Download DocsFlow (Mac) – Download Free

Adobe InDesign is one of the most popular page layout solutions out there, and Google Docs shines as an easy-to-use, accessible collaborative editor. Both platforms have their perks, and using them together can help you take full advantage of both.

DocsFlow is an InDesign plugin that aims to give you the best of both worlds. It allows you to seamlessly use both InDesign and Google Docs as part of your team’s workflow, and it is especially well suited for collaborative endeavors.

Using this plugin, you can add Google Docs files (documents and spreadsheets) to InDesign projects, and it will create a dynamic link so that changes made in Google Docs are sent to the InDesign story on every link update. Even a two-way link is supported, allowing you to send changes from InDesign to Google Docs.

DocsFlow is intended for projects that involve collaborative work in Google Docs, something the platform excels at, with multiple editors working at the same time. It allows you to take documents and place them in InDesign, with live links, without inconveniencing the people still working on the project in Google Docs. When updates are made, changes can be ported to InDesign instantly, without complications.
