1. Adding a Table tab to the Find/Change dialogue box

   It will be very useful adding to the Find/Change dialog box a new tab for controlling the table and cell by the all options and settings available.

2. disable launch image

   Disable Launch Image
   I do not think the launch images in photoshop, indesign and illustrator are culturally sensitive. They should not include any people especially not raunchy females. They should be totally neutral - landscapes, nature, no people please!!

3. Integrate Adobe Express/Canva-like features into Indesign

   So Adobe Indesign has some BASIC animations and I feel this is a completely missed opportunity on Adobe's behalf. Apps like Canva have been spreading like wildfire for years and while Adobe has released Express it is a poor cousin. The idea behind Express/Canva is to have an easy-to-create, templated video/animated solution for social media (which let's face it, is mostly video now), yet as a very heavy InDesign user I should be able to animate and export these animations while also taking advantage of the powerful mail merge (text, images, and it really needs to also have swatches), bulk relinking, dynamically updating files features that we all know and love within the adobe suite.

   What I would love to see included in Indesign

   1/ export of animation in mp4 and gif (including transparency) formats.

   2/ Improved Animation (on a page and page transitions)

   3/ Additionally, the use of MOGRTs or being able to make your own custom animations with placeholders would be amazing.

   Why Adobe Express doesn't work

   • Creative Cloud Library files are not dynamic, which means having to upload every single element you want to use (for me that's around about 50 every month - same templated files, different theming).

   • These files are already on my computer and such a waste of time and resources to upload and replace each image when it's already on my computer. I may as well use Canva which has much more variety.

   • Also limited in animations

   Why Photoshop/After Effects/Premiere doesn't work

   • it lacks the ease to mailmerge multiple items so relinking is arduous

   Why in5 doesn't work

   • it's limited (gifs are created by screen recording in your browser so it cannot do transparent gifs)
   • it's expensive and limited

   I know a lot of people think that animation and InDesign are in the past, but if you look at businesses that have basically made a multimillion-dollar business out of that base premise I guarantee you will see they have a bright future together.

4. PLEASE give us a HISTORY panel in InDesign

   It would make life so much easier for us to have a HISTORY panel. Photoshop does a fabulous job with this and I sorely miss it in InDesign. Yes, I know I can CTRL/Z, but the problem with that is that this is difficult to negotiate on a long document with many changing elements. It is very hard to remember just where I changed a style, or exactly which changes InDesign is making with each CTRL/Z. It is also very time consuming and it would really be a huge help with my workflow and save me a lot of time if this feature was available.

5. Page Layout Management in Bridge for InDesign Files

   It would be extremely beneficial to have a feature in Bridge that can interact with InDesign files, allowing for the visualization of individual pages directly within the Bridge interface. Furthermore, the ability to compose an overall layout for a magazine or book from separate pages in Bridge, or another similar software, would significantly improve the workflow for many users.

   This feature could save us countless hours, improve collaboration between teams, and potentially revolutionize the way we create composite pieces.

   I look forward to hearing from you on this suggestion.

7. Cross-check links used on both ways

   Hi, the idea is to be able to check the links that a certain file (let's call file A) is being linked to.

   The file A can be used as a link on files 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.... so when I open file 1 and go to the links panels I can see my file A listed there. Right? But not the other way around, such as we can't see the files (1,2,3...) in which that one file (file A) is linked to unless we go one by one (1,2,3...). Would be great to have a link to and linked at panel, to see it both ways.

10. Real time Collaboration on a single file

    Problem:
    If DIFFERENT USERS need to work on the same file AT THE SAME TIME.

    Goal:
    Two or more users working on real time on the same file.

    Currently:
    they need to save a copy of the parent file and then merge them into one unified file.

    Solution:
    With this new feature, only elements touched by each user would be locked for the rest. By saving the document would mean to release all objets and send updates to be visible to everyone.

    This is really important to create solid workflows and to avoid potential mistakes while merging files if two different users have been working from a parent document.

11. Export Image Metadata and Keyword contents contained within any image when exported as a .PNG file

    Export Image Metadata and Keyword contents contained within any image when exported as a .PNG file. Why should the metadata and keyword contents embedded in an image file be wiped when exported as a .PNG File>. AS the need for transparent PNG files needed for AR experiences becomes more critical for use in Aero and other AR environments, the metadata should travel with any export from INDD

12. Locked Content — Functionality Request

    SUBJECT — Locked Content on InDesign Pages

    • InDesign — version 17.3

    This request applies to when an InDesign page has locked content — in other words, when multiple text boxes and image boxes and other page elements are all locked.

    • When an InDesign page has multiple text boxes and image boxes that are locked, often enough I want to access only one of the locked text boxes to make a simple change to the text.

    • Currently, in order to access that textbox to make the change, the quickest way I've found requires me to unlock the ENTIRE page and make the change — and then, in order to lock the text boxes and image boxes again, I have to select all those boxes AGAIN and re-lock them.

    • The functionality of a previous version of InDesign was more user-friendly — that older version of InDesign allowed me to simply click on the text box with one of the selector tools and make the simple change to the text, and that text box and all the other text boxes and image boxes would STAY LOCKED — so there was no need to AGAIN have to select the boxes and lock them again after making that one simple change to the text.

    • Can this older and very helpful locked-content functionality be restored and added to InDesign version 17.3 and upcoming InDesign versions? Adding and/or restoring this functionality would make InDesign more convenient, more user-friendly, and less aggravating for your current users, including me.

    Thank you in advance for your consideration of and attention to this request.

14. Create native paths from imported vector

    Convert (simple) imported Illustrator files to native InDesign paths.

    This makes it easy to e.g. convert a logo and make the InDesign document independent of an external graphic.

    (See how After Effects has a function 'Create Shapes from Vector Layer'. https://helpx.adobe.com/nl/after-effects/how-to/convert-illustrator-layers-to-shape-layers.html)

18. Simple text editor for mobile devices

    I would love a simple text editor - something not so function-focused as InCopy. Something where i can be interviewing someone and take down quotes. Or if I'm inspired at a restaurant - to pull out my ipad or my phone and just start writing. And then have that text autosave as a cloud document for when I'm back at my desktop.

    Sort of like Premiere Rush, but just for text. Copy Rush?

19. Accessibility Layer or Plugin

    As accessibility becomes a prioritized feature of all documents, its pertinent to include it without sacrificing aesthetics, which is Adobe's strength. One idea for this is for the designer to create the InDesign document as they normally would on an initial layer, and upon a secondary "layer" the plain text for an e-reader could be supplied, mapped to the corresponding visual layer. This could be a less destructive method than physically altering text box widths to avoid soft returns/rags, or creating new text boxes for each text/paragraph style. It would also export ready to go without further alteration in Acrobat. The "accessible" layer could either be manually placed, OR, through the help of AI be pulled out automatically as the designer adds content. A good example of a similar concept would be audio scripts/summary as an alternative to captions for video content (non-destructive but allows for accessibility) A predecessor to this would be an InDesign Accessibility Checker, but would take it much further to allow the designer to maintain organic, visually pleasing creative while also being sure to comply with accessibility standards.

20. Add shortcut key option to Find/Change functions

    When I'm making lots of changes to a document, I have to use my mouse and click "change" with it to make the change. It would be so much nicer if I could assign shortcut keys to "find next" and "change". This way, I could go through all of my documents and fix the things that are necessary simply by using two keys. Using the mouse this way strains the wrist/fingers on a large project.
