Please restore the "Paragraph styles: Edit All Export Tags" option to Keyboard Shortcuts
Possible to restore the "Paragraph styles: Edit All Export Tags" option to Keyboard Shortcuts? It is not present in InDesign 2025.
Would be so much easier than opening that command through the Paragraph Styles panel each time.

I would love it if InDesign could read sidecar files - xmp.
I create digital scrapbooks. I edit my pics locally in Lightroom - they are mostly jpgs. These are usually specific copies of images I have exported from Lightroom solely for the purpose of going in the scrapbook. The local edits all have xmp files because they have been previously exported. I don't want to have to save them again - I'm talking hundreds of photos spanning years. Hours spent on edits now I have to go back and re-save / export them all. It would be fantastic if InDesign just read the xmp file and brought them in with the…

Ability to change the DEFAULT setting for Object Layer Options to 'Use PDF's Layer Visibility'
Offer a way (ideally in preferences) to change the default setting in Object Layer Options for "When Updating Link" to be set to either 'Keep Layer Visibility Overrides' OR 'Use PDF's Layer Visibility'.
At present it always defaults to 'Keep Layer Visibility Overrides,' and adjustments have to be made manually.

Right-Click to Duplicate Page Directly on the Canvas
Currently, duplicating a page in InDesign requires navigating to the Pages panel, locating the desired page, right-clicking, and selecting "Duplicate spread." This process, while functional, adds unnecessary steps—especially in documents with many pages.
Proposed Enhancement:
Enable users to right-click directly on a page in the workspace to access the "Duplicate Page" option.Why this matters:
Faster workflow: Eliminates the need to open and scroll through the Pages panel.
More intuitive: Mirrors how users interact with objects and text frames—directly on the canvas.
Reduces friction: Especially helpful for designers working on large or complex documents.
This small change could significantly streamline…2 votes -
Integrate Optical Margin Alignment into Paragraph tab
Currently, the Story tab is a standalone tab, offering only one checkbox: the Optical Margin Alignment option. This functionality, in my opinion, is closely related to paragraph adjustments, such as paragraph alignment within text boxes. Given its nature, it seems more intuitive and efficient to integrate Optical Margin Alignment within the Paragraph tab or the main text formatting panel.
Adding the Story tab to my workspace alongside essential tabs like Character, Paragraph, and various styles consumes more horizontal screen space than necessary. Once positioned next to other panels, the tab's label, "Story," becomes difficult to read due to the limited…

AI agent for remembering text content style
I often work with instruction manuals that have been poorly translated, and I need to reword them so they read clearly and professionally. A lot of the content is similar across different jobs, and I’d like to stay consistent with how I’ve written things in the past without having to dig through old files manually.
It would be great if InDesign had an AI agent that could:
Learn my style and remember my text preferences (e.g. whether I use “kg” or “KG”).
Automatically reference past projects so I don’t have to copy/paste from older manuals and allow me to ask…

Make Paste Remembers Layers the Default
Make 'Paste Remembers Layers' the default. By default this is an option that must be selected, but this should be the default behavior. You will note the number of suggestions on this very forum for this feature that already exists. There is never going to be an occasion under which I do not want to paste to the original layer, and I often want to copy and paste multiple objects on different layers. However, this feature is well hidden in the layers panel menu options, disabled by default. Moreover 'Paste in Place' should likewise be the default. When would it…

Option for Share for Review (in browser) to view both resolved and unresolved comments at the same time
It would be really helpful for users commenting on a Share for Review document in browser to be able to see the resolved and unresolved comments at the same time, as opposed to either one or the other.
There is repeated confusion from people adding comments which had already been added and resolved. This could be easily fixed by adding an extra 'unresolved' tag within the filter list.

Página Principal (Maestra) aplicada automáticamente
Hola desarrolladores,
¿No sería genial que InDesign pudiera aplicar automáticamente una Página Princpal cada vez que detecte un estilo de párrafo en particular?
👉 Ejemplo: en la apertura de cada capítulo aplicamos el estilo de párrafo “Título capítulo”. Si InDesign pudiera reconocer ese estilo y asignar de forma automática la página maestra correspondiente, se ahorraría tiempo y se reducirían errores.
Esta función simplificaría muchísimo nuestro trabajo en documentos largos como libros, manuales o revistas.
Espero puedan conciderarla.

find pasted graphics
Have a way to search for pasted graphics and to export them to be able to link them. I would like preflight to identify and let me know if the document contains pasted graphics. And, it would be great to export the graphic and link it.

[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.

Please remove the text (GPU Preview) in the name tabs.
They take up needed space if you have several files open. I know I can turn it off if I turn off GPU but would rather not.

Add macOS Core Image Filters as Native Object Effects in InDesign (e.g., Vibrancy, Gaussian Blur, Glass Distortion)
Please add support for macOS Core Image filters (e.g., CIGaussianBlur, CIVibrancy, CIBloom, CIGlassDistortion) as native, real-time object effects within InDesign. These filters are already GPU-accelerated and supported natively by macOS. Tapping into this framework would allow InDesign to offer real-time visual effects like frosted glass, material-style blurs, and ambient glow — without the need to pre-render images in Photoshop.
For designers: Effects like vibrancy, translucency, blur, and light diffusion are increasingly common in modern design — not just in UI/UX, but in packaging, promotional layouts, and publication work. These are time-consuming to fake using raster-based workarounds. Having real-time effects within…

page sorter
When I'm working on a long document, it's very hard to find a specific page that I know the look of, but don't know the page number to. And trying to move pages around is also ver hard in the small Page panel.
It would be nice to be able to switch views in the main document window/panel to something that looks like the slide sorter on Microsoft Powerpoint. Where the thumbnails of each page isn't as small as they are on the Pages panel and there is a much larger screen real estate to sort through the pages.
