Opentype + Glyphs UI Menu Preview
The UI for Opentype is extremely difficult and time consuming to use. The entire thing needs to be set up like Illustrator, with one addition: PREVIEW TYPOGRAPHIC FEATURES (especially the stylistic sets).
This UI feature should behave just like the Fonts Menu: When you open the font family menu with text highlighted, each font you hover over previews on your selected text.
This needs to be replicated for Opentype and Glyphs. So once you open the dropdown for stylist sets or glyphs, each style you hover over, will preview in real time on your selected text or in a pop…

Grid view when zoomed out
Please allow pages to move into a grid view when zooming out. This would allow for page layout artists to look at the "big picture" view all at once without the endless scrolling. Attaching two pictures, one is what indesign looks like now, the second is what it looks like in Microsoft Word which is a MUCH more helpful view. If this is already available, please let me know, I'd love to use this feature!

Layer Arrangement (Send to Current Layer)
Like it is in Illustrator, it would be super nice if there was a right-click option under >Arrange that would allow you to "Send to Current Layer." just small + quality of life, but it's how I'm used to working in Ai and would be nice to see additional congruency between these kinds of things!

Please Add "Screen" Intent Option for Creating New Documents
Please add a new Intent option called "Screen" as a choice when creating a new INDD file. The current choices of Print, Web, and Mobile don't cover what I need for creating PPT backgrounds for slide shows, stills and lower thirds for our video team. Page sizes could be at least: 1366 x 768, 720p, 1080p, and possibly 3840 x 2160 for 4K. This would save time from rifling through the other options for the right dimensions, creating a custom size, changing measurements, and changing color profile.

Autosave on Indesign !!!
Currently in much distress due to the lack of an autosave feature on indesign. We artists and students should not be trusted to manually save our work. We just leave it up at all times. I know this exists on Adobe applications, this needs to be a top priority. Too many lost files due to this. Praying for a miracle and a non-existent recovered file. CATER TO YOUR AUDIENCE!

Possibility to control Superscript/Subscript, i.e., 40% if >XX font size, 65% if<XX font size
In "Advanced Type" (in settings) I can control Superscript, subscript and Small Caps. Many fonts has got a gigantic and ugly ® (registered trademark) and needs to be shrunk. Sadly, that shrinks the ® in normal body copy too much. It would be great if I could have options in Advanced Type to control it more.
E.g., 40% size and 65% baseline if bigger than 36 pt font size, and some other setting for anything smaller than that size.2 votes -
Pages Folders!
Being able to group and collapse sections/chapters/draft/optional layouts would be a huge help.

Larger thumbnails in the Page Pallet
I would like to see the thumbnails in the InDesign Page Pallet larger so that components of the page are easily recognizable. Currently the Jumbo thumbnail size is not sufficient. Perhaps a slider feature similar to 'View Options' in Apple Finder?

Show and hide
Currently, you can only delete a publication, but not pause it. It would be a great advantage to be able to show and hide a publication without removing it completely.

Find/Change text in Index entries too
I find it amazing that we have been relegated to using fancy scripts to perform what should be a simple find and replace.
Currently (as far as I know) search and change (aka Find and Replace) has no means to affect an index and its entries. There are scripts that try and address this shortcoming, but why? This is a simple and basic function. Correction, should be a simple and basic function.1 vote -

Mark layers as visible in the exported PDF but non-printing from within InDesign export settings
PDFs have the ability to mark layers as non-printing, so that they appear visible on the screen but don't print to hard copy. I'm using this capability to add a light raster background to all pages of a workbook for students, which adds a bit of warm color to the on-screen viewing experience, but I don't want this background to use up all their toner if they decide to print the pages. Similarly, the entire workbook has page numbers, but the worksheets should print without the page numbers, because they're not relevant outside the context of the book.
I found…

Align to page when only one item selected!
I usually have 'Align to Selection' as my default. Wouldn't it be great if when only one item is selected that the align buttons use 'Align to Page'

DATA MERGE
Importing an image via .CSV or .TXT file requires the use of an absolute @IMAGE link, it would be very convenient, for file sharing purposes, for this link to recall the files from the folder where the INDESING file resides, using a relative @IMAGE link, using a relative @IMAGE link.
EXAMBLE:
Volumes:BK2:PACK HD:CLIENT:PROJECT 1:PACK:LINK:file.ai (ABSOLUTE LINK)
LINK/file.ai (RELATIVE LINK)

Paragraph Styles & Character Styles sort by color/label
It would be great to be able to color-label a specific paragraph style from the paragraph styles panel. It helps visually when working with lots of paragraph styles. Also, this applies to character styles as well. Perhaps even the groups within the paragraph styles panel could be color-labeled. This feature is already in Photoshop and even Premiere Pro has a color-label feature so for all of us working in InDesign it is a critical feature.

Enable "relink to CC Library"
Enable "relink all images to a different CC Library" (relink to CC Library) , like you do on your hard drive (relink to folder)
I´m creating catalogues where I reuse a lot of images again and again,.
I copy images from one Library to a new Library.
Then I want to relink this new Library to a copy of my Indesign document.Earlier it was easy to link all images to a different folder, but in CC Librarys it do not work the same way, very frustrating.
And with the shutting down of synced files folders it’s very important to…

Auto Package INDD files by Default
It would be helpful if InDesign packaged documents by default when they are created. Ideally, as fonts and linked images are added to/deleted in the document, they are auto added/deleted in the package.
This would be a time saver and would ideally eliminate the unnecessary duplicate INDD file created in the current package output and ensure all the current assets are in the file without ever having to manually update.

Add brackets and arcs as underline options
To signal a contraction of a word, or a relation between two words, it would be helpful to have brackets and arcs (like slurs in a musical sheet) as underline options. This would simplify the edition of dictionaries and musical text.
See the examples attached.3 votes
