Home icon is a pain
Very often when I need to click on the File menu I clicking on the Home icon instead, which is useless for me and I'm going to the Home screen on InDesign instead of making the routine operations in File menu.
Can you move that Home icon somewhere else? For instance, can you move it after the Help menu or can you allow to change its position in Settings?

Placed pdfs lose accessibility and all the tags have to be re-created
When I import or place my pdfs and then export my indesign file all the tags disappear in the exported pdf. This is really annoying as all the tags have to be created again.
Get my tags back , all the accessibility tags which the pdf had before.13 votes -
Detect metric system and offer A4, millimeters
It's pretty simple to detect the user country via the OS, so it would be very handy to start indesign with A4 and millimeter units, instead of letter and inches.
Currently, having a fresh install of inDesign, the default page size is letter. To start a new document with A4 is cumbersome. Not good at all, considering that the biggest part of the world uses the metric system and A-sized pages.
Forcing imperial units has no benefits at all, it only annoys the users outside US and Canada.

Add a "Clear All Alerts" button option to Background Tasks utility
Sometimes I need to export files at a different setting to my ICC profiles setting and I have to clear the alerts after I have exported. It's very frustrating when I am exporting multiple times that I then have to select each individual file before deleting. Can we not have a "Clear All" option for multiple alerts, please? It would save lots of time when deleting.

MacBook Pro Special Characters
When using the newer MacBook Pro series, we are able to use special characters like e-diaeresis by simply holding our 'E' button and there will pop up a menu where we can then choose to select the preferable character.
Would love to see this! I have added an screenshot for clarification.

Export All Comments
Hello,
I would like to request the ability to export all comments, whether from pins or drawn shapes, made on documents on assets.adobe.com. Once files are moved off of Creative Cloud, all comments are lost, so it would be great to be able to save comments for posterity prior to files being archived somewhere else.
Thank you.

iXBRL tagging - annual reports - ESEF reporting
New regulations in Europe means that from 2020 all financial reports must be produced with XBRL tagging. InDesign is the single most used layout software for producing annual reports, but will be useless for the purpose without a solution for tagging.
Are you working on a solution to this considerable challenge?

Integration for Bengali (Bangladesh) Hunspell spellchecker
For years I've been using my own Bengali (Bangladesh) hunspell spellchecking dictionary in InDesign, and I wish it was just integrated into the software. I'm the author of it and I'd be happy to provide it to InDesign. But alongside this it would be nice if the process of adding new hunspell dictionaries was easier, if it didn't need to be redone after every update; and currently it doesn't even work.

External (Global) Styles — (Paragraph, Character, Table, etc) to sync and apply to multiple documents
It is constantly frustrating that every year Adobe fails to update InDesign with external Style functionality.
It should be easy to define a set of Paragraph Styles and apply that as "Global Style" which can then be used
across multiple InDesign files. Updating a "Global Style" would then apply those Style changes to all affected documents.This should apply to all things that can have styles applied, Table, Object, Paragraph, Character, etc. Any of these different styles should be able to be saved to an External Global Style — that can be then saved externally locally — or saved to the…

PDF Tag Preview
PDFs have to be tagged properly for ADA compliance. It would be nice to be able to preview (in InDesign) what the tag structure will look like when exported to PDF. This would prevent having to return to the source file if there is inappropriate nesting of tags, incorrect tags, etc. This would be especially helpful with complicated (multi-level) lists.

Link comments to text as well as to physical location in graphics frame
This could be viewed as a bug report, from the user's perspective. And I am a user and not a coder or designer for ID (though I am a UX dweeb.) However, from a coder/designer standpoint, this is a feature request, thus posting here rather than as a bug.
The feature is to link comments not to an x,y location on a spread, but to (1) an x,y location within a graphics frame, or (2) for a text frame, to specific text in that frame. Linking to text can be by highlighting the text and then attaching a comment to…

a separate panel for overrides on character or paragraph styles
The 'hover over the style' trick to display what the override is, doesn't work consistently.
I separate info panel would speed up my work flow immensely.1 vote -

More options for importing text styles
Please add extra options (in the screenshot), the two I would mostly love is only keep bold and italic styles.
Have a lot of text every day to import from word, with lots of bold and italic noted words.
I think a lot of people would love this feature!
