The InCopy software has three viewing modes: (i) Story mode, (ii) Galley mode, and (iii) Layout mode. The Story mode is for text reading and editing in a screen-wide, word-processor view without the publication page formatting. The Galley mode view displays the text in a word processing view without page formatting but with line numbers and the same line breaks as in the layout. Both Galley and Story views reveal text that is overset (overflowing its container) in Layout view, and show the names of the style sheets applied to the text; but do not display the actual formatting. The Layout mode shows the true page design layout displaying every format applied to the text and all the images.
Although InCopy can be used as a word processor (with full printing and exporting functions), it is primarily used to integrate with the Adobe Systems InDesign desktop publishing software application.
With InCopy integrated with InDesign, writers, editors, and designers can simultaneously work on the same page; the designer creates the page layout with InDesign, while editors simultaneously edit different stories with InCopy, via the Adobe LiveEdit rights management system. Publishers often use a publishing system including workflow- and rights-management to the design and editing capabilities of the publishing system software.
