1. Feature Request: Adjustment Layers, Like AfterEffects Adjustment layers

   Add an Adjustment Layer feature with user-defined shapes such as rectangles, circles, and custom shapes. Similar to Adjustment Layers in Adobe After Effects, users could apply and control parameters such as blur, hue, saturation, brightness, contrast, and opacity within the defined area.

   This would give designers more flexibility to make localized image adjustments directly in InDesign, allowing them to align and fine-tune visuals within layouts without repeatedly switching to Photoshop for minor edits.

2. mp4 export – create social media post directly from Indesign

   In Indesign hat man alles um sinnvoll layouten zu können und sogar die Möglichkeit einfache Animationen einzubauen. Wieso wird der professionelle Workflow nicht verbessert und ein Mp4 Export direkt in Indesign integriert?
   Wieso soll ich auf Adobe Express oder Canva ausweichen oder Dritthersteller Workaround-Plugins verwenden, um einfache animierte Social Media Posts zu erstelllen. Animate und After Effects sind viel zu kompliziert um z.B. ein Balkendiagramm schnell zu animieren. Indesign kann es ja bereits nur der Export fehlt.

3. Excluding Nested Styles from Table of Contents

   Hi everyone Geometry Dash iSpyWithMyLittleEye

   I’m working on a course catalog with a table of contents, but the nested heading styles from the course descriptions are also appearing in the TOC. How can I exclude these nested styles while keeping the main course titles listed?

   Thank so much!

4. Type Menu - Change Case; would be wonderful if it could have Title Case with the option to not capitalize articles etc.

   Add a true Title Case option that follows standard publishing capitalization rules (e.g., Chicago), rather than capitalizing every word. Articles, coordinating conjunctions, and appropriate prepositions should remain lowercase, with first/last words and other required words capitalized.

   Current InDesign Title Case = Across The Ages
   Actual title case = Across the Ages

5. Hotkey change for space button [WIN] (Middle Mouse Button to pan around)

   Please, after years people demanding this, include a simple option to be able to change or modify the shortcuts for the Space Button (Pan). I for myself would love to add the middle mouse button, like it is in Illustrator to pan around.
   It's frustrating, that this company is absolutely not capable of unifying there basic stuff around all porgrams.

6. Allow Paragraph Borders and Shading to Inherit Text Color, Just Like Paragraph Rules

   InDesign already allows Paragraph Rules to use Text Color as their color source. I would like the same option to be available for Paragraph Borders and Paragraph Shading.

   At the moment, Paragraph Borders and Shading can only use a fixed swatch. This creates unnecessary manual work whenever the text color of individual paragraphs needs to vary while the same paragraph style is retained.

   For example, I am currently working on a publication in which many subheadings share the same typography, spacing, and border treatment, but the client wants different colors for different subheadings.

   Ideally, I should be able to use one paragraph style and simply change the text color of each subheading. The border should then automatically inherit that text color.

   Instead, I currently have to either:

   • manually change both the text color and the paragraph border color every time, or
   • create multiple nearly identical paragraph styles solely for different colors.

   Neither approach is efficient, and the second one unnecessarily complicates the style structure of the document.

   This becomes especially problematic in long documents or client-driven projects where colors may change frequently during revisions.

   A [Text Color] option in the Paragraph Border and Paragraph Shading color menus would solve this elegantly.

   The desired behavior could simply follow the existing logic already used by Paragraph Rules. In other words, this is not necessarily a new color-management concept for InDesign—it would be an extension of functionality that already exists elsewhere in the application.

   There was already a similar request posted several years ago, but this workflow limitation still exists in current versions of InDesign. I believe it is worth reconsidering because it would make paragraph styles substantially more flexible, especially for publications that use repeated structural styles with variable colors.

   Suggested implementation:

   Paragraph Style → Paragraph Border → Color → [Text Color]

   and

   Paragraph Style → Paragraph Shading → Color → [Text Color]

   This would allow designers to maintain a clean, reusable paragraph-style system without having to duplicate styles or manually synchronize decorative colors with text colors.

7. QR Code Pallet

   Qr Codes should have their own Workspace Pallet with at least the same options as the QR Monkey site.

   I used to use the PatternMaker plugin for InDesign, and it was so much more convenient to to have that pallet than it is to fumble through the menus every time I need a new one.

   Plus, PatternMaker placed the QR Code into an existing image box, so I didn't have to cut/paste the newly made code into the text flow of my 1000 page catalog.

8. Add Keep With Previous/Next Rows to Cell Styles

   It is often necessary to keep a subtotal row together with one or two preceding rows, or to keep a subtitle/header row together with one or two following rows.
   This is already possible manually via the Keep With option in Cell Options, but having it available as a Cell Style option would make table formatting much more efficient and consistent.

