How to Win Geometry Dash Lite
Winning in Geometry Dash Lite requires more than quick reflexes—it’s all about rhythm, timing, and persistence. Every level is designed to test your reaction speed and ability to stay calm under pressure. Here’s how you can master it.
Learn the rhythm: Each obstacle follows the beat of the background music. Listening closely helps you anticipate jumps and spikes instead of reacting too late.
Practice in training mode: Use practice mode to memorize tricky sections. Don’t rush—focus on getting the rhythm right before attempting the full level.
Tap lightly and consistently: Over-tapping can ruin your timing. Keep your taps short and…

Feature Request: Apply Paragraph Styles to Non-Contiguous Paragraphs (Ventura Publisher-Style)
Dear Adobe InDesign Team,
I’d like to request a feature that would greatly improve workflow efficiency: the ability to select non-contiguous paragraphs and apply a paragraph style to all of them at once.
This was a standout feature of the early Ventura Publisher, which used a structure-first approach—encouraging consistent use of styles over manual formatting. With Ventura, you could quickly tag multiple scattered paragraphs (like subheads or captions) and assign a style with a single keystroke. InDesign currently requires each paragraph to be styled individually unless using GREP or Find/Change.

Hide Application Home Bar
PLEASE need an option to HIDE the application bar with the Home icon and app version... Such a waste of much needed workspace, and there is absolutely nothing in that bar that enhances my workflow.

custom page numbering
When you want to number the pages differently than the standard correlative, for example with a date system, weekly, monthly... There is no automatic option for the pages to be numbered by day of the week. If in addition to the options 1, 2, 3... 01, 02, 03... a, b, c... i, ii, iii... you add a "custom" with a popup to a list of... for example 20 custom fields (for months, weeks, work groups, jobs...) would be perfect.

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.

Add "Fit Frame to Content" option to Object Styles
Add an "Auto-Size Frame Options" section to Object Styles that would allow the frame to automatically adjust its dimensions to fit the placed content. This feature would be particularly valuable when importing images via XML files for automated catalog production. Thank you

pages rounded corners
There is no way to predict how a project with rounded corners will look, be it a book, business card, flyer... We can create boxes with rounded corners, but we don't have the option to do the same with pages, choose the type, radius...

Scroll through placed multi-page PDFs or InDesign documents within InDesign
Essentially, make the Show Import Options Preview panel directly accessible inside InDesign.
This would save me a considerable amount of time.

Would it be possible to add a link to a watermark? When someone wants to crop out the water mark that it re-appears after its was cropped?

Auto delete imported remarks after accepting them
When importing a pdf with remark/correctionss , its impossible to delete multiple remarks after accepting them. It would be great to have an option that deletes the remark after accepting it. I often have 700 pages books with 3000+ remarks. Indesign becomes soooo slow.

Lockable Panels/Workspaces
Please consider adding an option to lock panel positions within the workspace, preventing accidental movement or rearrangement. This feature would be useful not only in InDesign but across all Adobe Creative Cloud applications for users who want to maintain a consistent and intentional UI layout.

Formatting bullet points
Implement a simpler way to format bullet points in InDesign. For example, in Microsoft Word, you can simply hit Enter and then Tab to create a Tier 2 bullet, with predefined spacing. While I understand the use of character styles, tabs, and paragraph styles for bullets, it often takes me and my colleagues a long time to remember how to format them correctly. I love typesetting, but the bullet formatting always trips me up!

Convert Page Guides to Spread Guides
I would like to suggest a small but highly useful improvement for a future update of InDesign.
Currently, when guides are placed within a single page, there is no built-in way to convert them into spread guides (guides that span across the entire spread), unless they are re-created manually while holding Ctrl/Cmd during placement. This becomes especially frustrating when a layout contains a large number of precisely positioned guides that need to be extended to the full spread — for example, after a reorganization of pages or when switching from single-page to spread layout.

Have the option to use IMAGES for Paragraph: RULES, BORDERS, and SHADING
Paragraph Rules, Borders, and Shading are all great. They are also all: flat, uniform...boring...
Sometimes a layout demands stuff that is more...messy. Clients often ask for 'grungy' effects to highlight specific parts of text, and every designer gets what they mean.
I currently use an anchored image to achieve this, but it's fiddly, and easily broken. It requires scripting or tedious CandP.
Adding an IMAGE option to Paragraph (and Character?) styles would be brilliant. When I'm working on webpages, I'm using 'background' in CSS all the time.

That same flexibility in InDesign (image link, position, size, 9-slicing{?!!}, color modes,…

Option to ignore hidden spreads while auto checking spelling or find/change etc.
There are a few posts surrounding hidden spreads. Perhaps all these could be view as a whole when tackling.
My specific feature request is that automated text editing functions such as Find/Change and Spell check have an option to disregard content on hidden spreads. Currently the checking process for each of these (and possibly others such a replace font etc.) is interrupted by having found object on hidden spreads and requires that they be unhidden to progress. Keeping spreads hidden is not an option as clicking OK to the prompt that pops up ends the checking process.
Also while considering…

Keep active links when placing PDFs in InDesign
When you place a PDF with text and links into an InDesign file, the links are lost when you export the final file to PDF. This happens because InDesign treats the placed PDF as an image, so the links do not stay active. It would be very useful if the links of a placed PDF could remain active when exporting from InDesign to PDF. Thanks

Integrate Optical Margin Alignment into Paragraph tab / Properties Panel
The Optical Margin Alignment sits as a standalone checkbox in the Story Window. It would make much more sense to have this in the Paragraph Widow, and in the Properties Panel. Hyphenation is a check box here, why not have the same thing for hanging punctuation / optical margin alignment?

[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.
