Improve links palette to include AI file color information
The Indesign Links palette should show the Adobe Illustrator file document color mode so that I can easily verify that art is CMYK without having to open it in Illustrator. Raster images show RGB, CMYK or Grayscale, but AI files currently give no color information. I understand this might be challenging for EPS or PDF files, but AI files have a Document Color Mode that you must be able to parse from the file.

Turn off blue dots in menu
The blues dots adressing new functions in the menus are distracting. In the preferences menu there could be and option to turn them off.
It's rather annoying for a seasoned pro user to allways have to click the functions to turn the circle off.
However, some circles are permanent. We got blue light random places in the menu. It's bad UX with no possibilities to turn them off. Now the UI is getting cluttered in showing off whats new with dots that will not disappear.

Add the ability to color code window tabs and allow custom tab names that are not linked to the actual file name.
Description:
The current window tab design in InDesign can become cluttered, especially when working with multiple files that have long names. The tab size automatically adjusts to the length of the file name, which leads to a cluttered workspace, making it difficult to quickly locate and switch between files. I suggest two enhancements:The ability to color code window tabs, allowing users to visually differentiate between files at a glance.
The ability to edit the tab name independently of the file name, so users can give tabs more intuitive or customized names without altering the actual file name. This would…

Please provide the ability to save a user preset File view
Please provide the ability to save a user preset File view. I am constantly having to click on List view and setting it to sort A - Z this is becoming cumbersome when trying to quickly navigate my files saved to web in InDesign and other CC applications. I've provided two screen shots. The first one is in grid view which is what adobe always defaults to. The second screen shot is how the view I always use that would be so awesome if it would save which view I am using so I don't have to change it every…

Make it possible to simply drag an image from Apple Photos into InDesign
Right now there's many steps required to add an image from Apple Photos to InDesign. You have to download all your images to a folder. Then you have to open the file directory from within the app and search for the image. If you're working with hundreds of images this process is very time consuming and is a real bottleneck.
What if you could just simply drag and drop? Please make this process easier and more intuitive.

Urgent: Flatplan workflow feature request for InDesign / Bridge (critical for all magazine publishers)
Hi Adobe team,
We’re honestly desperate at this point.We’ve been trying for weeks to reach someone from Adobe who could even acknowledge this topic — through enterprise support, admin console, chat agents, even our reseller — and it’s absolutely impossible.
It’s insane that even as an enterprise customer, we can’t reach a real product contact to talk about something so fundamental.
We’re part of BurdaMedia International (Czech Republic), publishers of ELLE and ELLE Decoration.But this isn’t just our pain — it’s something every single magazine publisher still using InDesign is facing.
There’s simply no native way to plan…1 vote -
Switching language resets preferences and breaks app recognition in Creative Cloud
I’m writing as an enterprise customer managing multiple Adobe Creative Cloud licenses across a multilingual team. We frequently switch UI languages and reassign machines, so consistent environment management is essential to maintaining workflow stability.
When switching InDesign’s UI language through Creative Cloud (for example, from Czech to English), all user-specific settings — workspaces, keyboard shortcuts, export presets, print settings, and scripts — are effectively lost.
This happens because each language version maintains a separate preferences folder (csCZ, enUS, etc.) with no migration or shared profile mechanism. After changing the install language, Creative Cloud also misidentifies previously installed applications…1 vote -
Add context tool bar to normal workspace / change/fix position
At the moment, the context tool bar can only be fixed in its position WITHIN the document window. So it always overlaps the page I am currently working on. That annoys me.
In Photoshop, you can fix its position above the document window, within the normal toolbar.
I would love to see this position ability in Indesign, too. And to be able to save that as a workspace option.Another issue is that if I switch Indesign to another screen (I am working with two monitors) while working, the context toolbar stays in the screen I used when starting Indesign.…

How to Win Geometry Dash Lite
Winning in Geometry Dash Lite requires more than quick reflexes—it’s all about rhythm, timing, and persistence. Every level is designed to test your reaction speed and ability to stay calm under pressure. Here’s how you can master it.
Learn the rhythm: Each obstacle follows the beat of the background music. Listening closely helps you anticipate jumps and spikes instead of reacting too late.
Practice in training mode: Use practice mode to memorize tricky sections. Don’t rush—focus on getting the rhythm right before attempting the full level.
Tap lightly and consistently: Over-tapping can ruin your timing. Keep your taps short and…

CMD+CornerRotation unsed, idea: Rotate around anchorpoint
While rotating an object with the default tool (not the rotation tool), the CMD-key is unused.
shift+rotate = rotate in 45° steps
alt+rotate = rotate and make duplicate
shift+alt+rotate = rotate in 45° steps and make duplicatecmd+rotate => rotate around the anchored point
cmd+alt+...
cmd+shift+...
cmd+alt+shift+...You get the idea.

separations preview - keyboard shortcuts to toggle one channel on and off
At the moment, the separations preview has the ability to toggle ON an individual channel by using a keyboard shortcut e.g. viewing the Cyan channel only can be done by going cmd + opt + shift + 1. Similar shortcuts can be used for the M Y & K channels as well as 5 spot channels, and all 4 process channels at once. However, they only toggle the separation ON. What would be preferable would be the ability to toggle a channel OFF.
Here is a use-case: I'm a finished artist inspecting a magazine layout from my designer. They have…

InDesign Mac remember window size and position
InDesign should remember the window size and position for each file it has closed upon reopen, as well as new files, too.

Bookmarking files on home screen
I'm often working on 10+ projects and probably 20+ files in Indesign at a time. Whenever I restart the computer or switch between projects, it takes time to navigate to the folder where I've saved the project and look at various collateral involved with the project as well as open the Indesign file.
It would be great to have another section on the home screen under the Recent files to have Bookmark files. The logical place to put the bookmark function would be in the Files menu when you have the file open, but you can also put a shortcut…1 vote -

Please Add Option to Remove Individual Files from Recent List on Welcome Screen
Message:
Hi Adobe team,
In the latest versions of InDesign, it seems the ability to right-click and remove individual files from the “Recent” list on the Welcome screen has been removed or is no longer available. This feature was incredibly useful for keeping the workspace clean and organized — especially when dealing with outdated or duplicate files.
I would love to see this functionality restored or improved with a visible “Remove from Recent” option for each file, similar to what’s available in Illustrator and Photoshop.

Give a Direction: Forward/Backward option in the Find/Change panel for Color
The Text option for Find/Change has the option to cycle through the results in the opposite direction. This would be VERY helpful to have on the colour option as well, I have no idea why it would be available for text but not colour, it's the same function?

Add 'Apply to All' function when relinking multiple identical image files through the links panel.
Add 'Apply to All' function when relinking multiple identical image files through the links panel - ie when swapping a PNG with an EPS or completely new image with a different files name. When relinking multiple identical images through the links panel, user is required to relink every single image separately one after another. Adding and 'Apply to All' function would speed up this process when looking to update 50 images as once.

Make it possible to anchor a graphic to the beginning of a paragraph without five or six tries and two or three zooms
It'll go AFTER the first letter…it'll go some random place in the first FEW letters, but before the first one? Especially if the first one is a sans-serif letter "I"? HAHAHAHAHAH! No. Not without cajoling, retrying, zooming, threatening, and telling it what a good little cursor it is.
I realize this isn't a **** problem, but it's been literally decades of this feature being…what's the technical term…bad.
