Sorry can't find how to do it? I import a document from Word to InDesign with footnote, I remeber someone told to do it via script but it doens't work anymore
Do you know how can I do it? -

I think, the endnotes have to undergo massive enhancements. I, personally, don’t understand the decision to put the endnotes in extra frames. This is not the way I would suspect to place endnotes. In my eyes they are definitely part of the story in which they are used (footnotes are implemented as part of the story, either).
They should be the last text elements at the end of the text flow. Additionally there should be the possibility (similar to renumbering of footnotes based on sections) to place (and renumber) them in one story/text flow at the end of a section! This would reflect the use case of endnotes at chapter end (while preserving the text chain throughout the whole document). -

I absolutely hate this feature. It has ruined my life! Bad idea.

Is there a way to renumber once imported? I work with text in multiple chapters with heading dividers in the Endnotes.

This is a welcome addition, although, I have a rather large improvement/request. It would be great if you were able to restart the numbering if the endnotes without having to keep every chapter in a seperate story. Basically, It would be awesome to have the option 'Restart numbering every Page/Spread/Section' like with footnotes.

The link you provided (and https://www.adobeprerelease.com) do not load. I get a blank page with four boxes that appear and disappear.

This is very good news for me too. I'm testing it right now and it solves the most common case (all the endnotes at the end of the book) for me pretty good. Works as expected.

I already do enough involuntary QA for Adobe.
My employer pays me to actually design things. I can not afford the downtime to troubleshoot your programs.

Thanks for this feedback ****. Apart from this, do you find the feature useful, will it solve the problems you are currently facing?

That’s good news and very welcome! I have started to try it out. One thing that I already want to remark: the endnotes are to be placed in their own, separate text frame. It would be interesting if they could follow directly after the article in that same text frame.

A similar request already exists:

Please don't forget to vote there either! -

Add a Endnote option to the Footnotes feature.
The workaround using cross-references is a real pain. It is very disappointing indesign cannot do something word is been capable of for years.

Thanks for filing this feature request.
Is this similar to the Endnote References? -

InDesign needs a dynamic way to keep track of (and insert) academic references, like MS Word does. A lot of people use InDesign to write and properly format their academic papers; thus, to them, it is essential to often insert quotations.
