How to use the Adobe InDesign Package feature

This article describes how to use the built-in Adobe InDesign Package feature. The Package feature will collect all of the assets required for an Adobe InDesign document, including the Document, Linked Graphics, and Fonts. All of the items will be saved into a newly-created folder. The folder can then be Zipped and sent to our team for review.
