Soft version of "Update Table of Contents"
If there is a Table of Content, with some correction in it (for example line breaks) and after that, there is a small correction in the content area, which followed by loosing one page. Therefore it would be great, to just update the Page-numbers, instead updating the whole ToC.
(sorry for bad english)

Static Endnotes
I need a possibility to turn off the automatic endnote function that appears in InDesign CC 2018. It may be practical for some applications, but it greatly impedes the flexibility of many designs. Can someone tell me if this is possible – the endnotes don't need to be dynamic for my purposes. The way they were imported when placing a Word document in ID CC 2017 was fine.
Richt now, the only way I know to work around it is to use Peter Kahrel's footnote to endnote script.57 votesHello All,

Hey there,
i wish i could lock color fields / color groups to prevent any resulting sources of error.
For example a fixed logo color which shouldn't be different.
Kind regards and big thanks!

Removal/editing of the dumb "When in doubt, make a layout" line.
God, that's such a stupid thing to see every time I open InDesign. How about a checkbox for "Hide greeting message"?

Align to page when only one object is selected
It would be helpful if the align command defaulted to align to page when only one object is selected. There is no risk of confusion as an object cannot be aligned with itself :)
This would remove a lot of unnecessary switching back and forth in the align options, as the default use case at least for me is align to selection.

Appearance Panel in Properties window
In the properties window, every-time I open the fill in the appearance panel I have to open any swatch folders, it would be good if it remembered which folders were open so I don't have to open each time. Also, would be handy to have the switch from Text to Frame as icons to the left of that panel, then it's just one selection rather than two.

mobile application
I have been looking at switching to a mobile first workflow for a while now and technology is starting to catch up, which I am super excited about! One thing that seems to be missing is a replacement for InDesign so that I don't have to rely on my Macbook for creating the kinds of documents that you can create in InDesign. It would need to be modernized and have an improved workflow that would be enhanced by the nature of mobile computing devices. I would love to see Adobe get something like this out there soon!

Multiple paragraph/character style sheets
When selecting more than one paragraph of text that therefore uses multiple paragraph styles, instead of saying (mixed) at the top of the styles palette, it would be really helpful if it could highlight which actual paragraph styles were in use. 'Multiple' is of no use - I can see there are multile styles just by looking at it!

Add run-in footnotes
Add run-in footnotes, so multiple footnotes could be on the same line to save space (instead of every footnote starting on a new line)

Have Type Colour always available to select/change
Please can we have the Type Colour always available to select and change, rather than being hidden secondary to the Fill Colour.
e.g. why is the Type Colour not in the Character panel like Photoshop has.
why is the Type Colour in the main horizontal Control Panel not NEXT to the Fill Colour? ... Why do you have to click Fill Colour then T then select the Type Colour??? ... the same for the Swatches Panel - why is the Type Colour secondary to the Fill Colour.The same problem also goes for Stroke colour ... why can't the Stroke…

Allow footnotes start not on the same page as their marker
Indesign is strictly forcing the rule that a footnote should start on the same page where its footnote reference is located. While this is usualy helpful, sometimes it creates problems like large white areas or even complete inability to layout the text.
See for example the images below. Image 1 shows how indesign can't put any text and leaves white pages - actually the layout stops here and no text is viewable on next pages.
Image 2 shows the reason: there are 2 footnote markers on the same row, both with long texts on the footnotes. so when the text…14 votes -
New document window of Indesign CC 14.0.1
Make the new document tabs (Recent, Saved, Print, Web, Mobile) movable.
I used the saved tab all the time and its frustrating to see recent tab show up as default. It would be nice to have an option of which tab you want to show first as default.3 votes -

(rather than 'heavy' and 'regular italic' or 'oblique' etc) so that we can use shortcuts to apply them

PDF - importing Enhancement in Draging

Auto disable Preview when saving data merged file
When previewing a data merged file, you can't save it as you get an error message saying you need to disable the preview. Why can't it do it automatically, allowing you to save. It's slightly annoying!

Please allow placed PSD layer blend modes to carry over into InDesign
We build 2-layer Photoshop files for product images. Top layer is product image set to NORMAL blend mode. Bottom layer is shadow of product set to MULTIPLY blend mode. When placed in InDesign the shadow layer does not carry over multiply blending. It knocks out anything under it in InDesign file. Our work around is placing two copies of the PSD file on top of each other. We then have to set the bottom image to Multiply with top layer turned off in Object Layer Options. Then the top image needs to have shadow layer turned off in Object Layer…
