Original news
Adobe released InDesign CC 2015 today. We knew the upgrade was coming, but Adobe kept everyone guessing about the exact timing, and they took us a bit by surprise.
While it’s tempting to upgrade immediately if you’re on Creative Cloud, you absolutely need to read this post first, from Steve Werner at InDesign Secrets:
Read This Before Installing InDesign CC 2015!
By default, all your previous versions of InDesign will be removed, and our plug-ins with them, so you’ll be out of business.
If you haven’t already upgraded, but would like to, see the Adobe Creative Cloud blog article
How-to: Installing Creative Cloud Updates
which details how to install CC 2015 without removing the previous versions, and our plug-ins along with them.

DocsFlow users: switch to browser login immediately
On April 20th, Google is going to shut down the old-style API (application programming interface) employed when you use a direct login in DocsFlow. (You may have gotten a scary-looking notice from Google that says “ACTION REQUIRED: Your Google Apps account is using the Documents List API, which will stop functioning on April 20th, 2015”.)
The good news is that DocsFlow has long been employing the new-style API when you login via the browser, so there should be no surprises.
You should simply start using File > DocsFlow > Sign in to Google Docs… > Sign in securely with your browser (you might need to logout first), rather than Sign in directly here:, and you should be fine.
We also strongly suggest that you upgrade to the latest DocsFlow (see the release notes), as this release fixes a critical bug with anchored, linked items in a story.
Release: WordsFlow 2.4.2 for InDesign CS5–CC2014
This release mainly addresses issues with anchored, linked items causing damage to the parent story’s WordsFlow connection.

WordsFlow 2.0 review from InDesign Magazine
Jamie McKee wrote a perceptive and very positive review of our newly-released WordsFlow version 2.0 in InDesign Magazine, issue #65 of September 2014. His conclusion:
WordsFlow already offered InDesign users a solution to the Microsoft Word/ Excel-to-InDesign workflow problem we’ve all been wrestling with for years—updating linked files without losing formatting. WordsFlow Pro 2.0 takes the final step, offering full two-way capabilities so you can send the changes you’ve made in InDesign back to your original Word documents. If you regularly work with text files that are likely to be edited (and who doesn’t?), you need to take a look at WordsFlow Pro 2.0!
Release: InCatalog 2.13.2 for InDesign CS5–CC2014

Release: WordsFlow 2.0 for InDesign CS5–CC2014
We’re delighted to announce the release of WordsFlow 2.0, which adds Pro-level features that, like DocsFlow Pro, complete the workflow cycle and make WordsFlow fully two-way. With the Pro version, you can now update your Word documents in place from the latest linked InDesign story contents, and you can export’n’link any InDesign story to a new Word document as well.
