Option for Unit & Increment preferences to be application wide not document specific
I realize the value in units being document specific but I would like the option to make it application wide. I work with another department and while they need the document to be in picas I need it to be in inches. It would be nice if I didn't have to manually change the preferences every time I received a document back from them.

IP addresses viewing
Please make IP addresses available for those that view published documents from InDesign. It protects the creator to know specifically who and when a document was viewed. Thanks.

Duplicate/ copy-paste object inside same group
When I duplicate (alt+drag) an item that’s within a layer, the duplicate will be pasted outside the group in the layer panel.
What I expect to happen is the duplicate to be pasted directly above the original, within the same group. When multiple groups are selected I expect each layer to be pasted above their original item inside each group, or ask me I i’d like to place them above each other.
At least give us the option how this behaves in the layer panel. It’s annoyingly time consuming to have to manually put them back into the group instead…

Adjust image frame to pure white background
I do a lot of shoes catalogues, where white background is used on images.
It would be nice to have a tool that detects pure with and adjust the frame to that area.I do have clipping paths on the image, but it crops also the natural shadow.
Something like the PS magic wand, where you can select the offset of the frame.
ID will detect all the exterior pure white and adjust a frame around it with an offset of Xmm.

Support headlines in separate column (sideheads)
It's a pretty common layout to have headline paragraphs in a separate column and their corresponding body paragraphs to the right. (See attached images for examples.) This layout is currently only supported by creating tables, but this isn't semantically correct for the content.
It would be great if InDesign supported assigning paragraph styles to specific columns, e.g. H1 spans columns 1-3, H2 is column 1, body copy spans columns 2-3.

Add ability to export and import styles
It would be quite useful to be able to export and import styles in the same way that it's possible to do this to document colours. This would add a more consistent feel to the program, and make it easier to use. It would also eliminate having to send documents to get styles to someone else, saving a lot of time packaging, zipping, etc.

Option to minimise titlebar (as implemented in Bridge)
I recently noticed that in Bridge the titlebar is scaled down 50%.
It would be good if this would be implemented in InDesign (and Illustrator and Photoshop) too.
Being it an option in the preferences > user interface scaling would be even more practical and logical.1 vote -
Hebrew Help files still uses the term Master instead of Parent
Under "Work with parent pages" in Hebrew Help for InDesign, while there is a note explaining the change in the term Master page to Parent page, not only it wasn't fixed in the text, the word Master is written in Hebrew letters. This is absurd.
The correct term in Hebrew is
דף-אב
which in fact means Parent-Page to begin with. It was always non-inclusive language. In the attached screenshot the words Master in Hebrew are marked.1 vote -
Change gutter color
Please let us change the color of the gutter guides. The Cyan hurts my eyes and is annoying in layout. I can find options to change everything else but the color of the gutter guides.

Autoplay Media Workaround
My video is set to play on page load and repeat. This works well in Chrome on both desktop and mobile. However, the autoplay option is off by default in Safari. I would like to see some way to embed my video. In this case, I am only utilizing this as a background element to add dynamics. Allow me to add animation or allow me to embed MP4 that will autoplay on all devices. Pretty please?

Allow people Tagged in comments to filter by comments they are tagged in.
We have multiple reviewers in a share for review document. When we tag them in a comment they get an email that they have been tagged. However, there is no means for them to filter comments by items they are tagged in. Sure, they can filter by reviewer, but we should also have 'filter by user tagged' OR a button that says 'show me items I am tagged in' or simply a section 'Person tagged' with a button 'Me' etc. This is valuable as it saves clients time having to scroll through comments not relevant to them and will give…

Please give us option to ADJUST SPACE BETWEEN PAGES.
I've always used PDFs when sending clients proofs but thought I'd give the Share for Review a try. I was surprised by the small amount of space between pages, with no way to increase it. I regularly send multiple design options to clients and that small space/gap between pages makes it difficult since they all seem to blend together (the eyes don't get much of a break between options). Unfortunately, this will keep me from using the Share for Review feature so I hope you decide to add an option to adjust spacing. Thank you.

Update the Review Panel
I have been using Share for Review for a couple of years now.
First: Kudos to Adobe for the recent update to the website tools, especially the login banner and the zoom buttons.
There are still a few things that I would suggest changing on the app side, specifically to the review panel and the window from the share drop down:
-Can we add an update button to the review panel? Or, even better, when you save (NOT Save As) have an option to update the review during the save process? Better than digging into the share windowpane just to…

Ink Alias with a already used Spot but at a Percentage
In designing a calendar, it would be preferable to design for multiple colors initially, and then if the customer wants 1 color instead, i can substitute the various colors for instead the picked spot, but at a different Tint Percentage. I can already create a swatch of the spot @ XX%, but now i want to replace "SetupGreen" with 60% 286, and "SetupOrange" with 20% 286, for example. And at the end I still want to output this one spot color, but the design now sets those elements to the ink density of that spot color.

More Control Over Embeds (Option to remove the publish online button from my embeds)
Dear Adobe.
It's time to stop acting like the "Tommy Hilfiger of Software" and allow users "Who Pay" for your software to remove your branding from final published pieces.
Who said this would be OK? Seriously, you don't see PPTX files trying this hard!
ALSO... Give users control of the embed framework. Maybe we don't NEED all the controls and labels on the bottom of published items and just need the published item.
Also... Give the user the option to change the background color.

A way to lock a pages location in the window?
Is there a way to lock a pages location in the window? If not it would be a really great enhancement!
Such as this example where I have located the page in the center of the workspace:
SCR-20221023-hpi.pngexpand image
And then unintentionally I move it with in the frame:
SCR-20221023-hq2.pngexpand image
This could be single page or a spread.
Having the ability to, with a shortcut, set this position for this page or any page in the document to remain in the same position relative to the window.
Thanks for taking a moment to consider this!
