Track Changes and Show Track Changes switched on by default
Our users are very dependent on the Track Changes and Show Track Changes function within Adobe InCopy. Currently with the workflow we are using users are having to manually switch this on every time a new article/story is created.
Users would like to have both of these options switched on by default when InCopy loads so they do not have to manually enable these.
Please develop this feature so that end users do not have to manually enable these options each time a new story is created.

Ability to brand "Publish Online" docs by adding a favicon and customize the URL
I love this option for publishing professional documents online, but I NEED to be able to brand the digital experience with our logo and change the URL so it isn't indd.adobe. It's confusing/less professional for our customers.

add the ability to create multiple versions of the same document with minimal effort
I create a newsletter, and along with it, an "accessible" version with minimal fonts and styles. Right now, I have to copy and paste each article into the accessible version, and manually apply each paragraph style in order to make things work out. There has GOT to be an easier way to make this happen!
I tried the "paste and link" feature, which would at least save me the copying and pasting of each individual section, but the second one makes an edit and updates the link, all those accessible styles revert back to the original! At the very least,…

Share for review - Select All Bottom
Create a select all bottom that allows people to select multiple documents at once and then share them for review. Right now, this is not an option for users and having to select each document individually can be time consuming.
I use Adobe to share over 100 documents with other users and this is a very manual task. Imagine having to select and share 100+ documents one by one.

Modify email addresses in auto-fill suggestions of Share for Review
In Share for Review, in the line under, “Create a web link for stakeholders to comment and provide feedback.” When typing in an email, there is a dropdown that suggests users of the organization. Would very much like to be able to remove expired email addresses from terminated employees, and other erroneous email entries.

UI setting grayed out/can't use at necessary screen resolution
I use a very large TV monitor, so I can see all my work, and as such, the screen res is higher, but your UI scaling feature is grayed out, and info says it's because of my screen res, so does not allow those settings. It's the only software I own that does not enlarge UI along with everything else. Do you not think that if we need a larger screen, we don't also need a larger interface??? We are not all squinting at laptops when we design books. As such, I can't make out the panel and menu options/…

Please add database publishing feature
InDesign has become a powerful DTP-application but one feature is missing. Please add support for real database publshing (catalogs etc.). This feature would make thrid-party plugins like inCatalog or inData obsolet..
Database-Publshing should be a feature of the core..1 vote -
Allow for bullet numbers to display both left AND right
I am a script editor, and formatter. I'd like to be able to create script heading styles that are industry standard. This involves have the scene heading number (which can be styled as a bullet) both on the left AND right of the page. ie 'both' sides. Current we can only style them on the left (unless there's a way to do this I'm not aware of?).

Generative AI features for document design and styles application/revision
When can we expect some more comprehensive/advanced baked-in AI features in InDesign? E.g. apply this doc's formatting to this unformatted one, apply these styles likewise for the next 40pgs, take my branding library and apply it to this new doc, review this doc and flag stylistic inconsistencies, etc. Seems like when and not if. Looking forward to the day!

Real time Collaboration on a single file
Problem:
If DIFFERENT USERS need to work on the same file AT THE SAME TIME.Goal:
Two or more users working on real time on the same file.Currently:
they need to save a copy of the parent file and then merge them into one unified file.Solution:
With this new feature, only elements touched by each user would be locked for the rest. By saving the document would mean to release all objets and send updates to be visible to everyone.This is really important to create solid workflows and to avoid potential mistakes while merging files if two…

When you create a new layer, it should be selected
It doesn't make any sense to create a new layer and not have it selected. Obviously, if I'm creating a new layer, I want to put stuff on it. Make newly created layers selected automatically. For once, Illustrator gets this right and InDesign gets it wrong.

Conversion of Text Encoding
InDesign is missing a built-in function to convert different Chinese text encoding, e.g. Big5 to GBK or vice versa
Right now, the only way to do it is to do the conversion of encoding elsewhere and paste the text back in InDesign. But then all formatting will be lost

"Indent to here" from the right side
it would be very helpful if, beside the option "indent to here", there is another optione to set a "indent to here from the right side".
For Example if i have a text, where the last two words in the last line should be on the right side, but no text above should go as far as this two words .1 vote -
Duplex options in print dialog
I would like to be able to set duplex on / off and flip direction in the print dialog.
How it is currently setup, I have to change the printer, click "Setup..." which gives a warning about settings conflicts, click "OK", change the printer again (because I'm not using the default), scroll down to "More Settings", click "More Settings", navigate the HP print settings to adjust duplex settings, click "ok", click "print"
I would like the duplex settings brought out to the main print dialog because going through about 10 steps to change 2 settings is a huge waste of…

Provide Mac Pages files to be imported in InDesign.
I layout books, flyers, brochures, anything that have to be printed. I do that since InDesign V2.0 – Mac OS 9. A big bunch of the people in the publicity, editing and publishing industries work on Macs. I'm still very surpised that InDesign did not yet provide import capability for Mac Pages native files in InDesign. – So I do what I have to do… Open the Pages file, export it to a Micosoft Word file (your all time friend), an then import the Word file I have to work with in InDesign. I'm sure you all know that. I do…
