what’s happening with your publication at any time. You’ll find thumbnail views for quick recognition as well as instant messaging features for chatting with coworkers easily.
