: The way it's supposed to work with books in a team in InDesign is not coherent, then how to properly work? Imagine this scenario: User A opens the book User B opens the book and make important
Imagine this scenario:
User A opens the book
User B opens the book and make important changes
User B saves the book
User A closes the indesign and it's asked if wants to save the changes to the book
Chooses YES
In this case all the changes of User B are lost!
But Indesign "tells us" to never open the document outside the book.
As you can see here they say the following: "Note: If you are sharing book files over a server, make sure that you have a file management system in place so that you don’t save over each other’s changes accidentally."
This is exactly my scenario;
They say "file management system" but how exactly to implement it for this case?
thanks

Having never worked with the book function in InDesign, I'm only guessing, but maybe this is your problem:
Book files are separate from document files. For example, when you choose the Save Book command, InDesign saves the changes to the book, not the documents in the book.
Maybe what needs to happen is that User B has to save the document changes, rather than the book changes.
