3. Larger preview window on Place image dialog box

   When picking images in a multi-page document from a PDF or Adobe Illustrator files, it would be nice to see a preview size bigger than the 125x125-ish window that is used in the dialog box. Thanks!

4. Repackage

   If you edit a file in a package with external links, a REPACKAGE option should put all links that are not in the LINKS folder there.

   extra; CLEAN PACKAGE should remove all files that are not used in the package.

   This would avoid having to make a fresh package after every edit

5. Start supporting "Working off Network Drives/shares"

   Users are expected to download files to their local HDD and then work the project locally before committing it to a server/file share. this is ridiculous to ask. some of these files are huge and would consume the HDD space on the MAC/PC, let alone the network traffic and congestion they would create saving back and forth. Adobe needs to fix this issue so that users can work on a file and save to network share for other designers to work. InDesign and all products from adobe have this behavior. locking for sometimes days before someone is able to open and work on the file. it does not matter the size of the file or the Adobe file type that it is saved in. permissions based errors like this need to be worked on to allow better flow for end users trying to get projects finished quicker.

6. Please include more options in Check Spelling

   If you could please include similar features as the Find/Change button to the Check Spelling option - an ignore/include masters button during a spell check would be particularly useful.

7. Ability to apply color to some or all of the individual style names in paragraph/character style palettes.

   It would be so great to be able to apply color to some or all of the individual style names in paragraph/character style palettes, the way we can in the drop-down tool palettes.

   The InDesign interface is terribly small (compared to Illustrator or Photoshop) and even my special computer glasses -- in conjunction with a 43-inch monitor -- are unable to compensate. There are times when I have 30-50 styles for large projects but use particular ones consistently over the others. I have a very hard time picking these out without stopping to stare, get close, examine the palette -- even if I've typed them in ALL CAPS. I just laid out a book which required four versions of the same style but all with different indents across the page, plus accompanying separators, each of those with different indents as well, and they had to be applied five to 10 times on the same pages, so you can imagine how much clicking was going on. I set up ten shortcuts to manage them all, but anytime I needed to access them directly (such as to edit or duplicate), they were lost in the many other paragraph styles in the palette unless I pulled up close to the interface and searched. It was very tedious. And this is just one project. I've run into this many times. If the interface can't be enlarged, can we at least color code within the palettes the way we can within the drop-down tools?

   I've included a partial screenshot of a para styles palette. It may look easy enough to read, but in real-time view, it is tiny on the screen. I hoped my 43" monitor would give me a larger interface but without changing the resolution and affecting other programs that are fine, no joy.

8. Ability to copy link name only from links panel, as additional option to 'copy platform style path' 'full user path' etc.

   I often copy links from one spread to another document and then need to search for the link on a a media archive for a client. It would be really helpful to be able to just copy the link name alone, through right clicking the link in the links panel (even better, without extension!) for searching purposes. This would also be helpful when searching your machine or a server for a missing link.

   The only time I use this function is when searching elsewhere for an image / link, and therefore need to use one of the existing options, and then delete the unecessary text either side of the link name.

   Thank you!

9. Put back scroll arrows on the scrollbars in InDesign

   With the update from InDesign 2020 to InDesign 2021 I noticed that the scroll arrows at the end of the right and bottom scroll bars have disappeared (see Image 1 (ID). In Illustrator 2021 however they are still present (see Image 2 (Ill).
   I can't find any setting in the preferences to toggle them on or off.
   I use these arrows frequently and the omission of these arrows in the new InDesign are very annoying to me.
   Hope to hear from you soon.

11. Tagging/Notifications for Guests

    I use the Share for Review feature mostly with users who do not have or need Adobe licenses - and for security all documents have to be password protected. Therefore, most of my reviewers are 'guests' and only receive notifications if I reply to something they said. If I add a new comment on my own, or revise text or try to direct their attention to a new Pin, they do not receive any kind of notification. It would be useful if I could tag guest users via their email address and they could get an email. If this is how it works now I cannot seem to get it to work properly.

