   Being able to group and collapse sections/chapters/draft/optional layouts would be a huge help.

2. Please Add "Screen" Intent Option for Creating New Documents

   Please add a new Intent option called "Screen" as a choice when creating a new INDD file. The current choices of Print, Web, and Mobile don't cover what I need for creating PPT backgrounds for slide shows, stills and lower thirds for our video team. Page sizes could be at least: 1366 x 768, 720p, 1080p, and possibly 3840 x 2160 for 4K. This would save time from rifling through the other options for the right dimensions, creating a custom size, changing measurements, and changing color profile.

3. Larger thumbnails in the Page Pallet

   I would like to see the thumbnails in the InDesign Page Pallet larger so that components of the page are easily recognizable. Currently the Jumbo thumbnail size is not sufficient. Perhaps a slider feature similar to 'View Options' in Apple Finder?

4. List out page numbers when deleting pages

   When deleting pages, a simple "You are deleting pages #X- #X" confirmation would be great, just to confirm the intended pages are selected for deletion. Currently, it just confirms you want to delete "the selected pages," which is vague.

5. Hidden pages alert

   PLEASE add an alert on a PDF export if pages are hidden. For many projects, we cannot risk have pages hidden in the final PDF (i.e., proposals).

6. Zoom when clicking on errors in the Preflight window

   One thing has been bothering me for a long time in Indesign. I am working on a document and activate my print control in the Preflight window, if I then find errors, e.g. under "Text", I simply click on the underlined number of the page on the right and am then taken to where the error is. Unfortunately, it is always set to my 1:1 zoom, so if I want to investigate the error more closely, I have to zoom in manually or with my zoom-shortcut. If I click on the page again at the next error, I end up on the page again with the whole page displayed. But I want to stay at the same zoom level! This works well with the spell checker, for example, if I check my text at 300% zoom, I can always use the Next button in the control window to move from word to word at that zoom level.
   So is there anything that can be done to the preflight control to keep the zoom level the same?
   Thank you very much!!

7. Move both documents pages when in Split vertical mode

   When comparing two documents in Split vertical window mode it would be handy for both documents to move to the next page at the same time rather than having to move one, then the other.

8. Add ability to make resusable/editable linked COMPONENTS (like in XD)

   InDesign has been dancing around the edges of this idea for years, with half-baked features like snippets, libraries, linked items in the content grabber....but it never has gotten it right. What we need is something exactly like the "components" feature in Adobe XD. We grab some objects, and then "Make Component" out of them. Then we can plop multiple instances of that component throughout the document. If we go back and edit the "Main Component" those changes are automatically applied to all placed instances of it.

   Yes, I know you can place one indesign doc into another, which is the workaround I've been doing for years. But that is very slow and clunky in practice. One reason is we're handcuffed to the "page" and "page size" mentality. Many components—being just collections of shapes/objects—do not need a set "page size" and it's annoying to have to keep adjusting a page to fit the objects as they evolve. Another reason is file management. If we put all our "components" into separate indesign files, it becomes a pain to share styles/swatches between them. If we group them all in one indesign file, we're then limited to referring to them only by page number (since we STILL can't name our pages). This gets cumbersome as we add/move/removee pages and place the items "by page" into our main indesign document.

   Snippets, content grabber, libraries, do not create "linked instances of editable main components" in the same useful way that XD does.

9. native comments

   Give us us native comments within inDesign, or at least allow the person who shared a document for review to add comments in/from the file itself. I currently have to share for review just to add comments to my own file, which adds another stage to our process.

10. Improve IDML accuracy

    Currently, IDML export is not accurate: opening the IDML file in a previous version – even the most recent – results in errors in paragraph numbering and cross-references. Exporting long document results in such a long list of errors which would be so time-consuming to fix that makes it unfeasible.

    Adobe must immediately prioritize the RENDER OF FILE THUMBNAIL PREVIEW of .indd file on Mac Desktop/finder

    How can a an application of visual asset creation not render a visual preview thumbnail on Mac OS Finder? This is patently absurd and frustrating beyond comprehension! Please prioritize the RENDERING OF A THUMBNAIL PREVIEW for all INDD Files on Mac OS!!

12. Include page count in XMP

    The XMP metadata included in an InDesign file does not include the page count. This makes it difficult for thrid party solutions such as digital asset management systems not running InDesign or InDesign Server to display the page count to their users for InDesign files.

    There is a standardized XMP element called xmpTPg:NPages which is supposed to contain the page count for multi-page documetns. https://developer.adobe.com/xmp/docs/XMPNamespaces/xmpTPg/ This should be included in the XMP by InDesign.

