Installations
Your specific user permissions determine the necessary installations.
Comment-only User (No installation):
If your role involves applying comments without content modifications using Adobe InCopy or Adobe InDesign, no additional installations are needed. Your administrator will assign you ‘Read & Comment’ permissions for the relevant reports. For insights into the CtrlPrint Review tool, which you will use to apply comments, make sure to watch the tutorial.
