Make Paste Remembers Layers the Default
Make 'Paste Remembers Layers' the default. By default this is an option that must be selected, but this should be the default behavior. You will note the number of suggestions on this very forum for this feature that already exists. There is never going to be an occasion under which I do not want to paste to the original layer, and I often want to copy and paste multiple objects on different layers. However, this feature is well hidden in the layers panel menu options, disabled by default. Moreover 'Paste in Place' should likewise be the default. When would it…

Página Principal (Maestra) aplicada automáticamente
Hola desarrolladores,
¿No sería genial que InDesign pudiera aplicar automáticamente una Página Princpal cada vez que detecte un estilo de párrafo en particular?
👉 Ejemplo: en la apertura de cada capítulo aplicamos el estilo de párrafo “Título capítulo”. Si InDesign pudiera reconocer ese estilo y asignar de forma automática la página maestra correspondiente, se ahorraría tiempo y se reducirían errores.
Esta función simplificaría muchísimo nuestro trabajo en documentos largos como libros, manuales o revistas.
Espero puedan conciderarla.

Hide Application Home Bar
PLEASE need an option to HIDE the application bar with the Home icon and app version... Such a waste of much needed workspace, and there is absolutely nothing in that bar that enhances my workflow.

It would be fantastic to have an AI agent built into InDesign which would check spelling, grammar and fact check text data.

Add macOS Core Image Filters as Native Object Effects in InDesign (e.g., Vibrancy, Gaussian Blur, Glass Distortion)
Please add support for macOS Core Image filters (e.g., CIGaussianBlur, CIVibrancy, CIBloom, CIGlassDistortion) as native, real-time object effects within InDesign. These filters are already GPU-accelerated and supported natively by macOS. Tapping into this framework would allow InDesign to offer real-time visual effects like frosted glass, material-style blurs, and ambient glow — without the need to pre-render images in Photoshop.
For designers: Effects like vibrancy, translucency, blur, and light diffusion are increasingly common in modern design — not just in UI/UX, but in packaging, promotional layouts, and publication work. These are time-consuming to fake using raster-based workarounds. Having real-time effects within…

InDesign Mac remember window size and position
InDesign should remember the window size and position for each file it has closed upon reopen, as well as new files, too.
Simples.

page sorter
When I'm working on a long document, it's very hard to find a specific page that I know the look of, but don't know the page number to. And trying to move pages around is also ver hard in the small Page panel.
It would be nice to be able to switch views in the main document window/panel to something that looks like the slide sorter on Microsoft Powerpoint. Where the thumbnails of each page isn't as small as they are on the Pages panel and there is a much larger screen real estate to sort through the pages.

Bookmarking files on home screen
I'm often working on 10+ projects and probably 20+ files in Indesign at a time. Whenever I restart the computer or switch between projects, it takes time to navigate to the folder where I've saved the project and look at various collateral involved with the project as well as open the Indesign file.
It would be great to have another section on the home screen under the Recent files to have Bookmark files. The logical place to put the bookmark function would be in the Files menu when you have the file open, but you can also put a shortcut…1 vote -
Arrange pages panel
Being able to drag pages around in the Pages window is fine, but it's incredibly clunky and slow. It's very easy to make mistakes when you can only see 3 minuscule pages at once in the window. Would it be possible to make a new type of window with a grid layout of all your pages, where you can easily select multiple pages and drag pages around?
Also, as others have mentioned, please implement page folders!! That would be so useful.

Business
Hi there, a friend recommended Swiss trust when I mentioned I needed better asset protection. Curious, I visited their site and read about how they focus on privacy and safeguarding assets. What really caught my eye was their straightforward process and the emphasis on security. I decided to try their service myself to protect some personal investments, and it felt reassuring to work with a company that clearly knows what they’re doing. The experience was smooth, and I appreciated how they kept everything confidential.

AI tool/agent for typographic/text related questioning of InDesign document
I’m handling long documents (books, magazines) on a daily basis and would love to see an AI tool/agent inside InDesign, which I can ask various typographic questions via prompting, such as:
* List all page numbers which contain orphans/widows.
* List all page numbers which contain less then 15 lines of text in the main text frame/story.
* List all page numbers where paragraphs end with a single word in the last line.
* etc.Since these things can only be done by visually checking every single page or with partially complex scripting, such an AI agent would help to…

Remove tips, Add an option to turn on/off tutorial mode
Remove tips, Add an option to turn on/off tutorial mode.
InDesign and other adobe apps constantly tell me things that I know about. This is helpful for new users, but annoying for professionals. InDesign is the industry standard and should cater to professionals while having a beginner or tutorial mode for those who are new to it.
It is unacceptable to open a window and show it to me while im working. Multiple times i've pressed ctrl z which brings up a window that says DID YOU KNOW ABOUT DOCUMENT HISTORY. Its not helpful for me personally.

Make Hyperlink Accessibility Alt Text Scriptable
You can create hyperlinks using an InDesign script, but you can't set the hyperlink's alt text. So I can create hundreds of hyperlinks in minutes with a script, but I still have to edit each one manually to set the alt text, and that takes hours.
