Please turn off these stupid pushes to use AI. I can decide whether or not on my own to use it. This is a tool. I use it well without artificial help. Humans forever.

Please make it possible to turn these off completely. I do not want to have to try a new feature when I am in the middle of working. It is intrusive and time wasting. My work also contractually does not allow me to share anything via AI. I work in the publishing industry where confidentiality is paramount.. This is extremely important.

It's unnecessary and such a waste to time to stop working to have to close out these boxes. Remove them completely or give us an option to opt-out.

These blue bars are absolutely beyond infuriating. I don't need AI help with finding/replacing font sizes or creating a PDF when I've been doing it for 20-plus years just fine without AI. Quit forcing this **** down our throats.

Adding my support to this. I have the same issue as Jen (MildGrooveOn). The "Meet your new AI Assistant" popup has shown up at least 5 times in the last 24 hours for me. I need a way to tell it to permanently go away.

Please give us the option to turn off all the annoying blue pop-ups
thanks

InDesign 21.6 on Mac: the blue AI Assistant promotional banner repeatedly returns while I’m working, even after I close it. Please make dismissal persistent and add a preference to permanently disable promotional banners. These recurring messages interrupt production work.

Unneeded, unnecessary and redundant. If you insist on continuing this practice, please make them disappear after 1 viewing.

I'm scrolling through these posts and, while I basically agree that these new-blue-dot-notification features for new users are actively interfering with my daily work, many of the suggestions being posted resolve to a request for some kind of preference that affects this behavior. Since we are (as has been noted by other posters, many times) resetting our preferences on a very regular basis, that doesn't seem like a functional way to allow experienced users to supress the out-of-the-box experience that the InDesign developers have built. Let's be clear, here -- we are resetting our preferences all the time due to flaws in InDesign, right? It's not a reasonable workflow expectation, to be required to FREQUENTLY remove all workspace customizations in order to get a basic layout feature to work as designed. And this fact means that we're getting the new-installation behavior on a very regular basis; we're seeing it so often that we're asking you to please, please give us a way to STOP seeing the new-installation experience.

Not sure how you'd handle it in macOS, but it's pretty normal in Windows for an application to use the Registry in such a way as to make it easy for us to turn off New User Blue Dots with a reghack. Similarly, I used to use some audio manipulation software that allowed you to set those kinds of super-preferences (ones you'd lose if you reset your preferences, right?) by leaving 0-byte text files in the main application directory, with names like NoUserInteraction.txt or ResetAllPrefsAtLaunch.txt.

In a similar vein, there are already InDesign end user hacks where I found editing a .plist -- on a Windows box. I did a bit of a double-take, seeing that, but that seems like a fairly obvious choice for an app that has to be cross-platform.

Stop forcing these popups. I have work to do. InDesign 20.1

Yes these are terribly annoying across all adobe apps. Please give the option to disable entirely.

As a developer, we are resetting our InDesign preferences at least on a daily basis. We also do this before every demonstration of our software. Each time we do, in InDesign 2025 we are confronted by a host of what I will call "marketing messages" (e.g. suddenly showing the History Panel and the Context Menu - if I see that guys face one more time...), and a host of other features that Adobe wants to draw attention to. This is incredibly disruptive to our development and end-users have complained that this hurts their productivity as well. Perhaps there can be an initial presentation of these new features, but there must be a way to shut them off completely. Otherwise, as it stands now at every reset of InDesign preferences, these messages start all over again. A simple preference to "suppress marketing messages and help popups" or something of that nature would be very well-received by both developers and end-users alike.

It would be nice if we had a way to turn off the stupid Tip box that pops up on every tool every time we want to select a different tool. It's annoying to the 11th degree. It doesn't matter if I look at the tip, click "got it," make a wish, do an Indian rain dance, or whatever. It always comes back, and there have already been three versions of updates since it started happening. Enough is enough. We need a button, an option in preferences, a way to opt out or something. Its annoying.

INDD 20.0.1
annoying pop up windows - those in blue window or other window, with some random totally UNWANTED tips.

THis has never been so bad before, it keeps repeating even after i click on the cross in next day or two the very same pop up window appears!!!!

this is super annoying, I have no time to waste may time to click on that every time it appears!

I NEED TO WAY HOW TO DISABLE THEM ALL!

Stop it with these stupid popups. Your software is expensive, professionals don't want this distracting **** when working.

Why does this even have to be spelt out?

No more popups, new features, reminders, EVER.

I find it unprofessional that Adobe InDesign constantly provides tips for “better usage” while I am working. It feels outdated, reminiscent of Windows 95 or Clippy, and disrupts my workflow. This feature should be revised to be optional and less intrusive.

Agreed. Please give us an option in Preferences to turn on / off these tutorials.

Stop popping up these tool tips and "tours." I don't want them. I don't need them. I have work to do.

Please make an option to turn these off.
It's the most irritating addition to any software i've ever experienced.
No problem if I can disable them — but I can't !!

Please give us the option to turn off all the annoying blue pop-ups.
I keep having to turn them off. Every day. Over and over.
I've used Indesign for decades — I really don't need this rubbish.
