Ability to specify a baseline start in a Paragraph style
Would like to use a Paragraph style to be able to set the first line of a paragraph to a specific baseline. For example, on a page like this the first paragraph also needs to start on the same baseline, but there wouldn’t always be a byline, so I would need to make another, or multiple, Paragraph styles for the main head (“Foreword”) in order to sink the first paragraph to the same baseline.

Make Paragraph Styles Apply Parent Pages and Section Starts
- Would like to have an option to apply a Parent page based on the Paragraph style. Similar to Mastermatic, but in the Paragraph style dialogue.
- Would like the option to have a Paragraph Style set a section start. As it is, if, for example, you set page 22 as a section start, but later need to delete pages 20 and 21, the page numbering now goes 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24 etc. For this reason I don’t use section starts and thus don’t use the TOC function. But I would like to use the TOC function and this…

Easier Workspace Profile Overwriting
When updating a custom workspace (via Window > Workspace), it would be helpful to have a direct option to overwrite an existing saved workspace—rather than requiring users to select “New Workspace…” and retype the same name manually to replace it.

Conditional Text to Control Master Page Application
Enable the use of Conditional Text to trigger automatic switching or application of specific Master Pages. In complex layouts, this would streamline the process of dynamically changing page templates based on content variations or project stages.

Advanced GREP Substitution Based on Content Structure
Enhance the GREP search-and-replace functionality to allow targeting specific components within a content structure (e.g., tags, glyphs, or partial patterns) without altering the entire matched string. This would enable more precise and context-sensitive text manipulation.

Footnote Numbering Across Independent Text Frames
Currently, footnote numbering continues only within threaded text frames. It would be extremely helpful if footnote numbering could optionally continue across separate, unlinked text frames within the same document. This would allow for more flexible layout designs without breaking numbering consistency.

Customise the context bar
The context bar contains functions that I can access much more quickly via a shortcut, so I don't find it useful.
It would be useful if the context bar functions could be customised.1 vote -
Direct Select Tool select control points regardless of active object
The direct selection tool should behave like a direct selection tool regardless of whether the object is currently selected. Currently, InDesign will treat the direct selection tool like the regular selection tool if an object is currently selected. This is broken UI. This is counterintuitive. The 'direct' selection tool should select control points regardless of whether the object is already selected. It should just grab control points or lines directly as indicated in the name of the tool. There are about a decade's worth of community posts about this issue, so maybe Adobe should fix it, now? What do you…

Have the option to use IMAGES for Paragraph: RULES, BORDERS, and SHADING
Paragraph Rules, Borders, and Shading are all great. They are also all: flat, uniform...boring...
Sometimes a layout demands stuff that is more...messy. Clients often ask for 'grungy' effects to highlight specific parts of text, and every designer gets what they mean.
I currently use an anchored image to achieve this, but it's fiddly, and easily broken. It requires scripting or tedious CandP.
Adding an IMAGE option to Paragraph (and Character?) styles would be brilliant. When I'm working on webpages, I'm using 'background' in CSS all the time.

That same flexibility in InDesign (image link, position, size, 9-slicing{?!!}, color modes,…

Ability to Name Multiple Check Boxes at Once and Deselect Radio Buttons
I use check boxes frequently to create a multitude of order forms. There are a few requirements they need to meet: Once ticked, they can be unticked, and buttons are grouped so only one option can be selected out of a range. This has become a tedious task as I can only name one check box at a time. I would like the ability to select and name multiple check boxes at once so thye can be easily grouped, this simple change would save so much time.
I also used to use the radio buttons, which does have the option…1 vote -
Publish Online - Shared Access
For companies, it would be very beneficial to see all online published documents from everyone in the organization. This would help to still maintain one external link to open the published files, but in the case of employee(s) leaving the company, the file can still be updated.
As of now, it is not possible to see or update links/documents that other people published online.
Please rework, much needed feature. Please upvote!!!

Fix the display of "selected" pages in the Pages pane
When the editing pane has focus, the "selected" page in the thumbnails should be the one where the insertion point is sitting (unless there's a selection that crosses the page boundary). Currently, the Pages panel inexplicably selects TWO pages whenever the insertion point is placed on a page (when using spreads). This creates problems when the user is working on the right page, and performs certain actions like starting a new section.
Currently, that section will start on the wrong page; because the Pages pane has selected the left page as well as the right, the new section will start…

Toevoegen verloop opties in Alinea-arcering
Alineastijlen > Alinea-arcering > Arcering > Kleur. Daar is het wel mogelijk een gemaakt kleurverloop te kiezen, maar niet de rotatie in te stellen. Het gaat nu alleen van links naar rechts. Ik zou het graag willen draaien.

Enable non-contiguous text selection (like in MS Word)
I work daily on customized graphic projects — brochures, flyers, posters, catalogs — where manual precision is essential. In these kinds of jobs, using styles and automation is often unnecessary or even counterproductive.
It’s quite limiting that InDesign does not allow non-contiguous text selection within the same text frame, a feature that has been available in software like Microsoft Word for years (Cmd+click on Mac / Ctrl+click on Windows).
Being able to select multiple non-adjacent portions of text and apply changes to them simultaneously (bold, size, color, etc.) would be a major improvement for those of us who work in…

Understanding Computer Transformers: The Backbone of Modern AI
In the realm of artificial intelligence, transformer models have emerged as a groundbreaking innovation. Introduced in the 2017 paper "Attention Is All You Need" by researchers at Google, transformers have fundamentally changed how machines process sequential data, such as language and images .
The Architecture of Transformers
At the core of transformer models lies the self-attention mechanism. This allows the model to weigh the relevance of different parts of the input data dynamically, enabling it to capture context more effectively than previous models like recurrent neural networks (RNNs) . Transformers consist of encoder and decoder components, which process input data…1 vote -
Package multiple Indesign files at one time into one folder
We often have separate files in one folder that share files in the files folder. Example, a letter, a brochure, a self mailer, a card, reply envelope. Currently we have to package each file individually and then drag all the files and fonts into one files and fonts folder.

Restrict 'Remove All Local Overrides' to Selected Layer Only
Often, when 'Remove Selected Local Overrides' isn't possible, selecting 'Remove All Local Overrides' will replace parent page text boxes, thereby deleting any content you may have (and may have spent a lot of time working on). Restricting removing all local overrides to a selected or unlocked layer would allow all other content on other layers to be protected.
ps Reapplying a parent page as a workaround has the same effect – parent page text boxes are replaced.
