Check GenAI Images in Preflight
Add GenAI images to Preflight profiles. This is especially important since GenAI images default to saving to the user's computer, which is not ideal in a collaborative environment where other users will see broken links.

Make cells split over 2 pages like they do in Word
Please Make cells split over 2 pages like they do in Word. We publish very large books that are updated all the time, having to manually cut cells at every page is an unimaginably heavy work load! And it is wasted work. It has to be redone every edition!

Please create an option in Layout > Table of Contents to "Clear Character Styles" for the "Styles in Table of Contents."
Currently (v19.5 in 2024), any Paragraph Styles used in the "Styles in Table of Contents" carries over any associated Character Styles, which makes a real mess of the ToC Entries. We can manually reapply the ToC style to the entries after updating it, but there should be an option to automatically clear character styles from the Paragraph Styles added to the ToC.

Nesting bookmarks trought multiple files within an InDesign book
I would like to be able to nest bookmarks by creating, for example, a nest of bookmarks in one file and then in another file (which is still part of the book) using the same name assigned to the bookmark nested in the previous file, so that I can continue to insert content within the same nest.
The result would be = 1 large group containing all the bookmarks I am interested in.This could be done by taking a cue from the variant/variable renaming system that currently exists in Figma.
For example, if I want to put the bookmark…

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!

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.
