In Find/replace be able to find specifically an upper or lower case version of the search
Several fonts have kerning issues. Specifically capital Y and lower case o like in words such as You. The Yo tends to look like Y ou. Lowercase usually looks fine. The request is to be able to find specifically a cap or lower case version of a letter or group of letters. In the Y o example putting a negative tracking on the Y will make it once again look like Yo without having to find and fix in excess of 80 You, yours, etc. per file.

Update text box design so that the middle bottom anchor point isn't almost always hidden by "Explore more text options" / "O" icon
The text box needs an update. I can almost never adjust the size of my text boxes from the middle bottom anchorpoint, butcause the "O" icon for "Explore More Text Options" is on top of it or near enough to it that I can't select the anchorpoint. I need to be able to resize text boxes from the bottom middle anchorpoint. Adjusting the size with the bottom right anchorpoint isn't a usually a good option because the width will change slightly.
Fix this issue by moving the O icon away from any anchorpoints outside of the box somewhere.

Stop requiring a resave of documents in new InDesign versions
I would love it if the Adobe team would figure out a way to have new versions of InDeisgn not require a resave of previously created documents. This is probably THE most annoying feature of using this software. It is not user friendly when you have developed a working method on updating documents month to month, only to be prompted to save the file before any other processes can be performed. I can't tell you how many documents I have "Saved" to my desktop when I thought I was exporting them to PDF. Please fix. Annoying!!

Side by Side Page View
When using Adobe InDesign, it would be helpful for certain documents to be able to see two pages side by side. As of now, a simple two-page document has page two appearing below page one.

Stop exporting <Sect> tags
Please make InDesign stop exporting <Sect> tags for every text frame. We don't need these tags, and they interfere with accessibility.
We need more control over how our content exports to the tag tree. We only need to see our content under the articles <Art> tag.
We have to remove every single <Sect> tag to make our PDFs truly accessible.

Interactive forms in Indesign
Find it important to have the Acrobat-form options mirrored in Indesign. e.g. "save the document" is not available. at the moment every form needs to be reworked in Acrobat, leaving lots of space for failures and mistakes.

Arrange features
I've been frustrated with the new way dragging a document tab to make it a seperate window forces it into a split screen first, and then I have to grab the tab again and the second time it actually makes it a new window. I'd like to be able to toggle that feature on and off (I'm sure it works for someone's workflow). Additionally, the document window edges often hides under the menu and/or below the edge of my screen. This is frustrating because it makes it hard to scale the window if the right hand corner we're meant to…

Tool to review for performance issues
It would be great if there was a tool similar to preflight that reviewed documents for potential performance issues and not just errors. Like if one link is massive and slowing everything down, if a table is causing issues, or especially if a hyperlink is going to open another document to get to hyperlink info (sidenote: copying hyperlinks from other documents is a nightmare, why does it default to opening the other indd file instead of just copying the link info?).

Create a filter to see/use only ONE font language within font option cascades
A request to Adobe: Include an option in the "font filter" to turn on/off each language of fonts. Adobe still offers a multitude of foreign fonts for its cloud-based software that cannot be turned off in the cascade of font options, eating up space and simply slowing down work flow for those of us who speak and work in one language. Please please fix this. "Noto" font options, in particular, requires a few pages of scrolling to get past EVERY TIME I browse for a new font to use.

Adding new layers to a PSD shouldn’t reset all instances
I really hate it when I’m working with a layered PSD file in InDesign where I have different layers of the image turned on and off throughout a layout and then if I edit the PSD and add any new layers, when I come back to InDesign, instead of just updating the layers that were turned on, it resets every instance of that PSD and I have to manually go and turn all of the specific layers back on/off for each instance. Why can’t it be smart enough to keep the layers on that were on and just update like…

Add a note for paragraph and character styles
Add a text field (doesn't need to be really long, maybe 255 characters?) to allow users to make notes about their styles!

An actually useful AI idea: Accessibility/Reading Order
I find many AI features unhelpful - if I need text to image I can do it in Photoshop or Express, I don't need my layout program to do it. What I would love to see AI do is be able to analyze documents and automatically fix accessibility issues, such as reading order and export tagging of headers etc.

We want the IDKL back.
It should be possible again, that a InDesign Document is locked, when somebody opend it. It's really annoying, when more then one person can open the same InDesign Document.

Preview Checkbox for Polygon Tool
I'd love to see a preview checkbox added to the Polygon Tool.
When you click on your artboard with the Polygon Tool selected, some options come up to make adjustments to the shape. It's difficult to know how your changes to these settings is adjusting the resulting shape without a preview tool.

Lossless GIFs, Further Customizable Shapes, Added Photoshop Tools, Improved Publish Online
My wish is that InDesign is bolstered with all the presentation design features necessary to compete against Canva / Figma / ReadyMag / Google Slides. Here are just a few suggestions:
GIFs (or any media) should not revert to it's original form when published online. GIFs with rounded corners, GIFs filling shapes, GIFs blended with other layers - should have all the same editing effects as a still image.
All preset shapes should be able to be adjusted smoothly and intuitively into others - and still capable of being filled with imagery / text.
PLEASE add more of photoshop's design…

Regarding the InDesign file font pointing confusion: Wish Adobe would provide 3 options.
Regarding the InDesign file font pointing confusion:
Wish Adobe would provide 3 options.
I receive InDesign files from a lot of different people when I'm actually working.
Although they are all packaged and given to me later, they also copy all the fonts into the Documents Fonts directory.
However, when I open them, some of the fonts in the files do not point to Documents Fonts, but to the “C:windows\fonts” directory, and the fonts have changed and become different from the previous one, and sometimes they are not even prompted.Some of the fonts I have on my computer may…

It is recommended that “GREP”, “Shortcuts”, “PDF preset templates” in the directory can be quoted in the directory shortcuts.
Just as I can copy the shortcut to my script directory (D:\myscript) to the InDesign script directory (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign 2024\Scripts\Scripts Panel\Samples), I can use my existing scripts without having to copy them to this location. I can use the existing scripts without copying them to this location.
Just copy “myscipt.lnk” to Samples.For example, these locations, of course it would be nice to add these to the preferences to be able to import and export, that would be more convenient.
The benefit of course, is that you don't have to worry about losing these files, because it's just shortcuts…1 vote
