  1. Quickly Change Icon Panel Auto Collapse

    Depending upon the type of work I'm doing, I find myself going to Edit > Preferences > Interface and turning on or off Auto-Collapse Icon Panels.
    It would be very convenient, and save several clicks, if this could be done on the Icon Panel itself, either with a checkbox or a toggle icon.

  2. Would like to see a faster and quicker alignment tool added to the control bar.

    Would like to see a faster and quicker alignment tool added to the control bar.

    Sometimes it's a bit troublesome to switch between alignment panels, so I would like to add a more direct alignment panel to the control bar.
    Can quickly align to bleed, margins, centre of plate, horizontal centre, vertical centre.
    There is also a function to align to a reference line (the reference line and the object are aligned to each other).

    It's kind of like the table control

  3. Add option to open current working folder when using "relink" option

    Hello,

    can we please have an option to open/search in current working folder (where the .indd is saved) when using relink function, rather than opening previously used links folder.

    make it a toggle option for users that prefer its current state

  4. Dark Theme: more contrast for sliders

    For the darkest InDesign theme (which I love and use all the time) increase the contrast between the slider and the slider tray. I always have a hard time finding the slider. This is not so much a problem on the monitor in my office, but traveling with a laptop in different lighting conditions it's sometimes impossible to find the slider.

  5. Article panel should help in showing items as ‘marked’

    Like there is an option for xml structure to show colors of marked frames there should be a similar option for frames and stories that are already present in the article panel.
    If MadeToTag can do it, Adobe should be able too.

  6. Unified Windows 11 User Interface

    I think it is of paramount importance that InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop should better integrate with Windows 11's Dark/Light mode. Why is still that the menus and menu options are still white even with the application set to the darkest mode? It is a horrible design inconsistency.

  7. Keep workspace window details expanded/open when switching to another program

    When I open the details for a specific workspace window, and whilst doing this, I switch to any other program on my computer (specifically on another screen), that window closes until I toggle back into InDesign.

    There are many times where I need to reference that information, whilst accessing another program, and this proves obstructive.

    For example: I expand links window to see a link's path which, for one reason or another, I need to find manually on my computer... those details will immediately disappear when I switch to my finder to search my computer...

  8. Group/Organize Parent Pages

    It would be very helpful for larger documents if I had the ability to group/organize the parent pages in their panel. I am currently working on an urban planning document where each section of the master plan (parks, housing, wastewater, etc...) has a different colored footer and chapter page, so I have 8 different footer parent pages and 8 different chapter pages, on top of the 10 or so general layout parent pages I create for our urban planners to use as templates. Consequently, navigating the parents panel requires a LOT of scrolling. If I could just group all my…

  9. UX improvement: When changing color on selected Text Fields, Text Color should be changed over textfields background color

    It happens so often that I select a textfield, quickly pick a color from the color swatches and the entire text field gets a background color - although I obviously wanted to change the text color.
    I have to manually go in and switch from text field background color to font color. I think this could be avoided.

  10. Preferences Search

    It would be very handy if we could search the InDesign preferences. Sometimes it's not easy to remember which section a particular preference setting is under, so it would be great to be able to do a search for, say 'Default View', which is under 'Display Performance'.

    Surely this wouldn't be too difficult a feature to bring into InDesign (and other Adobe apps)?

  11. Regarding the behavior of Adobe app UI in a multiple-screen case

    The scenario: Company given laptop usage with Adobe apps. Using multiple monitors at workplace. Also the same while working from home.

    Problem: The UI (floating windows, toolbox, etc.,) keep spreading out in different monitors or screens, which is annoying to to settle every time as the preferred monitor keeps changing. Please see attached image (UI spread cross monitors.jpg)

    Proposed solution: I understand that it might be difficult for app to trace the monitor I am using. At least there should be a possibility to 're-arrange all UI in one monitor' when I use 'Workplace' menu and choose my favorite workplace…

  17. Why do you have the Dictionary type in this location:

    We refer to the Dictionary type, once in a blue moon, if ever. It doesn't need to be so easily accessible.
    One thing that would be useful to occupy this space: the Paragraph Styles drop down menu. We refer to this one numerous times in one day.

  18. Functionality for Properties Panel - similar to Illustrator Properties Panel

    I love the properties panel in InDesign. It's fantastic for beginners. I have them set up the interface to look a lot like PS and AI. I think it makes it easier to learn and feels more familiar if they have experience with the other apps. The properties panel in Illustrator has fantastic functionality. The panels are all there so you don't have to open the floating panels. The ... allows you to open the actual panel if you need more. I would like the InDesign Properties panel to work the same way. There are commands hidden in the paragraph…

  19. Home button should not disappear

    It's somewhat annoying for the home button to constantly disappear / reappear because I watch people (and myself) misclick on the File menu or maximize the program accidentally many times a day. Just leave it there all the time like in Photoshop (it's also incredibly annoying that this behavior is inconsistent across apps.)
