InDesign’s Publish Online feature has a new options dialog box that offers users a “more elegant and less cluttered” interface. In addition to the newly designed interface, there is a new option that allows you to turn off the Share and Embed buttons in published documents. This provides greater control over who is able to view your documents.

To turn off the Share and Embed buttons

  1. Publish a document by clicking the Publish Online button in the application bar or choosing File>Publish Online. This will open the Publish Online Options dialog box.
  2. In the General settings window, select the Hide the Share and Embed options in the published document option.
  3. Click OK to initiate the publishing process. This will open a new dialog that displays a preview and a progress bar.
  4. When the file has finished uploading, click View Document to open the document in a web browser. The share and embed icons will not be visible, as seen in the second image below.
