InDesign Page panel
While duplicating the spread in the page panel of the Indesign, it just duplicates the page below the original page, it is good, but it should not fluctuate the panel screen.

Chance to see export estimated file size in Indesign
I think it would be great if Indesign provided estimated size information before exporting to PDF or another format. Just like doing JPEG in Photoshop. Don't you think it's a good idea?

Add Nepali to language list
Can you add Nepali to the list of available languages in the Character dropdown? There are language-specific OT features that aren't supported without selecting the language, and it seems like a bit of an unnecessary workaround to mark text as Hindi in order to get correct display of glyphs for Nepali.

automatically use comment highlight
I'm always getting comments without highlights because I forget to select the highlight before I write the comment... it would be great to default to highlight color x every time

Please add "Default search scope" to the Preferences
Hi, Adobe design team!
I'm sorry to say, but NEVER IN MY LIFE have I wanted to search for something inside a single Story. It's kinda infuriating to have to switch to "Document" as the Search scope every time. Can we please have the chance to change, what is our default?
Thanks in advance!1 vote -
Option for Overprint to apply to black text only (not graphics) by default
It would be great to have two options in Preferences for how overprint behaves.
Appearance of Black Objects: Overprint Swatch at 100% (tick or untick)
Appearance of Black Text: Overprint Swatch at 100% (tick or untick)I spend a ton of time correcting black on graphics before printing files and it can be quite fiddly at times with illustrations. This would save so much time + printing errors when I miss stuff!

Find/Change Apply to Anchored Text Boxes
Find/change should be able to include any text boxes anchored in the search of a text box/story/selection. I use anchored text box objects in tables a lot, and on occasion, it would be helpful to be able to make a change to all the text with a certain paragraph style in a story, but not in the whole document. But with anchored objects, find/change won't see any text in anchored objects if you select the text box with the anchors, and you can't select multiple anchored objects at the same time. This makes it impossible/useless to find/change multiple text items…

Allow pop-up panels such as paragraph styles editor to be resized
When the operating system font size and/or software UI scale is increased it causes the bottom of the panel to be too long and clipped off under the Windows taskbar. Most of the panel is just empty grey space so can be scaled down without losing any of the contents.

Password protect "publish online" documents.
Password protecting "publish online" EPUB documents would be extremely valuable for my work. A lot of my files contain sensitve information that need to remain with the business.

Ability to scroll pages behind export windows
When dealing with longer documents, it would be nice to be able to scroll either the pages in the background or (even better) the pages window/tab to look at a range (e.g. when a document is at the end or if there are filler pages that don't need exporting/checking at this stage). People have been requesting this for years.

Add ability to make resusable/editable linked COMPONENTS (like in XD)
InDesign has been dancing around the edges of this idea for years, with half-baked features like snippets, libraries, linked items in the content grabber....but it never has gotten it right. What we need is something exactly like the "components" feature in Adobe XD. We grab some objects, and then "Make Component" out of them. Then we can plop multiple instances of that component throughout the document. If we go back and edit the "Main Component" those changes are automatically applied to all placed instances of it.
Yes, I know you can place one indesign doc into another, which is the…

Clearer comment navigation in share for review
click on a comment and have the comments panel scroll to the comment clicked, make the active comment highlight more visible and don't unmap comments when the text is deleted but delete the comments with the text.

Comments in Logical Order Please
The comments in Share for Review currently start on the right hand page of a spread work down and then skip to the top of the left-hand spread. This is confusing.

Update only some pages of an earlier exported PDF
When Exporting a big document, sometimes after a change it would be nice to update only the changed page in the exported file.
- it would save time as the export would complete faster
- no need to have all the linked files of the whole document locally just to update one page
- it would save me exporting one one some pages and then opening the old PDF file in Acrobat and replacing the updated page manually.1 vote -
Window size-changing
I find that Photoshop, Acrobat, Bridge and Dreamweaver all follow Apple’s standard of double-clicking at the top of a window to make it expand to full screen or return to the previous size. InDesign (v.19.0.1) apparently does not (I use only these five Adobe Cloud apps). InDesign windows will double-click expand to full screen but won’t returning to their previous size. The alternative, dragging the right-hand edge, is very tedious.

AI assisted paragraph´s hyphenation and justification
could Indesign suggest different H&J options for the selected paragraph so the designer could choose the best suited, among available options?
Artificial Intelligence offers 3 options to choose in Photoshop.
Could we have 3 AI assisted h&j options to choose from?2 votes -
