Allow Extensis Suitcase to Connect to Adobe Fonts Subscription
I understand that this isn't a specific InDesign feature request, but I can't seem to find any way to put in a feature request for Adobe Fonts.
Until, and unless, Adobe decides to create a full-featured font management software package, it would be great if for subscribers of Extensis Suitcase that we could link our Adobe account to access fonts from within Suitcase much the same way we can access Google fonts.

Update snippets/version history
It would be good to have an effortless way to update the snippets. I usually work with lot of snippets and sometimes the customer wants minor changes. Now it's easier to create a new snippet instead of updating an old one.
Also, the version history could be useful to track changes.1 vote -
Live Collaboration Feature
Please add a function to collaborate on one document with multiple users simultaneously. Version Control is one of the biggest tasks on our Indesign projects.

Auto save every change to Creative Cloud and Dropbox
There really needs to be an auto save like you find in Office 365 & Google Docs. I know it has a background auto recovery but I don't trust that. It would make everything easier if every action was auto saved via cloud to the original file. Of course, still keep the back up recovery save feature.

Allow Para and Char styles to be imported from libraries together
When we create a set of styles, there are both para and char styles. If I select both at the same time, I don't get the option to import them. It would be nice if we could have a single step of importing all styles in a group at the same time so users don't have to make sure they're selecting just one or the other. It trips people up all the time when they accidentally have one of the character styles selected with all the para styles.

Ability to "replace" INDT files in CC Libraries
We have a large number of template files in a series of CC Libraries. Right now, if I make an edit that affects multiple template files in multiple libraries, it can be a long, annoying process to get the new versions into the libraries. I have descriptions written for all of the templates. To replace that template, I have to import the new one, copy the description, paste the description into the new template file, then delete the old template. If we have a brand change or other change (like, "hey, it's 2021 now, not 2020"), replacing all the templates…

Allow online document checking for all documents at the discretion of the user
Often a document gets 'slightly' corrupted. It still works, but you will get warnings about errors that cannot be solved (out of date cross references for instance) and InDesign crashes on a regular basis. But InDesign itself doesn't recognise the document as problematic. It would be nice to send such a document to Adobe's servers for a repair.

Refresh Adobe Fonts button
I added 5 styles of Adobe Garamond fonts at fonts.adobe.com and went back to Indesign. They weren't showing up yet so I closed Indesign and then reopened it and they weren't there. I searched help and Google and couldn't find a solution so I contacted Adobe customer support. The Adobe agent suggested the following:
"Please close Indesign and open fonts.adobe.com and then deactivate those 5 fonts and sign out from there. Sign in again and active those fonts and then open Indesign and check."
By that time the fonts had refreshed in Indesign so I didn't need to do this.

cc libraries - when making changes to cc library items, have an option to update all linked files
When making changes to cc library items, have an option to update all linked files that were already placed within the open document.

Review Online: Changes on comments
When you change text that has been highlighted it jumps down to Unresolved. I constantly have to find my way back to the comment section I was on. Very annoying.
Also, if I hit command-V when i have text in comment highlighted it suddenly changes the filter to just "Resolved"

CC Library Paste in Place option
When using CC libraries, it would be very useful to be able to 'paste in place' an element into the layout. For magazine design I have many elements that I need to be able to paste in the location on the page, gutter photo credits, folios, etc. This was an option in a regular library but not in CC.

Store GREP strings in Library
I often have to use the same long GREP strings in multiple documents and for multiple projects (eg. custom targeting of words and/or characters at the end of a paragraph to avoid orphans). Depending on the context, it can get complicated. I currently have a spreadsheet so I don't have to reformulate every time I need one, but I would like to store them as easily as character or paragraph styles so I can reference them again and again.

Place .aic and .psdc files
As work flows are continuing to become more and more cloud based with the new photoshop and illustrators, the natural step would be to allow us to place .aic and .psdc files into an InDesign file. These items will be invaluable as we build for future users.

Placing Cloud Documets
Placing Cloud Documents in InDesign would vastly improve and simplify the workflow of a project started in apps such as Photoshop, Fresco, or Illustrator on iPad Pro. This would allow editing the files placed in the InDesign file without the need to export the Cloud Documents to a compatible often uneditable file format.

Please add InDesign as a supported Creative Cloud file type
I was very excited to learn more about CC files and libraries during Max. I wanted to start implementing CC files to take advantage of versions and file sharing. It's very disappointing to learn that InDesign isn't currently a program that's supported for CC file saving. Please add it.

Search Adobe Fonts
Next to the search bar for Adobe Stock would be a nice place to search for fonts as well. Just my opinion.

add pages to cc library
my team works on multiple sales decks that use a lot of the same pages. It would be amazing to be able to pull a full page into the cc library so the team would easily be able to compile a new deck from pulling new pages out of a single library

View multiple CC Libraries at the same time in InDesign
It would be very helpful to be able to view more than 1 CC Library panel at a time within the InDesign workspace. For instance, my company has a library for our brand elements (colors, fonts, logos, etc) and then multiple other libraries for various uses. I'd like to be able to have at least 2 open simultaneously rather than switching back and forth.

Import/export Share for Review comments
The new Share for Review feature is great. I've noticed though that once the file is moved, the comments are lost or no longer linked to the copy of the file. I have also seen that only one person has access to comments (although I have not tested this). This does not seem useful when you think about the workflow of an ad agency, where files are usually started by one person (say an art director), then passed along and finished by others (like a designer or studio artist). If comments can't be passed along with the document, it disrupts…
