New utility feature called: "Move Link(s) To...".
It would be great to have another utilities feature called: Move Link(s) To...
Ideally it would function the same as Copy Link(s) To... but instead of copying it would just move the files.
This would allow for a cleaner file setup where you can move all your files from a document into one location without packaging and having the files as duplicates on your computer.

[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.

A preference option to skip all tours
Tour popups about History Panel and Hide Spreads fonction appears about once a day. This seems like a small detail but no, it is annoying. Thank you.

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 -
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 -
It would be fantastic to have an AI agent built into InDesign which would check spelling, grammar and fact check text data.
It would be fantastic to have an AI agent built into InDesign to check spelling, grammar and fact-check text data such as name spelling, dates etc. This would be a huge improvement.

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.

GUIDES and View Outlines / Zoom
Would these small implementations be possible in Indesign?
GUIDES
- Creation of guides from Paths (as it works in illustrator)
- Possibility to move guides eg: 30°VISUALIZATION
- Possibility to have the display in Outlines (as in illustrator), It seems a stupid choice but it is often useful for selecting points and objects ...
I think that with the GPU acceleration just implemented this function would be feasible.ZOOM: Couldn't you increase the Zoom I don't know 8000% / 16000% ?? 64000%??????

Option to Set Default Save Location for AI-Generated Content to Project Folder in InDesign
Thank you for introducing the new AI-powered image generation feature in InDesign.
I would like to suggest an improvement to the way AI-generated content is stored. Currently, these assets are saved by default to the local user folder, which can become problematic when multiple team members need to collaborate on a project. Since the assets are not stored within the shared project folder, this can lead to missing files or confusion when the document is opened by someone else.It would be highly beneficial to have an option that allows users to set the default save location for AI-generated content…

Typographer’s quotation marks need to be the default.
I have been using Indesign since maybe 2006. There is an item called “typographer’s quotes” and that is still present in the latest version. It should have been removed years ago. They are quotation marks. The default ones are the glyph for “inch”. This is a relic from the typewriter keyboard where there was only one key for both. Please amend asap.

Long Paths support in Windows
As in all Adobe programs, LONG PATH SUPPORT in Windows must be implemented at the manifest level, according to Microsoft's own guidelines (SOURCE: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry):
<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<windowsSettings xmlns:ws2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings">

Advanced GREP Substitution Based on Content Structure
Enhance the GREP search-and-replace functionality to allow targeting specific components within a content structure (e.g., tags, glyphs, or partial patterns) without altering the entire matched string. This would enable more precise and context-sensitive text manipulation.

Understanding Computer Transformers: The Backbone of Modern AI
In the realm of artificial intelligence, transformer models have emerged as a groundbreaking innovation. Introduced in the 2017 paper "Attention Is All You Need" by researchers at Google, transformers have fundamentally changed how machines process sequential data, such as language and images .
The Architecture of Transformers
At the core of transformer models lies the self-attention mechanism. This allows the model to weigh the relevance of different parts of the input data dynamically, enabling it to capture context more effectively than previous models like recurrent neural networks (RNNs) . Transformers consist of encoder and decoder components, which process input data…1 vote -
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…1 vote -
Save sections
Would it be possible to create an option to Save As a selection of pages. I create books and have to divide the into sections when I"m finished all the pages. Example: A 192 page book. Save As Pages 5-48 only.

Need more options in the links panel.
Would like to select a group of links and do a group replace without having to do them 1 at a time. Or even better, select a group of links and group replace them with a SPECIFIC PAGE of a PDF (without doing one at a time).
I do a lot of design for print. Think of a page with 24-up business cards. This would be so helpful with something like that.1 vote -
How to make the current font point to sorted position in the font list? Instead of the recent list.
When I close the recent fonts list and view the fonts used for certain characters, it points to the font's middle position in the list.
But when you open the recent fonts list, it points to the most recent list. Sometimes this gives me a choice to get stuck. Because, sometimes I need to reselect the font down or up near the original font.
Yes, the recent list is sometimes more convenient. But sometimes it's not the most needed.
Now, I want to keep the recent list, but when I want to see the currently used font, I want it…

Option to save GenAI expanded files in different locations.
I like to save all associated files with individual jobs. It keeps thing together as the company uses a job number system for each Job (like a lot of Design companies in UK).
At the moment, InDesign saves everything in Documents > InDesign GenAI Assets Folder including all alternative AI options. The option to choose where to save the AI files would be great.
Also... 300dpi images would be amazing!
