Paragraph Rules/Underline Skip Ink
Can Paragraph Rules/Underlines be updated to have a 'skip ink' feature, similar to how figma works.
For example, if I wanted to add a rule/underline below the word "example", I could choose for the line to go through the letter p or to skip any descenders adding in a gap to the line.

Ignore hidden pages when creating Share for Review link
I occasionally keep different versions of a given page hidden in my document in case I need them later. However, when creating a Share for Review link, I have to make sure I delete the hidden pages each time otherwise they will export in the Share for Review preview and confuse my reviewer.
Can you please add functionality into Share for Review so it will not export any pages that are hidden when creating a share link?

Allow importing/copying gradients between InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator.
It should be possible to import gradients swatches from Photoshop and Illustrator into InDesign, and vice versa. Whether by finally being able to have a gradient saved in CC Libraries or being able to copy+paste an object with the gradient applied between programs.
I can't tell you how many times I've finally gotten a perfect gradient in Photoshop, only to then realize I need it in InDesign and my only options are to 1) painstakingly make it again in InDesign, 2) design InDesign things in Photoshop with the existing gradient, or 3) Export a gradient from Photoshop as a jpeg…

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.

Grouped master-page elements
Could InDesign please fix the long-standing issue with grouped master-page elements? When elements are grouped across left- and right-hand masters, applying just one master can cause elements from the other to appear. Could elements be automatically clipped at the spine so only the selected master’s elements appear on each page?

Add "2" pages as default option to Add Pages rather than "1".
1 page as the default adds no value when writing hundred page books. Need to add "2" pages 99% of the time and have to take our hands off the mouse each time to add pages. Either all the default to be changed or add a "page up" button to change the page count without having to take your hand off the mouse to use the keyboard. Adding 2 pages is a new spread, adding 1 page just shuffles all the pages in the document.

Please make editing colors and adding swatches available anywhere colors are involved
E.g: in Paragraph Styles / Character Color - make it possible to add a color directly, in stead of having to leave the dialog to do so.

Display full file name in Relink dialog
It would be usefull to have displayed full file name in Relink dialog on MacOS.

Feature request: Ignore Preflight errors on Hidden Spreads
It would be very useful if InDesign automatically excluded Hidden Spreads from Preflight checks, or provided an option to do so.
Currently, a spread set to “Hide Spread” is intentionally excluded from presentation/export, but errors within that spread — such as missing image links or overset text — can still be reported by Preflight.
This creates unnecessary warnings, particularly in documents where Hidden Spreads are used to keep alternative layouts, previous versions, or working material within the same InDesign file.
Suggested improvement:
Add a Preflight option such as:
“Ignore errors on Hidden Spreads”
When enabled, missing links, overset text, image…

Split “Hyphenate Across Columns” into Separate Options
Please split the current Hyphenate Across Columns option into separate settings:
- Hyphenate Across Columns
- Hyphenate Across Text Frames
- Hyphenate Across Pages
- Hyphenate Across SpreadsThese are different typographic cases. In many layouts, hyphenation only needs to be prevented across spreads, sometimes across pages, while it should remain allowed across columns and text frames.

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.4 votes -
ID Plugin App for ChatGPT
I am an independent author and publisher using Adobe InDesign to prepare books for print and digital publication.
I strongly encourage Adobe to prioritize an official InDesign integration with ChatGPT. I need a conversational interface that can work directly with an InDesign document, inspect the full layout, adjust paragraph and character styles, manage parent pages, preserve Hebrew and right-to-left text, identify overset text and page-flow problems, update the table of contents, run preflight checks, and help export a print-ready PDF.
The current InDesign interface has a difficult learning curve for independent writers who need professional book production but are not…

MacOS27 use smaller corner radius in smaller windows like tab-settings
MacOS 27: Apple has changed the corner radius, but also offers to use a smaller radius (keyboard overview panel) and it seems a non-brainer to implement this in menu items like tabs.

Back/forward buttons to navigate document
I'm often working on a specific page and referencing other pages within the document.
It would be handy to have a back button maybe in the Pages panel to jump back to the previous page viewed.1 vote -
Add a 'Discretionary Page Break'.
When working on a document, paragraphs can break up over pages. To get more control over these page breaks a 'discretionary page break' would be nice: like a discretionary hyphen, this should mark the preferred location for a page break.
Combine with keep options and some extra settings, this could provide a lot of comfort when working on documents in progress.

Tenía una pequeña duda sobre la reserva antes de mi viaje.
Unos días antes de mi viaje, revisé mi reserva y noté algo que quería aclarar. No se trataba de un problema grave, pero no quería dejar el asunto para el último momento y tener que resolverlo en el aeropuerto.
Empecé a buscar información sobre el servicio Air Canada Telefono, ya que quería saber qué opciones de asistencia había disponibles para mi consulta. Antes de hablar con alguien, verifiqué los detalles de mi reserva y reuní toda la información que pudiera necesitar.
Tener a mano el número de reserva, las fechas del viaje y el itinerario facilitó enormemente el proceso. También…

Restore color books
For some reason, I am not able to add one of the preset colourbooks to my files. I had help from an Adobe employee and finally he reached the conclusion individual colours needed to be added one by one. This is insane. I want to be able to access these colour books! Please restore so they can be added to the Swatches window!

Make it possible to Redefine the current selected text to any existing Style
In many cases a restyled text should not redifine the current style, but another (unused/old style) E.g. when creating a subheading from the Plain text style. If there was a Style called 'Subheading' already, it would be nice to let the selected modified plain text directly redifine that 'Subheading' style, in stead of creating a new one, find out the Subheading already exists, delete it etc.

Create an option to for non-sticky paragraph and character styles
Paragraph and Character styles are great, but for new users or in environments where files frequently change hands, they can be hard to teach and manage due to them being 'sticky'. If you select a character style with no text selected, it stays selected and will then be applied to all future text, same for paragraph styles. For experts, this is a feature; for new users it is a bug. The layer panel has "ungroup remembers layers" which is a very obscure setting, could the styles panels please have "Styles are not sticky" added as an option to the fly…
