Changing the backgroung/page colour
I would very much like to be able to change the background colour in incopy. For example: a green page colour, with a silverish font colour. (the latter can be done already)
As a writer, I like to work on my own terms. So this would make me love incopy, and not just use it when I need to.1 vote -

Export Book: Option to export documents in book as individual PDFs
When using the book export, it would be wonderful to have the option to export the documents that make up the book as separate PDFs.
This option would be useful whether exporting the entire book to PDF or exporting selected documents to PDF. Metadata embedded in each document of the book would be included in the export to pdf.
For example, I currently create a journal using the book function to pull together and organize the separate INDD files for the cover, TOC, and articles. Once the journal is completed, I need to generate the following PDFs:
- Entire journal as…

Cloud working
A feature for working together on an Indesign document would be great for the year 2019. Similar to Adobe XD Cloud documents, or comparatively like the collaboration of Indesign and Incopy (Check in / Check out) - just cloud based.
I Just want a solution for a group of Designers working on one project without having the trouble of creating a load of documents.
thx

Stop appending the word "folder" to all package folder names
I really really really hate that I have to waste 8 keystrokes (yes, I count the down-arrow to get to the end of the package name) on every single package I make. At least give me the option to change the default suffix.

Diagonal Strikethrough
An upgrade to the existing strike through option with new settings that allow for diagonal lines. I've added a mockup of the character style options.
This would be an awesome little update wich has many uses and make the life of a lot of InDesigners easier.

Custom/favorite zoom
Especially when working on a small laptop while traveling, I like to use a couple of zoom levels that are non-standard, and have to keep retyping the percentages in the bottom left of the screen.
For example, I frequently want to zoom to the width of a page's text frame, not including the margins, which on my current laptop is 100%. That's easy because it corresponds with one of the present zoom levels.
But I also frequently zoom to show a spread's text frames; I don't want to waste my precious laptop screen space on the margins away from the…

Support Excel's Strict Open XML Spreadsheet format
InDesign should be able to Place an Excel file that's been saved as a Strict Open XML Spreadsheet (which appears to be a subset of the normal .xlsx workbook format). Currently, attempting to place an Excel file that's been saved as a Strict Open XML Spreadsheet results in a "Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation" error.
A sample Strict Open XML Spreadsheet file is attached.

Reset to base for one single parameter of a paragraph/character/etc. style
I wish there was an easy way to just reset one specific parameter of a style to base ([ignore]).
For example:
I have paragraph style p2 which is based on p1. I previously overwrote the Font Style of p2 but now I decided to change it back to inherit the Font Style of its base style (p1). It would be nice to have some way to do that only for the Font Style. Not for the Font Family or Size or any other parameter. Maybe by option–, cmd- or right-clicking on the parameter's name...?3 votes -
Name spreads for export
When we export as png or other formats from indesign we always have to rename all our exported pages and spreads. Over and over again if we make changes and export again. Why cant we have the option to give a spread or a page a defined name for export. Example, I always have to rename documentname(15) to banner_560x500 and does this on all 15 exports. Please look into it ❤️

Table of Contents - Allow master page items
To my knowledge, master page items still don't populate the Table of Contents in Indesign without overriding the master page item.
Problem with this is it defeats the purpose of the master page item.
For instance, I have a large manual, in which the chapters are included in a master page layout. The text in the master page item is auto generated using the Special Character - Marker - Section Marker feature, so all I have to do is start a new section in my document.
But the TOC will not take that text from the master page, unless I…

Applying multiple cell styles to a cell
Ability to apply multiple cell style to a cell, for example, I want column 3 to be filled with grey and I want to apply Upper and down stroke which I have cell style for it and column 4 only required upper and down stroke but no fill. Instead of creating multiple keyboard shortcut and multiple cell style i could create one cell style which to fill the cell and then another to but lines.

Add option to ignore images or fills when drag-selecting using Direct Selection tool.
Often dragging a select box over frame corners will pick up interior fills or images and move them when all I want is to move the frame corners or vertices.

Make it obvious in the Page palette when a page dimension has been changed with the Page tool
In a multi-page doc, it is not obvious when the dimensions of individual pages have been changed with the Page tool.
This can waste time or at worst be disastrous if a document at the wrong size is inadvertently sent to print.
I suggest some kind of colour tint or bright border to page thumbnails to clearly identify when a page dimension has changed from the document’s core dimensions.

Find and Search
Perform multiple Find and replace with saved queries. I get a lot of standard documents that require the same find and replace. There isn't a record action button like the other Adobe products so it would be great to have that or run multiple queries at the same time.
