Download HTML master from Publish Online
It would be nice to have the possibility to give sort of a HTML "master" with all the animations, buttons, interativities, etc. as can be seen in the uploaded document. That way, this master could be storaged where the client wants: own server, own PC, historical arquive in their web or wherever they would like.
Also, it makes it easier in case the designer/agency using Publish Online breaks parts with the client, breaks parts with Adobe, ends activity for good or any similar situation. And I'm pretty sure it would also be cool for Adobe to not have all that…2 votes -
Share for Review Strikethrough Comments Become Unmapped when Text is Deleted
My editor often uses the Strikethrough text tool in Share for Review. When I delete the specified text, the corresponding Strikethrough comment becomes unmapped. This is a problem in large documents because it is difficult to remember what part of the document the now unmapped comment referred to. My editor needs to be able to confirm that her requested edits were resolved.

Share for review – the necessity of an output preview
For a long time in the printing industry, we did our copies to print with low-resolution PDFs that we send directly to our customers by e-mail. The advantage of this method is that for other participants in the graphic industry, we can show how the documents we received will be processed, thanks to the output preview.
Since most printers don't necessarily print complex layouts and we are concerned with ensuring the quality of the files we receive, I was a little disappointed to see that this aspect of print control was not available in the current version of "Share for…

PLEASE give us a HISTORY panel in InDesign
It would make life so much easier for us to have a HISTORY panel. Photoshop does a fabulous job with this and I sorely miss it in InDesign. Yes, I know I can CTRL/Z, but the problem with that is that this is difficult to negotiate on a long document with many changing elements. It is very hard to remember just where I changed a style, or exactly which changes InDesign is making with each CTRL/Z. It is also very time consuming and it would really be a huge help with my workflow and save me a lot of time…

Floating sticky notes
Floating sticky notes that I can make myself, for example "Photos completed" "Text revised" "Needs consult" etc. that can be grabbed and stuck to pages, especially for long documents and that remain visible/accessible on every page.I want something I can just grab and stick, grab and stick, etc. rather than create/type a unique note for each page.

Leave links in the CC library when packaging a document.
Many of my links in my InDesign documents point to a shared CC library. So that I don't have to resend all the data when I package the document, it would be good to have a function that leaves the links of the document in the CC library and only collects the images that are not in the CC library.

Integrate Object style into preflight
Preflight should be able to check if object styles
are not correct. That would make it easy for me
to check if objects are in the correct position
and nothing was accidentally moved.2 votes -

Please make it possible to bulk edit colors in a merged document.
I often need to make a global color changes like you can in Illustrator. After spending an hour manually editing the spacing for each entry (some cursive fonts have funky spacing), it's maddening that I can't then change the color in the merged file when the color is coming out wrong in print. Please help!

Accessibility Layer or Plugin
As accessibility becomes a prioritized feature of all documents, its pertinent to include it without sacrificing aesthetics, which is Adobe's strength. One idea for this is for the designer to create the InDesign document as they normally would on an initial layer, and upon a secondary "layer" the plain text for an e-reader could be supplied, mapped to the corresponding visual layer. This could be a less destructive method than physically altering text box widths to avoid soft returns/rags, or creating new text boxes for each text/paragraph style. It would also export ready to go without further alteration in Acrobat.…

Indesign Share for Review User/Stakeholder UI experience
I am finding a lot of user error on my stakeholder's side when it comes time for them to review.
I think some basic information should pop up on how to leave a proper comment when they first access the review or fix it so it is always default to highlight/strikethrough.
For example: They can leave a regular comment just fine, however, I have no idea where in the text the change should be because they don't highlight the text first then click the tool needed. It's a simple step for people who are familiar with these reviews but some…

Book numbering options in one panel
Please streamline book numbering options into one panel. It's beyond aggravating to go from Layout -> Numbering & Section Options, then to the Book Panel -> Update Numbering and fumble around with that until you get it right. If the suggested panel had a "Preview" box as well, you could preview your changes until you get your desired result.

Make Arrowheads features same as Illustrator.
Why the control is the same, but result different for this Arrowhead feature from InDesign to Illustrator. I want to scale down arrowheads, but couldn't. Workaround is nice but why? when the Illustrator control works perfectly.

Text "before" and "after" user-definded variables
Text variables
For "User defined text" also allow to define "Text before..." and "Text after..." as it is possible for the predefined variables (like "Output date").
We often need pre- and post-text for self-defined variables2 votes -
Enable [None] in Character styles to be assigned a shortcut key
When I'm cleaning up a document, one thing I find frustrating is that to clear any character styles, I have to open the palette and click on [None]. All other styles I can assign a shortcut key to so I can work in the text on the keyboard to assign para and char styles. But I can't clear char styles w/o going back to the mouse and the char style palette.

Table of contents: control space between entry and number
Add a feature to control the amount of space between the entry and number in a table of contents.
At present, soft returns have to be added manually to prevent entry text coming too close to the number. This has to be redone every time the table of contents is updated. (Non-breaking spaces can be used in some instances but they do not always solve the problem.)

Provide an option to see items in the pasteboard area while the document is set to the preview mode.
I sometimes use the pasteboard to create simple items I want to place in my document later. It would be helpful to be able to access those items without having to switch view modes. Suggesting 3 options - normal, preview, and this one.

Search QR Codes when Finding/Replacing
I'm not sure if this is categorized correctly, but it would be nice if we are searching to fix text in a document that it also search and replace text that is used in QR codes so they don't get missed and are more easily fixed.

Document info in Indesign hyperlinks
I am implementing a sort of voting system for articles in a magazine (readers can vote wether or not they like an article). This means I have to implement 3 (more if I want a more detailed system) links per article. It would be handy to be able to use document info in the links so I can use this as parameters. Things like "Filename" "Pagenumber" "Section name" would really make this process a lot easier. I could create one set of links with these "parameters" and copy it to any section/Page/document and none of the links would have to…
