make option to deactivate swatch sync when synchronizing paragraph/character styles
In InDesign 19.5.:
"Swatches synchronize when object, paragraph, or character styles are selected in the Synchronize Options dialog."However, working with a book document with different color shemes in each chapter, this is a huge inconvinience for me.
I want to be able to sync my settings without syncing the colors, as they are deliberatly different in each chapter.
This change would cause the need to make a character/paragraph/object style for each chapter, causing the number of styles to be hard to manage.
Otherwise, I would have to change the colors after every sync or won't be able to use…2 votes -
Rearrange Blank Document Presets in InDesign for Custom Order
I'd love to be able to rearrange blank document presets in InDesign.
The four options that show on the new document popup are presets that I'll never ever have to use (Letter, Legal, Tabloid, Letter-Half).
I'd much rather re-order the presets to show A3, A4, A5, A6 first etc.

Color Swatch Info
Please add the Color Swatch Info creation feature from Illustrator to InDesign. Not sure why this wasn't added along with the Illustrator one? It would be extremely useful in both apps, since InDesign is also used to create styleguides.

Change Asset Characteristics (Color, Style, Color Space) in Adobe Libraries
The Problem:
When building out an icon system in Adobe Libraries, you need to save a separate icon for each color variation, style variation (we have a filled style, line style, and multi-color style), and color space (digital vs. print). For our organization, there are 3 styles, 3 color variations for each, and 2 color spaces, meaning you need 18 different versions of a single icon. For large icon libraries, this results in a massive library and poor performance (icons with too many assets start to slow down and cause crashes).My Idea for a Solution:

Export PDF, IDML and jpeg at the same time
It would be great if user could export document as PDF, jpeg and IDML at the same time. Something similar to package menu, but jus export menu, where user can choose several export formats

Make cells split over 2 pages like they do in Word
Please Make cells split over 2 pages like they do in Word. We publish very large books that are updated all the time, having to manually cut cells at every page is an unimaginably heavy work load! And it is wasted work. It has to be redone every edition!

Folder coloring in styles (paragraph, character, table)
It would be nice if InDesign had the ability to colorize paragraph, table, character style folders like Photoshop has in layers.

Custom organization of links panel
Options within Links Panel to sort links not by name/page/location folder, but into custom folders or priority. Allow users to place links at the top that are changed or edited more frequently. Current issue is job requires me to change multiple logo files spread throughout document quickly. If multiple instances are grouped, sorting by layer does not work and layer will also sort by layer name and not top layer. Letting users set priority status to links or create & name custom folders within the links panel can help find things quickly.

Inclure une fonction de nouvel article à un style de paragraphe.
J'aimerais que la fonction de Nouvel article puisse se donner à un Style de paragraphe, ainsi on évite de créer un nouvel article à la main en début de chapitre quand on fait un livre. Cela nous faciliterait la tâche lorsqu'un manuscrit inséré en un article complet comporte plusieurs chapitre et que les notes de fins doivent débuter à un à chaque article. Présentement il faut couper l'article manuellement à la fin de chaque chapitre. Il me semble qu'il pourrait y avoir une case à cocher avec notre Style de paragraphe de Titre de chapitre qui pourrait faire automatiquement les…

Add a tab feature that automatically sets even spacing between words or blocks of text
When creating forms, I often have a line of text where I need to break the line into individual words or groups of words, similar to placing them in columns, but it's done using tab stops. It would be great to have a tab feature that lets you automatically set the tab distance between each word group so that the spacing between each word group is consistent. Right now it has to be done manually setting multiple tab stops on each line, which is time-consuming.

Global Edit
It would be extremely helpful to have a global edit feature like Illustrator. For example, I created a 2 layer text "graphic" to use as an indicator multiple times across a 12 page document. Once it printed, I realized the opacity was too high so it wasn't legible. Now I have to go and edit each individual instance of the exact same item or edit, and paste/duplicate it all over again. If Global Edit was a feature, I could select the object, select Global Edit, and make changes 1 time applying it to ever other instance automatically.

Footnote references in header rows of tables should not be repeated
It is desirable that text in table headers is repeated in the second and subsequent text frames.
But it is not good that footnote references are also repeated in headers. This is because the footnote for the corresponding references is to be found on the page where the reference is first mentioned, but not on the following pages of the table, which breaks across pages.5 votes -
Change hypenation-language for all text frames at the same time
I would like to select all text frames on one page and change the (hypenation-)language for all of them at the same time. This would save a lot of time when working with seveal languages in the same document.
I know, that I can add new paragraph styles with the corresponding language setting. But that takes way too much time. In our documents, each language has its own layer.1 vote -
Stop snapping to pixel or give us option to disable
Give us the option to not snap to pixel when the ruler is set to measure in pixels.
Fine to snap to pixels when drawing boxes and lines. But completely useless for text and anything with a curve.

Font Paths
In the Links pallet, I can see the path to a link; EVEN if it's missing I can see where it was linked from. I would like the same thing for Fonts. In Find/Replace fonts I can only see a path to fonts that are found. I would like a path for Missing fonts, so I know--- were the activated through the Cloud? Or from someone's Font folder (and not properly Packaged). If I know, I can either Activate the fonts from Adobe, or retrieve the fonts from their local hiding place. It would remove the risk of activating an…

Parametric style.
Parametric style. What does it mean? In the description of the style, we have an additional field "Depends on", in which we indicate the Name of the selected Template. Now the same style will get different settings on different pages. For example, the alignment of the text in the block on the left pages will be on the left edge, and on the right - on the right.
If the brochure has different sections, the same style of headings and subheadings can have different colors. Example: the "cheese" section has yellow headings, and the "cherry" section has red headings. And…2 votes
