Linked Docs: Seeing where the children of a linked item is from the parent document
File A is linked to B, C, D, and E (the children)
I want to see that information while looking at file A (the parent).Currently, we can only see the link path when the child is selected.
Example: I have used the content placer to link a block of text into 4 documents. I want to see which 4 documents that block of text is linked to while in the parent document. That way I can quickly navigate to those 4 documents rather than searching through hundreds to sync up any updates later.

character styles stay/strip/replace in VARIABLES
Headers created with Variables need to be able to do three different things with character styles that are included in text :
- The Character Style stays present in the VARIABLE ;
- The Character Style is stripped.
- The Character Style is mapped to another character style.
These settings should accessible in the Style: <stylename> section of the TOC options -- customizable for each paragraph style used to generate the TOC.
The most notable use for the mapping style is when the typeface between the TOC and the body text of the book differs,…

Recently used in Find/Change Format (in Find/Change)
The recently used dropdowns for Find What and Change to are really helpful to re-use recent search terms. Something similar for the Find Format and Change Format options would save a lot of time.
The dropdowns could work well, but being able to dynamically (within each document/book) specify two or three to keep as buttons would be even more helpful, for the most used changes, which for me are really simple things like 'Character style: italics' (Find or Change to my predefined character style called italics).

let users change app language dynamically, without re-installing the app.
Users can't but reinstall apps in order to change language(e.g. Korean -> English).
I want it to be more simple.
Mandatory reinstallation just for changing language is overkill.12 votes -
Workspace Issues with every document
Using 2019 Adobe InDesign on Mac OS Mojave
Whenever I open a new document, or open a recent document, my workspace panels on the left disappears every time. It never happened in 2018. It's quite annoying having to reset the workspace with every document opened. Please fix. Thank you!

Place > (Show Import Options)
I use this feature daily and would so prefer to use my keyboard arrow keys to cycle through the image thumbnails than the tiny dialogue box arrows.

Adjust Layout
Adjust Layout is not working right. Please give the option to adjust only margins and nothing else as was working good in CC 2018. The new feature is giving a lot of trouble.

Find/Change options for variables
Currently, you can only search for all variables used. But that's it. There is no way to search for the contents of variables or find a specific variable used.

Allow to use a footnote multiple times on one page
I'm working with tech documents and spec lists that often have one footnote applying for several items like:
Item A
Item B (footnote 1)
Item C (footnote 2)
Item D (footnote 1)
Item E (footnote 3)Instead of having footnote 1 listed twice (which looks very odd and consumes space), it would be awesome to have some slick way to deal with this without the need of working with crossreferences and alike.
I'm aware of adding a superscript 1 for the second appearance but it doesn't automatically counts up when adding a new footnote prior to the automatic footnote.

Spacing & increment styles
The inclusion of preset spacing styles (for individual objects) would be very helpful. You could set up a several spacing increment styles and have a one click approach to spacing. this would be very helpful for catalog design work.

Order of colour swatches when loading from another document
When loading colour swatches from other documents, can you please adjust the program so it brings them in from top to bottom or the same order as the document it comes from. It is so frustrating they load from the bottom of the list first and have to manually pull the main colours back up to the top every time. And there doesn't seem to be a button to switch the order. Unless you can advise me...

Save INDD file in previous version INDD (e.g. CC 2019 can save in CC 2018)
It would be great if InDesign can save INDD file in previous version INDD (e.g. CC 2019 can save in CC 2018). Yes, I know about IDML but it's not exactly what I need.

Adobe's Collaborate should alert user when someone else is viewing/ editing the file
InDesign Files shared with team members through Adobe's Collaborate features do not alert users when someone else is viewing/ editing a file. Instead, conflicted copies are created.
A team member opening a file someone else is viewing / editing should see an alert to avoid the creation of conflicting copies / improve collaboration.
Without this, our team is unlikely to use Adobe's Collaborate feature.

Footnotes *from different text frames* in *separate text frame*
New footnotes in InDesign 14 does not suite for complex layouts with many text frames and tables on one page.
There should be also a solution for footnotes collected from different text frames / tables on a page.
