InDesign Cannot Artifact Leader Dots (Accessibility)
InDesign has no way of artifacting leader dots. This can only be done in PDF. Leader dots are commonly used in tables of contents to guide the reader's eye from the end of the entry to the page number. Leader dots are voiced by access technologies such as screen readers and force users with disabilities to hear, "DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT ..." If they are not artifacted. This is a painstaking process that requires InDesign users to learn PDF Remediation,…

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…

Make it possible to create GROUPS in the Pages palette and the Layers palette.
Make it possible to create GROUPS in the Pages palette and the Layers palette. Just like I can do in the Swatches palette or Styles palette.
When there are many pages (or layers) in a document, grouping them will be very handy.2 votes -
A search box in the link box to actively filter or search for a specific name, similar to the Excel spreadsheet header filter
Please add a cross-field search or an active filter function similar to Excel's table header filter to the link area, thank you.

An option to turn off auto-numbering of interactive buttons
An option to turn off the auto-numbering of interactive buttons when they are the same name.
We sometimes create multiple views of an interactive piece and for analytics need the buttons to have the same name. If there are a lot of buttons sometimes it can take quite a while to got through each button and remove the number added to each one.

Floating sticky notes
Floating sticky notes that I can make myself, for example "Photos completed" "Text revised" "Needs consult" etc. that can be grabbed and stuck to pages, especially for long documents and that remain visible/accessible on every page.I want something I can just grab and stick, grab and stick, etc. rather than create/type a unique note for each page.

Duplicate Spread n times
In some occasions, I use InDesign to collect Photoshop or Illustrator artwork.
In that case, I create a page with a Rectangle Frame, Auto-Fit checked.
When I need e.g. 20 of these, I have to duplicate many times 1-2-4-8-16 etc.
Why not add a number to the duplicate function?2 votes -
Share for Review Strikethrough Comments Become Unmapped when Text is Deleted
My editor often uses the Strikethrough text tool in Share for Review. When I delete the specified text, the corresponding Strikethrough comment becomes unmapped. This is a problem in large documents because it is difficult to remember what part of the document the now unmapped comment referred to. My editor needs to be able to confirm that her requested edits were resolved.

Copy Info: File Name
Would love to see an option added in the 'Copy Info' dropdown in the links panel for copying only the filename.
Super handy for searching old drives for images in large catalogues or for relinking etc.

Template Automation from CSV File
Dear InDesign Support Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing to inquire about a feature that I believe would greatly enhance the efficiency of template usage within InDesign.
Currently, I often work with templates that contain a simple layout consisting of a picture (a person's image) and text (the person's name) underneath it.
These templates serve as the basis for creating multiple pages, each with unique content.What I would like to request is the capability to automate the population of these templates using data from a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file.
Specifically, I envision a feature…1 vote -

Measuring feature
It would be great if there were a way to measure the distance between 2 objects. If I could select the first hold down option and hover over another object it would be fantastic to see a popup telling me how many px it is apart

Flipped Images in Pre-Flight
I'd like to add "flipped image" to the pre-flight process.
I've recently had to scour a product catalog for flipped images because a junior designer didn't realize that flipping images mis-represented the non-symmetrical producs. It should be something that pre-flight draws attention to as a potential error, similar to non-proportional scaling.
I was able to install an obscure script that looked for both flipped frames and flipped image content and made a list for you - it was a lifesaver!1 vote -
do not overwrite Object Styles when making a group to make it accessible
When applying different object styles to elements in InDesign, they are "deleted" when I make a group and giving the "group" another object-style (for example: a picture and a text, both have separate object styles - i group them, and then want to give the group an object style that puts it in the right position on my page)
As soon as I apply the Object style, to the group, the individual object styles are "overwritten". I can manually reapply them in the group, but thats not efficient.
Especialle to make an accessible PDF, the feature of different Object styles…1 vote -
Would like to be able to apply formatting to text variables
You should be able to somehow apply formatting to text variables. (See screenshot: TextVariable.png). The running header on the right hand page is based on the "chapter title" on the left hand page, but the italics can't be applied. It would be nice if you could apply a GREP style, or even a nested style, to the paragraph style that is applied to running header.

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.
