  1. Share for Review - needs added feature

    It would be extremely useful to be able to stop specific reviewers from commenting at a certain point - allowing others to continue. This would allow the wider group in an org. to comment - but then have the ringleader sort through their internal comments, accept them or remove them - then provide me (the designer) with a draft to make my edits from. Right now, people can still comment way after they have been told the commenting time is over.

  2. Allow Share for Review Comments to be Printed or Exported

    I can't believe you can't print or export comments created during a Shared Review. I had a reviewer ask for her comments to keep as a record for the next round of document updates and there is NO FEATURE in the browser, or InDesign that will allow those comments to be printed, PDF'd, or exported (so I could import them into a PDF for permanent archival).

    This is a HUGE missing feature.

    My company archives all comments from InDesign's Share for Review and in some cases I've had them disappear entirely.

    Adding the ability to print those comments to a…

  3. Save and Archive Comments in Share for Review

    Ability to save the comments and replies made in Share for Review as a PDF or excel file. Very similar to how you would be able to save a PDF in acrobat with comments imbedded.

  4. InDesign Review Panel should NOT switch the filter to 'Resolved' when editing text with older resolved comments

    I am often working on documents with multiple review sessions. The problem that occurs since the latest updates of InDesign is that as soon as I put the cursor in a piece of text which previously had a comment attached to it which is resolved, all resolved comments pop up in the comments panel and I cannot see the current comments: all comments are immediately filtered to 'resolved'. Of course I can switch off the filter for resolved comments again, but it switches back again to 'resolved comments' as soon as I start working on the text. This is driving…

  5. Add Find or Search in a document Shared for Review from InDesign

    It is critical that reviewers of our white papers are able to use Find or Search in InDesign documents that are Shared for Review to locate terms and phrases used in the InDesign document.

    I can't believe that Command F or Ctrl F doesn't work in documents that are Shared for Review from InDesign. This does work for documents Shared by Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Pro.

    Why is this not an option when commenting on documents shared by InDesign?

    I can use Edit > Find > Find in Google Chrome to search, but it only searches the COMMENTS, not text…

  6. Share for review for organisation

    Compared to Adobe Illustrator, InDesign does not have the option for internal approval within the organization ("Everyone at your organization can comment").

  7. Make share button neutral

    The new SHARE button is very blue. In Photoshop we have the option to make it interface colored. Same in Illustrator. InDesign dosen't.

  8. Add "insert text at cursor" to Review tools

    Share for Review is great - however why was the "insert text" tool left out of the review tools? I do reviews every day and the 3 most important tools are "delete text", "replace text" and "insert text at cursor" - to know exactly where added text should go. It's part of the PDF commenting tools since forever - why was it left out of this Review function? Please add it, we can't offer this solution to our stakeholders without it.

  9. Reposition feedback-box in shared Indesign document

    It would be useful if you could change the position of the feedback box so that you could make the order logical. Now sometimes the comments are not in the reading order and that makes it unclear.

  10. search

    Make the search bar visible when users press CMD+F (or windows alternative).

    At the moment, when you click to search text on a document that's shared for review, it seems like the search bar doesn't appear. But in reality it's hidden behind the comments panel. You have to close the comments/preview panels to see it.

    This causes a lot of "there's no search bar" comments from users, and we have to specifically tell them now when we share for review "it's hidden. Close this panel".

    The search function should always be visible when someone presses CMD+F.

  12. Copy text from the Indesign Review panel, into my text in my Indesign file.

    I work a lot with the review links, and I can copy text from the webbrowser review panel; but not from the review panel in Indesign itself. Which makes that If I need to copy a piece of text; written by my reviewers, to adjust in the copy of my file, I have to go to the web version of the link, copy there, go back to ID, find the piece of copy I want to adjust and paste it in there. Very time consuming work around.

    Can this be fixed?

  13. Share for Review - Option for reviewers to toggle single page and spread view.

    It would be great if the review online interface had the option to view the project as spreads or as single pages.

    My coworkers who review prefer to make notes/revisions as single pages, but the publications I create are designed as spreads. It's a pain to go through and share as single pages and then move them back to spreads as I work. It would save me from exporting extra PDF samples to show full layouts when there is so much back and forth.

  17. Create PDFs from Share for Review link

    I am on InDesign 2023
    My co-workers and I would love to have an option to create a pdf directly from the review. Sometimes they want to print out the version, and we have to create a pdf for them, so it's twice the work. This is the main reason why some of my co-workers don't like this feature, and it may end up being a reason our MarCom dept. refuses to adopt it as a way to share comments.

  18. Copy and Paste from Review Comments Panel in Id

    As a designer, being able to copy and paste new texts from clients directly from the comments panel is crucial.

    Right now, in order to copy and paste, I have to open up the review link on another screen in order to copy the new text that needs to be replaced.

  19. automatically use comment highlight

    I'm always getting comments without highlights because I forget to select the highlight before I write the comment... it would be great to default to highlight color x every time
