AI agent for remembering text content style
I often work with instruction manuals that have been poorly translated, and I need to reword them so they read clearly and professionally. A lot of the content is similar across different jobs, and I’d like to stay consistent with how I’ve written things in the past without having to dig through old files manually.
It would be great if InDesign had an AI agent that could:
Learn my style and remember my text preferences (e.g. whether I use “kg” or “KG”).
Automatically reference past projects so I don’t have to copy/paste from older manuals and allow me to ask…

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.

InDesign Document Icon Previews in macOS Finder
Hi. Please, can we have InDesign files in MacOS Finder show the document preview. See attached screenshot for exactly what I mean.
I have relied on 3rd party developers over the last 10+ years (ArtView and inddPreview.app) to provide this essential feature. Unfortunately Apple has dropped support for legacy plugins (so called Quick Look generators) so inddPreview.app has stopped working.
I have over 15,000 InDesign files, and to now do what is usually a quick visual finder search is impossible with the Finder only showing the generic InDesign Document Icon. (Yes, I can use Bridge, but this is a clunky…

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.

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.

Apply effects to layers. Please.
I would like the ability to apply effects to layers. For instance, I would like “Layer A” to multiply over “Layer B”. What I don't want is all the elements on “Layer A” that are pink and green in the attached reference image to multiply over one another.

Integration of AI Text Generator in Adobe InDesign
If InDesign had an integrated AI text generator, it would be wonderful. Having the ability to correct texts, check spelling and grammar, rewrite something that doesn't sound right, and so, would be a powerful tool for those of us working in editorial design. I think this feature is a no-brainer for a program like InDesign, but since Adobe doesn't have a text generator (that I know), we haven't seen it yet. Dreaming is free! I believe it's an incredible function, and it would be fantastic to have it in the future. Fingers crossed!

Right-click "remove hyperlink"
Why can't Adobe do this yet? It is 2025 for God's sake. Removing a hyperlink is a multi-step process. It should be a simple right click. And I am talking about the actual hyperlink, not the character style. I already have a script that will remove unwanted styles with no active hyperlink beneath them. I just want a FAST, EASY way to remove unwanted hyperlinks that clients ALWAYS seem to insert, even though they know they don't want them included.

Add an “Empty Output” Option for Text Variables (Urgent Request)
Dear Adobe InDesign team,
As a professional typesetter/designer, I heavily rely on the text variables feature to automate running headers, footers, and other dynamic text in my documents. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to specify an empty or null output when a text variable evaluates to nothing. Instead, InDesign inserts the last used value or some default text. This forces me to manually adjust the layout or apply complex GREP styles to hide unwanted characters when the variable is empty.
Please add an “Empty Output” option to the text variables feature that allows the variable to output nothing at…

Assignment scripting and linking
Currently there is no way to script the link of stories to assignments, I've been trying to script this but it's not possible. this would speed up my workflow as well as the workflow of my coworkers considerably to be able to do this. Also I think this is along the same line, there is no way to change assignment location via script. this doesn't come up often but its frustrating that it cannot be scripted.

custom page numbering
When you want to number the pages differently than the standard correlative, for example with a date system, weekly, monthly... There is no automatic option for the pages to be numbered by day of the week. If in addition to the options 1, 2, 3... 01, 02, 03... a, b, c... i, ii, iii... you add a "custom" with a popup to a list of... for example 20 custom fields (for months, weeks, work groups, jobs...) would be perfect.
