  1. lowercase icon should match the other text modification icons in the Control Panel

    With InDesign 20.4 the option to lowercase text was added. But the icon in the Control Panel differs from the other icons shown there.

    Please modify it, maybe like I did in the image attached to this feature request:
    red = actual UI
    green = better version

    Of course the icon team of Adobe will make an even better solution than my simply drawing.

  2. Make it possible to customize context toolbar, or just to remove text to image option

    I never need the 'Text to Image' option in the context toolbar, and it's way too easy to click it by mistake. Let users customise the context toolbar.

  3. Make it possible to simply drag an image from Apple Photos into InDesign

    Right now there's many steps required to add an image from Apple Photos to InDesign. You have to download all your images to a folder. Then you have to open the file directory from within the app and search for the image. If you're working with hundreds of images this process is very time consuming and is a real bottleneck.

    What if you could just simply drag and drop? Please make this process easier and more intuitive.

  4. Persistent Tutorial Pop-ups in InDesign

    Dear Technical Support,

    I am experiencing persistent issues with Adobe InDesign, where tutorial pop-ups and annotations for new features continue to appear, even after repeatedly clicking the "Skip" button. This behavior is highly irritating and disrupts my workflow. Could you please advise on how to disable these pop-ups?

  5. In InDesign, you cannot directly customize the right-click context menu to add specific commands like 'Corner Options' or 'Relink Image...'

    In InDesign, you cannot directly customize the right-click context menu to add specific commands I use often — Object functions like 'Corner Options....' or Links functions like 'Relink Image...'. Customization to the right-click context menu like this would help to increase workflow speed for users.

  6. Hanging Punctuation needs to include more characters and be customizable #Optical Margin Alignment

    Many people need more characters to hang when Optical Margin Alignment is turned on than what is provided by default. This panel should have settings to customize from the default. The workaround to add a space before the character you want to hang and then adding a huge amount of negative kerning, works, but seriously that's all we've got? That is not a real solution, nor is it efficient for multiple instances in multiple documents worked on by multiple people every week. The time used fussing with this alignment must add up to dozens of hours per month, just within…

  8. Improve links palette to include AI file color information

    The Indesign Links palette should show the Adobe Illustrator file document color mode so that I can easily verify that art is CMYK without having to open it in Illustrator. Raster images show RGB, CMYK or Grayscale, but AI files currently give no color information. I understand this might be challenging for EPS or PDF files, but AI files have a Document Color Mode that you must be able to parse from the file.

  9. Turn off blue dots in menu

    The blues dots adressing new functions in the menus are distracting. In the preferences menu there could be and option to turn them off.

    It's rather annoying for a seasoned pro user to allways have to click the functions to turn the circle off.

    However, some circles are permanent. We got blue light random places in the menu. It's bad UX with no possibilities to turn them off. Now the UI is getting cluttered in showing off whats new with dots that will not disappear.

  11. Add the ability to color code window tabs and allow custom tab names that are not linked to the actual file name.

    Description:
    The current window tab design in InDesign can become cluttered, especially when working with multiple files that have long names. The tab size automatically adjusts to the length of the file name, which leads to a cluttered workspace, making it difficult to quickly locate and switch between files. I suggest two enhancements:

    The ability to color code window tabs, allowing users to visually differentiate between files at a glance.

    The ability to edit the tab name independently of the file name, so users can give tabs more intuitive or customized names without altering the actual file name. This would…

  12. separations preview - keyboard shortcuts to toggle one channel on and off

    At the moment, the separations preview has the ability to toggle ON an individual channel by using a keyboard shortcut e.g. viewing the Cyan channel only can be done by going cmd + opt + shift + 1. Similar shortcuts can be used for the M Y & K channels as well as 5 spot channels, and all 4 process channels at once. However, they only toggle the separation ON. What would be preferable would be the ability to toggle a channel OFF.

    Here is a use-case: I'm a finished artist inspecting a magazine layout from my designer. They have…

  15. Urgent: Flatplan workflow feature request for InDesign / Bridge (critical for all magazine publishers)

    Hi Adobe team,
    We’re honestly desperate at this point.

    We’ve been trying for weeks to reach someone from Adobe who could even acknowledge this topic — through enterprise support, admin console, chat agents, even our reseller — and it’s absolutely impossible.

    It’s insane that even as an enterprise customer, we can’t reach a real product contact to talk about something so fundamental.
    We’re part of BurdaMedia International (Czech Republic), publishers of ELLE and ELLE Decoration.

    But this isn’t just our pain — it’s something every single magazine publisher still using InDesign is facing.
    There’s simply no native way to plan…

  16. Switching language resets preferences and breaks app recognition in Creative Cloud

    I’m writing as an enterprise customer managing multiple Adobe Creative Cloud licenses across a multilingual team. We frequently switch UI languages and reassign machines, so consistent environment management is essential to maintaining workflow stability.

    When switching InDesign’s UI language through Creative Cloud (for example, from Czech to English), all user-specific settings — workspaces, keyboard shortcuts, export presets, print settings, and scripts — are effectively lost.
    This happens because each language version maintains a separate preferences folder (csCZ, enUS, etc.) with no migration or shared profile mechanism. After changing the install language, Creative Cloud also misidentifies previously installed applications…

  17. Customise the context bar

    The context bar contains functions that I can access much more quickly via a shortcut, so I don't find it useful.
    It would be useful if the context bar functions could be customised.

    Too Much Pain and Harm: InDesign Find Interface Input Boxes with Too Little Font
    If the lookup is simple and short, you may think it doesn't matter.
    But the inner word is a little long, want to modify and need to find half a day.

    Wouldn't it be more comfortable to be able to freely enlarge the font?

  19. Preserve Preview Checkbox Settings

    After upgrades or patches, it would be nice to have the Preview switches in so many various dialog boxes preserved in the ON position.
