Limitations

Here's a known limitation, and we're actively working to resolve this in future updates:

By default, collaborators added through the InCopy on the web (Beta) feature in the InDesign Beta build are assigned view-only access to the InDesign cloud documents. The collaborators also appear in the Invite to Edit workflow, but their access cannot be upgraded to edit the documents.
