Paragraph styles frustrations
When creating a paragraph style from an existing one, please let InDesign automatically select the new one to edit, or at least let it retain the adjustments we made to the existing one. Because many times I edit the styling of text, then make a new paragraph style, only to find out I was still styling on the previous style, and not "New Paragraph 1."
OR
Let us be able to highlight the paragraph style we want to redefine, without applying the style to the text.
Sometimes all we want is to highlight copy in the document, and right-click on…

Publishonline Ideas votes must be separated from Indesign ideas.
Indesign users and issues are far away more than publishonline. I think it's fair to separate them so publishonline users have more efficiency. Publishonline will have a great future if we could invest on it. Although it is improoving very slow. Lets speedit up.

To change the dictionary-language in paragraph styles for the whole document/all styles at once.
It would be great and timesaving to change the dictionary-language in paragraph styles for the whole document/all styles or selectedt styles at once. A checkbox like in effects "Global Light" would be great. "Global Language".
I had my styles mostly based on each other. But still have to change 4-6 Paragraphs for each language everey issue of a magazine.

Include Paragraph Styles in Table Styles
There needs to be a way of assigning paragraph styles to header rows and individual columns, not just cell styles/table styles. For example, I have a paragraph style for each of three columns in the table's header row, One for the Item Category, Regular Price heading, and Effective (sale) Price Heading. Then I have four paragraph styles for the rest of the table based on the column, one for item number, one for item description, then of course the style for regular price adn effective (sale) price. I should be able to include these paragraph styles in the table style,…

Leave links in the CC library when packaging a document.
Many of my links in my InDesign documents point to a shared CC library. So that I don't have to resend all the data when I package the document, it would be good to have a function that leaves the links of the document in the CC library and only collects the images that are not in the CC library.

Integrate Adobe Express/Canva-like features into Indesign
So Adobe Indesign has some BASIC animations and I feel this is a completely missed opportunity on Adobe's behalf. Apps like Canva have been spreading like wildfire for years and while Adobe has released Express it is a poor cousin. The idea behind Express/Canva is to have an easy-to-create, templated video/animated solution for social media (which let's face it, is mostly video now), yet as a very heavy InDesign user I should be able to animate and export these animations while also taking advantage of the powerful mail merge (text, images, and it really needs to also have swatches), bulk…

If Adobe could do a spreadsheet application
This is not a specific feature request, but more a general idea about Adobe doing a spreadsheet application.
Think about using functionality in Illustrator and InDesignTo be able to draw new sheets in threaded “Spreadsheet boxes” and “Cell boxes”, using layers for calculations/functions/data as well as text/graphic assets, writing functions and formulas in native language, using any graphics assets for conditional formatting and diagrams, place files in InDesign with full compatibility, advanced text formatting in Text Boxes nested with “Spreadsheet boxes”, tear-away panels.
Just some initial thoughts....1 vote -
PublishOnline dashboard folders
About time the dashboard provided a better file directory to allow users to organise their files better.
When you have multiple clients with over a hundred live publications it can get messy!
A simple even only single level file/folders option would be great so I can move all clients publications into their own folder.
A thousand agencies around the world would greatly welcome this I promise you!

Option to turn hard coded navigation arrows on and off
I would love to be able to turn the prev next arrows off when not required. They can interfere with the design appearance of a publication.
It made it worse when Adobe made the arrows even thicker!
It should be easy to do for Adobe. Again Ajar In5 can do this. Indesign should be able to do it natively1 vote -
Set zero point by selecting the intersection of a horizontal and vertical ruler guide
Set zero point by selecting the intersection of a horizontal and vertical ruler guide followed by a keyboard shortcut. Saves time spent dragging from the top left corner to the intersecting guides

Make All Styles Explicit and Accessible
Currently we can open a pallet for Object Styles, Paragraph Styles, Character Styles, Table Styles, Cell Styles, and of course Style Packs.
We need to be able to access TOC styles, Caption Styles, Image Styles, Effect Styles, Animation Styles, Group Styles, Text Frame Styles, Image Frame Styles, Fill Styles (swatches), Stroke Styles, .Basically, anything that contains a defined set of characteristics that can be interchangeably applied to various objects..
That is to say that styles must be interchangeable with other like styles. For example, you can apply any paragraph style to any paragraph. Every paragraph style will work on every…

Interactive PDF Previews
I would LOVE the ability to preview my interactive PDF without having to export it every time I make an edit to a fillable text box or radio button. Can we preview the interactive features in InDesign, and not just in Acrobat?

Remember last selected section in Preferences
Remember the last selected section in the Preferences window.
For example, if I selected File Handling then clicked OK in the Preferences window, File Handling should be selected the next time I open Preferences.
Right now it always defaults to General. While in many cases I want to use the last preferences section I used before when I open the Preferences window.

Author name of PDF annotation exported from InCopy notes must not contain date & time
When exporting from InCopy to PDF with “Include Notes As Annotations” checked, the author name of each PDF annotation should not have the note’s date and time appended as a suffix. Doing so effectively attributes each annotation to a different author and makes PDF comment filtering based on author name (or datetime, would that filter eventually exist) impossible. I consider this a bug.
The date and time of a note should instead be stored in the “modification date & time” metadata of the PDF annotation, which Acrobat populates and displays for annotations created with itself.

Add Javascript for creating interactive Documents
So I had the nice task of creating an interactive PDF document. It needed a bit more logic than Indesign had to offer, so I was forced to use Javascript.
Because Indesign can't add Javascript, the design file and the logic file were separated. I was forced to manually connect the two every time I needed to make a change in Indesign, adding nearly 40 hours to my workload and completely destroying my workflow.
Just being able to add the scripts to the elements would have saved so much time.
