It would be fantastic to have an AI agent built into InDesign which would check spelling, grammar and fact check text data.

Exclude leading words from Table of Contents "alphabetical order".
I'd like to be able to exclude leading words such as "The" from the alphabetical ordering of the listings. We do a festival program each year with a sponsor directory and end up with a hug section under "The" like they're in their own little world at the end of the Table of Contents.

Add "Duplicate" and "Delete" option to Home Page of Indesign
When opening Indesign, the homepage that comes up could include a Duplicate Project button on a right-click menu. This would eliminate the need to open Files separately on my local computer, find the correct file, and copy/paste it there before I can have a duplicate from which to make new version changes. It could also include "Delete" or "Hide" buttons for managing InDesign files.
THis would save me quite a few steps that I need to take outside the InDesign program just to duplicate a project. Thanks!1 vote -
Prioritize Adobe Photoshop in “Edit With” context menu
Currently, InDesign relies exclusively on the operating system’s default application associations when generating the Right-click → Edit With menu for linked images. As a result, users often see irrelevant applications such as Microsoft Edge, Word, or generic photo viewers, while Adobe Photoshop (the natural and professional tool for image editing) does not appear by default.
This workflow inconsistency is counterintuitive for professional users:
InDesign is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem.
Photoshop is the industry-standard editor for images.
Most users expect seamless integration between InDesign and Photoshop, without having to manually browse for Photoshop each time.
Suggested improvement:

The Save a Copy default should be to not overwrite existing copies. Instead it should append a number to the filename of the new copy, the same way MacOS handles file duplicates. Overwriting could be a checkbox in the Save a Copy dialog box.
If it worked this way, I'd have a simple method of keeping versions of my files without having to remember to rename each copy. If there's another way to do this via a script, I'm all ears! Cloud docs are unfortunately not an option for me.

I would love it if InDesign could read sidecar files - xmp.
I create digital scrapbooks. I edit my pics locally in Lightroom - they are mostly jpgs. These are usually specific copies of images I have exported from Lightroom solely for the purpose of going in the scrapbook. The local edits all have xmp files because they have been previously exported. I don't want to have to save them again - I'm talking hundreds of photos spanning years. Hours spent on edits now I have to go back and re-save / export them all. It would be fantastic if InDesign just read the xmp file and brought them in with the…

[ID-4261554] InDesign MacOS Sequoia Window Snapping Feature
I'd appreciate if InDesign would implement window snapping feature as well in macOS Sequoia since all other Adobe apps have this already.

Business
Hi there, a friend recommended Swiss trust when I mentioned I needed better asset protection. Curious, I visited their site and read about how they focus on privacy and safeguarding assets. What really caught my eye was their straightforward process and the emphasis on security. I decided to try their service myself to protect some personal investments, and it felt reassuring to work with a company that clearly knows what they’re doing. The experience was smooth, and I appreciated how they kept everything confidential.

Remove tips, Add an option to turn on/off tutorial mode
Remove tips, Add an option to turn on/off tutorial mode.
InDesign and other adobe apps constantly tell me things that I know about. This is helpful for new users, but annoying for professionals. InDesign is the industry standard and should cater to professionals while having a beginner or tutorial mode for those who are new to it.
It is unacceptable to open a window and show it to me while im working. Multiple times i've pressed ctrl z which brings up a window that says DID YOU KNOW ABOUT DOCUMENT HISTORY. Its not helpful for me personally.

Ability to Name Multiple Check Boxes at Once and Deselect Radio Buttons
I use check boxes frequently to create a multitude of order forms. There are a few requirements they need to meet: Once ticked, they can be unticked, and buttons are grouped so only one option can be selected out of a range. This has become a tedious task as I can only name one check box at a time. I would like the ability to select and name multiple check boxes at once so thye can be easily grouped, this simple change would save so much time.
I also used to use the radio buttons, which does have the option…2 votes -
Why is there no copy filename only option when you right click on an image in the link window?
Never figured it out, was it forgotten or did Adobe feel it wasn't needed?
It's necessary when links are missing and you need to find images.2 votes -
Dynamic Data Merge Updates in InDesign even after Generated
Currently, after completing a data merge, the generated document loses its link to the source Excel/CSV file, making it impossible to update content (like product names or prices) without re-running the entire merge. This becomes a major issue when we've manually added custom pages, layout tweaks, image adjustments, or element placements based on text length—re-merging resets everything.
Suggestion:
Introduce a "Dynamic Merge" option in the Data Merge panel that maintains live links to the CSV/Excel source. This way, users can choose between a static or dynamic output. With dynamic mode, merged fields remain linked and identifiable, allowing easy content updates…2 votes -

Show preflight errors not at the margin of the screen
Preflight is showing the locations of the errors it has found somewhere in the margin of the screen. Sometimes at the top, sometimes at the bottom (see screenshots).
This is a bit annoying when taking a closer look. Any chance to change this to "in the middle of the screen"?3 votes -
Provide Options for Export to Express
Please provide choices when using the export to Adobe Express function. Right now there are none, and I cannot directly export a high resolution, letter-sized, print-ready document into Express without dimension downsizing and image resolution loss.
Having these options via a direct transfer into Express is critical to being able to quickly transfer current Indesign documents into correctly-sized, print-ready, editable templates for use bt non-design users at my organization.

Warn about font managers
Performance problems and crashes are frequently caused by third party font managers calling faulty macOS code that InDesign itself knows to avoid. Move all offending OS calls that end up in a font manager to a separate "sandbox" thread, and alert the user to disable incompatible software when the call does not return.