    A general message when the link is updated would also be nice for all users.

12. Rethinking pages with an infinite pasteboard and multi-user collaboration

    Let us bring InDesign into an open and more collaborative world.

    The individual pasteboard and contained page structure of InDesign are very constraining. It is time for a different approach to how we do page layout.

    Let us move to an infinite style pasteboard canvas (a la Illustrator, or Adobe XD, Figma) where your imagination can run wild! Think of it as a blown-up version of the Pages Panel with the same click-to, snap-to rearrange functionality, but without the extra layer of InDesign UI baggage.

    • Pages would function the same way with a left-to-right, top-to-bottom order, snapping layouts into the proper page arrangement.
    • A visual thread can bind groups of pages together to maintain pagination and order.
    • The same thread could double as the indicator of the document's spine for printed matter and the starting point for the measurement ruler.
    • Master Pages would be more like how they are presented in the Page Panel, prepending the pages, but could live contextually, presented only when prompted.

    With this addition, it would be amazing to (fingers crossed) bring collaborative editing into the fold. Opening up the pasteboard makes working with other contributors fun, effective, and overall time-saving. Teams can work in tandem to concept out a project, work on specific areas of the design between page layout, copy editing, artwork creation, and overseeing the creation from afar. If anyone has used Figma, you know how great collaborative features would be if brought to InDesign. Forget about cobbled together documents with varying pages, typographic and object styles, and separate applications like InCopy. No more lone star designers feeling the weight of impending deadlines because “there can only be one” person in the doc at a time.

    InDesign would also become a better educational tool, allowing instructors to showcase typographic concepts and demonstrate page layout.

    A different approach to how we view layout structure and design in InDesign's, plus the ability to work together in a single document would evolve InDesign into a more intuitive and productive software.

13. InDesign: convert text to outlines when exporting to PDF

    When exporting a file from Indesign instead of using the Transparency Flattner Presets and then start changing things on the PDF export popup, I suggest to add a checkmark on the PDF export popup - Convert all texts to outlines.

    Itll make it more easy to all of the users, Iam working with Indesign for more than 10 years, each time I installed anew version of Indesign i needed to configure it again and each time I didn't understand why didn't you add this option.

    Thanks,
    Idan

14. By providing the flexibility to apply language settings to the entire document.

    Hi i have an indesign document and just finished working on it. And i realized that language setting on this document is Turkish. I want to change language all texts in this document to english but I cannot do this all at once. I have to select all the texts one by one and manually to change the language setting. How can I change the language setting of all texts in the document to US english at once? Answer: There is no way at the moment :(

    I can click on the text box, select the whole text with ctrl a, and change the language setting from the language section on the top toolbar. But there is not only 1 text box in the document, there are many. It would be great if I could change the language setting in all text boxes in one go.

    This feature is important for me because text hyphenation doesnt work good if language is not correct.

17. Be able to access loaded place cursor.

    When you place multiple images they are in the loaded place cursor until you place all of them. If you do not place all of them it is not possible to get back to the loaded cursor with the rest of the images.

    Being able to access the loaded place cursor with remaining images either through a shortcut or interface would be great.

18. Combo box and list box csv import

    Hello, I was wondering if you all could make a system for Excel or CSV data to be imported into interactive elements like combo boxes and list boxes. Its a real pain to manually input an array of items and also not have the ability to edit them in their place. The current process requires deleting an element in the list, and retyping it and then manually type in alot of options. Imagine if having to make a combo box that included all 50 states.

20. Magic Wand Tool

    Magic Wand Tool is necessary for InDesign to select not only objects but this should also work according to InDesign to select the same fonts, and Styles of Objects, Paragraphs, Characters, and Tables, etc.
    Magic Wand would be beneficial for the Selection of Fonts and their Size and Styles, just we will have to check/turn on the options according to required selections on the page, spread, or document, etc.
