  2. Share for Review feature notifications settings should be accessible in InDesign, not only Adobe Cloud

    The share review feature could use a lot of work. First off, the notification settings should be in InDesign, not Adobe cloud. People don't know to go to Adobe Cloud to adjust notifications, nor did you tell anyone. Also, review comments in InDesign are still a bit glitchy, sometimes the pin or highlighted content does not appear within the editor when viewing review comments. Thanks you!

  3. More relevant Share for Review page title

    I've recently started using the Share for Review feature which is great, however when sharing the link on Skype (as well as other messaging platforms I'd assume), it shows the link title as “Your Work | Adobe Creative Cloud” which isn’t very accurate or helpful to whoever I’m sharing the review page with.

    It would be ideal if the HTML title of the review page could contain the title I input when I set up the review page, so that the link preview is much more relevant for someone you might be sharing it with.

  5. Enable importing of comments from PDF Review in Document Cloud

    Importing of comments from a review being shared via Document Cloud makes perfect sense, this would make a seamless process. The new share for review feature looks great but is too buggy to use at the moment with clients (I have tried)

  6. InDesign review feature request - accept edits

    As I am playing with the new review feature within InDesign, I noticed that it is not a robust as the PDF comments feature. There is the "resolve" button, but no "accept" button. I would like to request that there is an "accept" button so I don't have to make any type edits and adding in the risk of error.

  9. Link comments to text as well as to physical location in graphics frame

    This could be viewed as a bug report, from the user's perspective. And I am a user and not a coder or designer for ID (though I am a UX dweeb.) However, from a coder/designer standpoint, this is a feature request, thus posting here rather than as a bug.

    The feature is to link comments not to an x,y location on a spread, but to (1) an x,y location within a graphics frame, or (2) for a text frame, to specific text in that frame. Linking to text can be by highlighting the text and then attaching a comment to…

  10. A folder system in Publish Online

    Increasingly online publishing needs a home. Adobe offers this, although I came to this quite late. It is a mess when you have dozens of docs.

  11. Would like to be able to share a pdf (for proofing/approval) straight out of InDesign. Exceeding valuable as it skips steps.

    In the busy print workflow environment it would be nice to skip steps when providing clients with proofs for review/approval. Creating and sending a pdf proof to clients straight out of InDesign would be just the thing. Currently, as you know, you export the InDesign document as a pdf, open it up in Acrobat and share the file for review. While the Acrobat function is fine (although we've noticed lag time in clients receiving the proof) in the face-pace environment of a printshop, where many of these proofs are processed, it would be a time saver.

  12. Please create the SHARE FOR REVIEW link updateable as a standalone and not linked to just one indesign file.

    Here is what’s happening in my workflow.

    I create an indesign file (file_260729.ind) and share a link to clients for checking.

    Once the client adds their comments, i revise the indesign file and save it as (file_260730.ind) now I NEED to create a new share for review link for clients which makes it confusing for clients to follow especially if you're dealing with a number of clients, each commenting at their own pace.

    I have tried creating just one indesign MASTER file for client to check and just create an indesign copy for myself as archive BUT once i try…

  13. Ignore hidden pages when creating Share for Review link

    I occasionally keep different versions of a given page hidden in my document in case I need them later. However, when creating a Share for Review link, I have to make sure I delete the hidden pages each time otherwise they will export in the Share for Review preview and confuse my reviewer.

    Can you please add functionality into Share for Review so it will not export any pages that are hidden when creating a share link?

  15. Share for Review Custom Settings

    I haven't used this feature long, but it seems to be lacking features that designers use throughout the review process.

    1. There's no option to use custom PDF settings.
      When my clients are reviewing PDFs, they are expecting to see something that is print or screen ready. They expect the images to look sharp and the colors to be correct. I've developed a number of custom PDF export settings. Everything from including crop marks, how many and which pages to export, export pages as spreads or single pages, include slug to show notes I may have made, customize the amount of…

  16. Invite without sending a notification

    It'd be great to have the ability to invite WITHOUT sending an invitation email. As an enterprise user who has to reach out to many internal departments – we do want multiple eyes on the document, however only at certain times in the process. It would be nice to be able to batch add the permissions to view the document but then not send invites so we can then individually assign tasks for collaboration through the comment system during the design and feedback process.

    If you look at how Google achieves this through sharing permissions it would be similar a…

  17. Share for Review with ChatGPT

    Can you allow Share for Review to connect to ChatGPT. I want to share it with ChatGPT and it will proofread it and populate a bunch of edits that I can go through.

    Automated grammar/spellcheck with contextual awareness
    • Visual layout critique suggestions
    • “Tone” analysis for editorial documents
    • Accessibility flagging (e.g., contrast, font sizes)
    • Multilingual proofreading (Hebrew, English, etc.)
    • Brand consistency checks (“Did I use the correct logo spacing or style guide font?”)

  18. Interactivity, LIVE while using InDesign - Object States and Buttons that work at ANY time - ala AE 'Essential Graphics'

    Interactivity, LIVE while using InDesign - Object States and Buttons that work at ANY time - ala AE 'Essential Graphics'.
    There is the potential for InDesign to be a powerful QC authoring tool in our industry. We apply technical charts over the images which designers have created, like pitch/checker-decks. We need many different aspect ratios but repetition of the overlays and much of the info. We previously had over 90 layers the user would need to make visible or invisible - this is tedious and antithesis of good UX.
    Essential Graphics in AfterEffects is somewhat close to the idea we…

  19. Share for review for organisation

    Compared to Adobe Illustrator, InDesign does not have the option for internal approval within the organization ("Everyone at your organization can comment").

  20. Add "insert text at cursor" to Review tools

    Share for Review is great - however why was the "insert text" tool left out of the review tools? I do reviews every day and the 3 most important tools are "delete text", "replace text" and "insert text at cursor" - to know exactly where added text should go. It's part of the PDF commenting tools since forever - why was it left out of this Review function? Please add it, we can't offer this solution to our stakeholders without it.
