MetaGrove provides intuitive, high-fidelity metadata capture via a menu item directly within InCopy.

Update the metadata before the story file is saved or checked-in by InCopy, saving workflow steps, and reducing the potential for ommission under the pressure of tight deadlines.

Standard XMP MetaGrove dialog examples:
  PRISM - for magazine and journal publishers
  IPTC - for newspaper publishers

Publishers can implement custom schema properties and MetaGrove dialogs with the companion MetaGrove Developer which take advantage of the full depth of XMP's capability to match the natural organization of their workflow metadata.

Available for both Windows and Macintosh platforms.
  MetaGrove for InCopy $199.00
  System requirements:
  Adobe InCopy CS3, CS2,
    or CS (Mac only)
  Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard
