As chapters came together, Davidson posted them to a secure Internet site for everyone's access. The combination of InDesign and InCopy allowed Davidson and the O'Reilly staff to work in parallel.
As Davidson wrote chapters, flowed text into the template and adjusted the layout, the copy editor checked out files to make corrections and insert comments for the author and editor. Editors were able to visualize each page, fitting copy precisely into the layout and taking advantage of features in InCopy, such as change tracking to make edits while retaining the original text in InCopy, separate from the layout in InDesign.
From finished manuscript to press in 9 days.