10. Allow “Use for Tagging Order in Tagged PDF” to be enabled by default in the Articles panel.

    The Articles panel already includes the option “Use for Tagging Order in Tagged PDF,” but there does not appear to be a way to make this setting enabled by default for new documents.

    For accessible PDF workflows, this creates repetitive manual work because the setting has to be turned on for each new file. It also increases the risk that the setting may be missed before exporting a tagged PDF.

    Please add a preference or document default that allows users to keep “Use for Tagging Order in Tagged PDF” enabled automatically for new files.

11. Ability to create a semicircle shape quickly and easily

    One feature I would really like to see added to InDesign is the ability to create a semicircle shape quickly and easily. At the moment, I haven't been able to find a straightforward way to make a perfect semicircle without relying on workarounds, manual adjustments, or creating the shape in another application first.

    Having a dedicated semicircle tool or shape option would make the design process much more efficient, especially for layouts, infographics, diagrams, logos, and other projects that frequently require partial circular shapes. While InDesign offers a variety of shape tools and path-editing features, creating a precise semicircle can still be unnecessarily time-consuming compared to drawing standard circles, rectangles, or polygons.

12. InDesign language management needs improvement

    Dear Adobe Team,

    I am a long-time Adobe InDesign user and I would like to express my frustration regarding language management within the application.

    Despite having Creative Cloud configured in Italian, InDesign frequently switches back to English after updates. The only reliable solution appears to be uninstalling and reinstalling the application, which is extremely time-consuming and disruptive.

    Considering that InDesign is a professional product used worldwide, it is surprising that there is still no simple built-in option allowing users to switch the application interface language without reinstalling the software.

    Users working in international environments often need to switch between English and local language versions depending on clients, documentation and collaboration requirements. Requiring a full reinstall to change the interface language is not an acceptable workflow for a professional desktop publishing application.

    In addition, after some updates, user preferences, custom menus and workspace settings may be affected, creating additional inconvenience.

    I strongly encourage Adobe to implement a straightforward language selector directly within InDesign, similar to what many modern applications already provide.

    Thank you for your consideration.

    Kind regards,
    Dr. Lidia Macrì

13. Centering Logos Without Considering the ® Symbol

    It’s a small detail, but when a logo has a ® or ™ that makes its overall frame wider, I usually crop out the trademark, center the actual logo, and then undo the crop. I know the difference is negligible, but that’s just how I prefer to align things. Since Adobe keeps adding AI tools to InDesign, it would be nice to have an option that automatically ignores ® and ™ symbols when aligning a logo.

14. Edit Webp Option to have Photoshop

    For some reason when using the 'edit in' feature from the links panel or right click there is no option for photoshop for webp files. Even if you select the photoshop application on mac, it just opens the app file not allowing you to select photoshop.

    But you can edit webp files in photoshop, so this adds the step to right clicking revel in finder and then opening the image in photoshop from finder to edit it.

16. Remove or Disable Share Button

    I need to have the option to Disable or Remove the Share Button. It is constantly running in the background and slows down InDesign significantly. I work in an office where I will never share a document in InDesign and I'm sure there are a lot of people who are in the same situation.

    This has slowed down my work and the other managers are not happy. We are looking at switching to Affinity.

17. Streaming/Downloading Files from Cloud providors should be a non-blocking background event

    I imagine both MacOS and Windows provide some information about whether files are available locally or remotely. In either case, it would be beneficial for performance if InDesign did not block the interface while it was trying to open files that are not returned within a specific frame window (under 100ms seems reasonable).

    When a delay is encountered, draw the proxy or frame shape (if no proxy is available) and overlay a cloud or disk icon and some indication of loading progress. This would go a long way to directly communicate that InDesign has not crashed or otherwise failed in some way and that efforts are underway to load the files on canvas. This would also mean that scrolling to or past a page wouldn't lock up the interface when external files needing to be loaded.

18. Added PDF export tag to character styles for accessibility

    In InDesign, it would be helpful to have the option to export our style as an Artifact in the Character Styles tab, under "Markup Export". This would be very useful for accessibility, allowing for the automation of things like formatting bullets as Artifacts.

19. hyperlink

    Currently if we embed URL link- hyperlink highlighting the word within a hidden text box, the link does not work. We have to create a multi-step setup using the Object States panel so the box appears before the link can be clicked. We have to create the text box for the hyperlink, having to match the line and indentation is a painful process when you decide to edit the main text box. There are few other steps to enabling this hyperlink box work, creating a trigger button etc. This seems quite inefficient and was hoping Adobe could enable users to click the word to embed the hyperlink within a hidden text box to work.
