How to find and open your document (CtrlPrint Server)

  1. Go to secure.ctrlprint.net and login. 
  2. Navigate to your project:

  3. Click your company name on the left side of the window.
  4. Click the project name.
  5. Click the chapter name.
  6. Click:"Edit in InCopy".

You will be asked by your browser if you want to open Transfer Manager. Click: "Open CtrlPrint Transfer Manager" and the chapter will automatically download and open.

Save locally and save often (InCopy/InDesign)

As Adobe InCopy does not have an auto-save function, saving your work regularly is essential.

The document will be saved locally on your computer and may be retrievable in the event of a program or system crash.

Please click File -> Save Content from the InCopy/InDesign top menu bar. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + S for PC and Cmd + S for Mac.

Save to Server (InCopy/InDesign)

You must click 'Save to Server' when you have finished making changes. If you do not do this, your changes will not be saved to the CtrlPrint server and other users will not be able to access the chapter.
