Change Asset Characteristics (Color, Style, Color Space) in Adobe Libraries
The Problem:
When building out an icon system in Adobe Libraries, you need to save a separate icon for each color variation, style variation (we have a filled style, line style, and multi-color style), and color space (digital vs. print). For our organization, there are 3 styles, 3 color variations for each, and 2 color spaces, meaning you need 18 different versions of a single icon. For large icon libraries, this results in a massive library and poor performance (icons with too many assets start to slow down and cause crashes).My Idea for a Solution:

Hi, i would like to have multiple team members working on the same InDesign file simultaneously. Now InDesign cloud doesn’t support it
Hi,
i would like to have multiple team members working on the same InDesign file simultaneously. Now InDesign cloud doesn’t support it, multi-user collaboration on a single file like some cloud-based apps.1 vote -
Restore several links to a Library
Create a function to update the links in the Libraries in the same way as for a local folder.
I had to move my libraries to a new Cloud following a change of plan. All the links no longer work. Even if I give the path to a link, INDD isn't able to restore the other links in the same library as it can in a local folder. I have thousands of links to restore manually!1 vote -
Add Permission based Security to Adobe Cloud Documents to permit Web Access and Editing without Download to Local Server
I wish to post a large number of INDD Documents as Master files to permit Access and Editing with Saving only to Cloud and not to local drive for those without permission. I propose a second level of permissioning such that we protect original master "template" documents from being downloaded or saved to users local drives unless granted specific permission. This way I can engage remote users to populate and prepare files without risk of losing our valuable IP.

Defined dynamic Elements (images, videos & Text....) editable by Google Sheets, API or online Editor
I like to design in Indesign a document (businesscard, flyer u.a) and others can edit every released text, imagefields by themself with a free online Indesign Editor or with API, Google Sheet or Airtable Database.
So if a new employee comes a other team without indesign can edit the business card or the campagne design with new images and textes. It should be possible to export Print-PDF and PNG/JPG for online campagnes.1 vote -

Add snippets to CC libraries
I often have several items grouped together with a text box (like a png image used as a background for a textbox). I often need to use that group multiple times, so I usually make snippets out of them so I can easily place the whole group repeatedly. It would be FANTASTIC if I could store snippets in the CC library. I don't even really bother using CC libraries most of the time because the thing I most often need to place between documents are snippets.

Place Linked IDMS
It would be awesome if we could link a IDMS file or be able to add a InDesign file to CC Libraries and be able to place that into another InDesign file. This would be great for reusing pieces of text or layout that occasionally gets updated in multiple documents. When place the IMDS there could be an option to keep the link so if the version in the library is updated so is the placed version or to place a copy that does not stay associated with the one in the Library.
I know it is possible to place…

Make Extracted Shapes 'smarter'
Extract Shapes in InDesign is in essence a good idea, but with a bad execution.
And it has been like that (not so smart, that is) since its inception as the original Shapes app or even now within the Capture app for mobile.In stead of yielding a directly editable vector based result (with an Illustrator signature) it creates a purely black and white 'graphic' file format, which still needs a lot of handling to e.g. change the color of its vectors.
Suppose I'd like to use the traced outlines of a flower, or the extracted rough structure of bricks,…

aic
Please Make it possible for InDesign to read aic-files, since it is a huge part of working with InDesign to Place ai-files
.
There can be a lot of ways to do that.
The easiest way is just to allow InDesign to open the "gate" to the "cloud-folder" and read it from there, since it is already done from Illustrator and Photoshop.
another way could be th make a "ghost-file" in the local CC-folder that shows a mirror or links to the file from there.And there is possibly a lot of other opportunities aswell.
I just don't understand that…

CC Library - PARENT SLIDES
Being able to drag and drop parent slides from CC would save me considerable time going back and forth when a look has been altered in e.g. company templates.

Allow option for Stock ID in links panel
I would like an easy way to get a list of Stock IDs from my links panel. The stock file names are very impractical to deal with, and often I need to links of the stock images Im using to clients.

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 -
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.

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"

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.
