Please add "Default search scope" to the Preferences
Hi, Adobe design team!
I'm sorry to say, but NEVER IN MY LIFE have I wanted to search for something inside a single Story. It's kinda infuriating to have to switch to "Document" as the Search scope every time. Can we please have the chance to change, what is our default?
Thanks in advance!1 vote -

Deselect files in Book-Panel
It would be nice if there was an option in the book panel to deselect all book files. If there are a lot of files (in my case over 100), it is very difficult to do this. You have to click very precisely between two entries, which can be very tedious. A menu item "Delesect all" in the book menu would therefore be very desirable.

Restore adjustment arrows in Transform window for X/Y and W/H values
When InDesign updated to the 2024 version, I lost the ability to use the Essentials Classic layout with the Properties bar at the top instead of the right, and in the Transform window, either as part of the Properties bar or on its own, lost the up and down adjustment arrows with seemingly no way to bring them back. I prefer being able to make tiny adjustments by sixteenth increments rather than at random or just eyeballing it and this change is absolutely driving me insane. I've rolled back to the previous version for now, but I know you all…

Option for Overprint to apply to black text only (not graphics) by default
It would be great to have two options in Preferences for how overprint behaves.
Appearance of Black Objects: Overprint Swatch at 100% (tick or untick)
Appearance of Black Text: Overprint Swatch at 100% (tick or untick)I spend a ton of time correcting black on graphics before printing files and it can be quite fiddly at times with illustrations. This would save so much time + printing errors when I miss stuff!

Find/Change filter by Alternate Layout
I frequently create alternative layouts for product docs aimed at UK and US markets.
Where codes and serials need changing across an entire range, it would be great to find/replace by Layout, not the entire document.

Adjust pagenumbers if sheets are hidden
It's a great feature to be able to hide sheets. But, if we do so, the automatic pagenumbers should adjust to the shown pages, not counting the hidden pages as well.

The 'character direction' function for Arabic text layout
The 'character direction' function does not exist in the new version of Indesgin (2024). As a result, I cannot layout an Arabic text correctly. How can I do this?

Indesign Online Dashboard improvements - Custom URL, Google analytics, Fname direct to send clients
Indesign is hands down the best software to design & create digital brochures with its advanced technology & features its impeccable. HOWEVER talking about the Online Dashboard System its not leading the industry.
I've done my research and a lot of the online digital brochure creator websites are ahead.
I will list below a few new ideas/features I'd love to see Adobe implement to put them back in the lead when it comes to the publishing feature.
(Some of these ideas are already being done by the online companies)<> Custom URL, so it looks more professional to clients rather…

CUSTOM URLS FOR ADOBE PUBLISH ONLINE BROCHURES
<> Custom URL, so it looks more professional to clients rather than it saying "Ind.Adobe" with loads of numbers following it.
<> While on the subject of the URL, it would be fantastic if we could customise the cover photo/thumbnail rather than it showing the adobe logo, I'd like to show my brands logo. It would be a great feature for when we send the link in WhatsApp

Find/Change Apply to Anchored Text Boxes
Find/change should be able to include any text boxes anchored in the search of a text box/story/selection. I use anchored text box objects in tables a lot, and on occasion, it would be helpful to be able to make a change to all the text with a certain paragraph style in a story, but not in the whole document. But with anchored objects, find/change won't see any text in anchored objects if you select the text box with the anchors, and you can't select multiple anchored objects at the same time. This makes it impossible/useless to find/change multiple text items…

Why not add File Suffixes functionality for all export types? (PDF etc...)
It's just what the tagline suggests. Seems simple to complete.

New “Hide Spread/Show Spread” feature: automatic page number adjustment
I was excited to discover the new 'Hide Spread/Show Spread' feature in InDesign. Page numbers on visible spreads don’t adjust automatically when other spreads are hidden in the document. Thus the feature becomes useless for any document that uses page numbers – at least within my workflow.

Add space before when first on page
When there is a Title which is set to be first on page, in some cases it is needed to have some space before. For example, chapter title. It is easier to set that through Paragraph Style than to set as a box feature. That feature existed in Xerox Ventura Publisher more than 30 years ago, and exists in Affinity Publisher. It is one smole checkbox in Indent and Spacing, but a big help for us who are in book layout business.

Allow pop-up panels such as paragraph styles editor to be resized
When the operating system font size and/or software UI scale is increased it causes the bottom of the panel to be too long and clipped off under the Windows taskbar. Most of the panel is just empty grey space so can be scaled down without losing any of the contents.

Password protect "publish online" documents.
Password protecting "publish online" EPUB documents would be extremely valuable for my work. A lot of my files contain sensitve information that need to remain with the business.

Stop disabling dynamic spellcheck after every update.
Every time the updates roll out, the spellcheck gets turned off.
