Set an increment for auto-sized text boxes
When making a text box auto-sized, it would be good to set how much it expands by, be it 0.5mm, 1mm etc. I use it for laying out org charts, and to set the spacing between each box it helps when they are sized to be even 1mm sizes and sit at y value of an even number. If the box ends up auto-sized to 23.34mm then starting the next box at a y value of 25mm means a 1.66mm space between the two boxes instead of a nice even 2mm or something. If I could set it so that…

Ability to copy and paste only the text style
After copying any text field by any means, having the ability to do a special paste on an different text field (copy/apply the properties and not the actual text).
Wordpress-Elementor has this feature and can be a real time saver for quickly making small changes to various smaller text fields.

InDesign for Apple Vision Pro
Hello,
I am an Artistic Designer that uses InDesign for about 30 hours a week. I essentially live within InDesign for work. I would very much like if you would make a full fledged InDesign available within Apple's Vision Pro headset. I'm not even asking for a Spatial redesign, though it would be amazing eventually. Just support for downloading and installing the full version of InDesign without an unnecessary additional subscription or mobile friendly version. Please, this would make a huge difference to a lot of people.

Exporting PDF Security Settings (Bug)
When exporting documents to PDF where there are multiple layouts, there is a bug that happens when adding a Security Password to the PDF, where it will revert back to the original layout/all pages if you do not check it.
So in essence if I only want to export layout 2, it will revert back and export all pages in the document after I input the Security details.
A way around this issue is to make sure you put in the Security details and password first then go back to the General tab and input your settings. If you do…

Option to export PDF without creating a new folder.
Ability to save a page as a PDF within an existing folder to make it easier to track versions I am sending to a client. It would let me keep my organization consistent with other Adobe products- where I track changes in the same folder with updated file names. The folders seems to be a recent feature that I do not have the ability to turn off and would like to see that as an option. Thanks!

Sharing preferences across devices using the same account.
I would love to be able to share my InDesign preferences such as custom workspace layouts and custom preflight profiles through the cloud so that they are available on any device I sign into and also don't get lost every time there is a new major update/release of InDesign. These are key features to productivity and a lot of time can be spent setting preferences to get InDesign optimised and just right for your individual workflow, it is really frustrating to have to keep doing this on every device and after every update.
I know you can manually copy workspace…

Swap Dropper
Instead of simply using the eye dropper tool to copy the style from one item to another, it would be cool if there was an option to swap the styles between the two items.

Please make it possible to reorder the parent pages.
Simply have a option to drag and drop the parent pages. I think this used to be easy when they were master pages , or maybe I just assumed this - but not now.

split column gutters too wide - need a "negative" width setting
The split columns feature is great, and I use it often. But when I have only two columns of generally narrow width, the resulting gutter gap is way too wide. I can adjust it down to zero, as I have done in the attached image, but it would be so helpful to be able to go into the negative numbers (or use some other method) to bring these columns much closer together.

Version number on splash screen?
Sometime I have more than one version of InDesign on my Windows PC, especially if the latest release is buggy. It would be very useful to have the program version number show up on the splash screen when you start the program.

Add scrolling feature to Publish Online
I create decks for brands and companies, and we often need to use interactive elements like videos and gifs — so we need to publish them online.
Because of smartphones, the design of most websites now, and the way people read PDFs in 'Reader', people expect to be able to scroll rather than clicking left and right.
I'm having a lot of requests now to create documents in non-adobe programmes, like Readymag — purely because they offer scrolling.
My contemporaries are having the same.
I hope this would be a small fix for Adobe, because it would make a huuuuge…

Favourite font groups
I'd like to be able to save some of my commonly used fonts into groups or themes of my choosing, such as calligraphic, infographic, corporate, Christmas etc.
I realise InDesign (and other Adobe apps) already offer favourites and filters but the favourites list can get rather long and the filters don't always capture the fonts I'm actually trying to find, especially with non Adobe fonts. For example, I have a font called 'Beauty Night Script' installed and it doesn't show up in either the script, handwritten or decorative font filters.
I think this feature could be quite useful for people…

Animated GIF and MP4 export
It would be great if InDesign exported a document with animated elements in animated gif and mp4. In this way, it would be a much simpler task to make animated posts for social media using Data Merge. Another alternative would be to allow Media Encoder to accept InDesign files with animated elements, in the same way that Media Encoder can already do with Photoshop files.
