Book Sections
It should be possible to define a section in a book that spans multiple documents. At the moment, I have to redefine a section at the start of each document.
There's no easy way to create a book of essays, grouped into sections and rearrange the essays and sections at will, renaming as I go, without huge time investments.

Allow Extensis Suitcase to Connect to Adobe Fonts Subscription
I understand that this isn't a specific InDesign feature request, but I can't seem to find any way to put in a feature request for Adobe Fonts.
Until, and unless, Adobe decides to create a full-featured font management software package, it would be great if for subscribers of Extensis Suitcase that we could link our Adobe account to access fonts from within Suitcase much the same way we can access Google fonts.

Select multiple anchored objects
The ability to Shift+click to select multiple anchored objects to be able to make changes to all of them.
One situation this would be useful in is when you have multiple anchored frames for interactive text boxes to update all of their shared properties like font, and font size.

Warning for Registration usage
WAY too many designers use Registration as a color in their jobs. This is a MAJOR mistake for print design. Indesign desperately needs a warning that can not be disabled every time Registration is attempted to be used, warning designers that it is NOT the same as Black, nor is it a "rich" black, and it WILL cause problems in printing.

Name of the image near the link icon
Near the link icon, add the option "show/hide file name (and or extension)".
This will help when you have a catalog with 1200 products and in order to get the SKU and Color to fill the caption, you must click the image, then return to the text tool.
I know there's ways to auto input the name of the image. But sometimes the image contain other Information not important.

share for review accept changes
It would be extremely helpful to allow the Share for Review comments to be implemented with a click of a button, just like we can currently do by importing PDF comments.
Having to retype the changes a reviewer suggests is not only time consuming, but also allows for errors, since it has to be retyped. And if this already works in the PDF comments, it should work on this.

Just like........actually do *something* to improve InDesign??
Many popular, highly voted Indesign feature requests—even some that you've responded to—have just been sitting here languishing for yearS...literally yearS. Would it be possible to do something? Like... just do something to improve the development of the program we all rely on for our careers? Thanks<3

J'aimerais savoir si Adobe pense optimiser la gestion des tableaux dans InDesign pour l'accessibilité des fichiers PDF
À quand le balisage automatique des tableaux (genre dans les styles de tableau) comme on le fait pour les styles de paragraphe (H1, H2, H3, BlockQuotes, Liste)?
<TR> row
<TH> header
<TD> data
Exemple quand on se retrouve avec un ou plusieurs « en-tête » TH vertical pour ne pas à avoir à gérer ça dans le PDF1 vote -
TOC update don't delete interactive button defined with "GoToTarget"
When working with the Table of Contents feature in InDesign and you have created interactive buttons that use "Go to Target...", the entries of these buttons are deleted (the defined target) when the Table of Contents is updated. There is nothing left but to re-enter/enter all button targets. It would be great if only new targets had to be added to the new buttons and existing ones were kept.

Layered Fonts
Please do provide a tool to implement layered fonts. The tool would need to:
- be able to automatically superimpose different layers of a font with different styles (color etc.) in the same place, or in a slight interval to create a shadow-effect
- be applicable to initials (as this is a very common use for layered fonts)2 votes -
Button "back to starting point" in search and replace window
When working through a document you need to search and replace words and other if you recognize a typo error, another word needed or anything else. But if you "search and replace" forward and you find a hit somewhere further ahead or back there is no button to jump back from where you started your search.
Then you need to remember exactaly and search by scrolling where you started.
A button "back to starting point" would eleminate these useless search.2 votes -
fix options for interactive forms (text fields) - default text, font, size, color, alignment, etc. - none currently work CC 21
when making interactive PDF, the Text field doesn't hold the default text, or the font, size and doesn't hold the color.... The text field should hold all the text & attributes that are set in indesign, but even the options for the text field doesn't hold the font or size.

script no longer works in Monterey
Don't Adobe and Apple talk to each other? Every time one or the other changes tech, nothing works. They need to be on the same page as each other because it goes hand in hand with their products working together.

Add more dictionaries to InDesign
Please add hyphenation and spelling dictionaries for more languages.
According to my quick research, many European languages are missing:
Belarusian (millions)
Flemish (millions)
Serbian (millions)
Macedonian (1,400,000)
Basque (660,000)
Luxembourgish (400,000)
Icelandic (350,000)
Kashubian (200,000)
Faroese (66,000)
Sorbian (55,000)
Latin https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/31959424-add-latin-dictionary
...If you can’t provide support out of the box, you should at least develop an easy and user friendly way to install custom dictionaries:
https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/38014024-one-click-easy-install-for-hunspell-dictionariesThe leading app should not ignore minor languages and should support them as much as possible. Missing dictionaries affect millions and millions of readers worldwide.
It is not only about hyphenation, it is…

Highlighting non-consecutive words
I would like to easily highlight non-consecutive words in a document, e.g. names of people in an article, so that I can apply a style sheet to all the highlighted words with one click of the style sheet.
Don't want to use GREP, just a simple keystroke or keystroke combination, e.g. shift > highlight; shift, option > highlight.
Carpel tunnel syndrome is bad enough.
Thank you for the consideration.