13. Add more (EU) Blank Document Presets like A6, Square

    I don't understand why we're still limited to A4, A5 and A3, but other common sizes like A6 and A0 are missing. Same goes for social media sizes. Making our own presets would be a solution if we were able to arrange the preset order. Please add more options and/or make it easier for us to arrange our new document screen.

14. The hope of developing a new vertical effect of CJk text

    （If you only want to read the core content, please go directly to the end of this article）

    （This document is designated to be delivered to Adobe Japan）

    ————————

    Dear Adobe Japan:

    Thank for your attention and helping. On behalf of my region, I would like to make a request boldly to your company about the new effect of vertical typesetting.

    The existing versions of indesign equipped with CJK typesetter and applicable to East Asia have only one text arrangement direction for vertical text arrangement - the first column inherited is on the right, from right to left from ancient China.

    CJK in this article is a combination of Chinese, Japanese and Korean. There is one thing in common: all are square characters.

    With the development of the times, in the birthplace of vertical arrangement, it is no longer emphasized to inherit this text arrangement. Now in China, this arrangement is no longer taught.

    However, because of the square attribute of each Chinese character, even if it is no longer taught in the classroom, the text will still be vertically typeset when typesetting. But, now in China, reverse vertical typesetting of words from left to right also exists, such as the newspapers in China.

    （As shown in the first figure attached,
    Left: People's Daily, Oct 27th 2022, page 1. Each line of the title has only one sentence, which may be arranged vertically at this time; And in the upper left corner, it may be vertical from the left.
    Right: People's Daily, July 8th 2021, page 2. At this time, the subtitle has two sentences, which are arranged in two lines, also in the form of vertical arrangement from the left.）

    （As shown in the second figure attached,
    There are these search results using "如何在indesign里将文字左起竖排" in Google. There is also a related record in the Wikipedia Chinese Encyclopedia [https://zh.m.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/%E7%B8%B1%E6%9B%B8%E8%88%87%E6%A9%AB%E6%9B%B8]
    — — — — — —
    The above results are only about InDesign — if "InDesign" is replaced by "Photoshop", the keyword will become “如何在Photoshop里将文字左起竖排” or “如何在Photoshop里将文字从左往右竖排”, etc., there will be more relevant search results. Illustrator and Premiere also have same demands.）

    I would like to ask why there is such a direct arrangement in China. I think, first, at present, China is teaching from the left to the horizontal, and has not taught the writing order from the right; Second, for the reasons of layout balance and text directionality, in China, it is believed that straight text near the left side of the page should be read from left to right, which can balance the picture, and this direction can be read in the same direction (note: in China, there is almost no printed matter read from right to left). Therefore, there is a need to start from the left in vertical.

    —————— Important content (my request) ——————

    However, adobe series software, including indesign, has been developed the order from right to left, but only only has the vertical writing order. Adobe's East Asian language and text functions are developed based on Japanese. In other words, your, Japan company is the most important developer of East Asian language and character functions.

    Therefore, I hereby propose a wish to your company: can you add the left to right vertical text layout function of CJK text in adobe series products? Plug ins with this function can be developed and attached to the installation program in the form of exe, so that users can install them in the plug-in folder, then sell it on the online shopping platform similar to Amazon in China.

    I hope it can be developed, after all, the market demand is not small.

    ————————————————————

    On behalf of my region, I would like to express my most loyal thanks to your company!

    Yours sincerely.

15. Find/Change filter by Alternate Layout

    I frequently create alternative layouts for product docs aimed at UK and US markets.

    Where codes and serials need changing across an entire range, it would be great to find/replace by Layout, not the entire document.

16. Duplicate Spread n times

    In some occasions, I use InDesign to collect Photoshop or Illustrator artwork.
    In that case, I create a page with a Rectangle Frame, Auto-Fit checked.
    When I need e.g. 20 of these, I have to duplicate many times 1-2-4-8-16 etc.
    Why not add a number to the duplicate function?

18. Consider built-in compression of .indd files

    Since .indd files could be compressed (e.g. zip) with saving between 50% to 70% of disc space: Please consider to implement a compression algorithm natively into InDesign.

19. Allow Pages to be named and exported with names - like photoshop artboards

    Where the pages are numbered in the pages panel, please could you allow them to be named and exported with those names - in the same way the Photoshop allows with artboards?

    This would save so much time for working on projects that have 100s of pages that all need specific names. I would need this in InDesign as the ability to relink images is a super useful feature for my projects.

    Thanks!
