  1. Add "Save Settings" in Preferences

    If I want to adjust the settings in ๐๐ซ๐ž๐Ÿ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ฌ โ€“ or anything else โ€“ permanently, I need to close all my files. This system is extremely frustrating to me. It would be a lot more convenient for there to be an option at the bottom of each of the ๐๐ซ๐ž๐Ÿ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ฌ that would look like this:

    โ— ๐’๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐’๐ž๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ
    ๐Ÿ—น Only for this document | โ˜ New documents based on this template

    By default, the box ๐Ž๐ง๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐œ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ would be checked. Once you click ๐Ÿ—น ๐๐ž๐ฐ ๐๐จ๐œ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐›๐š๐ฌ๐ž๐ ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ž, it will be like that for future documents!โ€ฆ

    Indesign cc2020 Page Curl transition is not available because of the removal of Flash. I need the option to create and show off ebooks for our online customers' convenient. But Indesign cc2020 does not have this page transition option. Can we have the Page curl option in the next updates for Adobe Indesign cc2020? Thank you.

  4. Text Wrap path Selection

    If we lock the Text Layer if itโ€™s above the Objectsโ€™ Layer that has graphic elements on it, and we want to โ€œWrapโ€ an object from that layer, we can see the Wrap Path which is Editable by Pen Tool & Direct Selection Tool,
    When Wrap Path is active and then we want to select just an anchor point by making a marquee selection from outside (like Illustrator) to select a single anchor point the path disappears and we see disappeared path even mouse click button is pressed, every time we will have to click on the anchor point toโ€ฆ

  5. Make Publish Online Autoplay and Loop

    I am preparing a presentation for a museum. I already have it set up in InDesign, and have shared it to stakeholders via Publish Online. However, it needs to run on a loop and flip slides automatically โ€“ because of COVID, viewers can't touch the screen. Adding a feature to time each slides's appearance and set to infinite looping would solve this, and avoid me having to recreate it as a video โ€“ similar to exporting an interactive PDF. Thanks!

  6. Fit page to (Selected) Artwork (like Illustrator)

    Fit Page to (Selected) Artwork (Like Illustrator)
    This feature is required for InDesign. In the Pages panel, there is an icon to customize the page and on that menu, this could be the option or its icon should be added so the user could use it quickly which would be very useful.
    This Feature could be in the Layout Menu and it should be in the Properties Panel too.

    Make it possible to tell in a globel setting when there has been used a specific font and that font is changed to another font so you don`t need to change font on every document you open that have used that font

  8. Can we have columns option in Paragraph styles

    can we have columns option in paragraph style, as i will save lots of text boxes to be created in a file, and user can type in only 1 Text box per page, rather then making text boxes for every single line. like i have 50,000 name labels to print, and i want each name to start from right and the next name should come exactly parallel on the left side in another column. and then it should go again to another column on the right side. I saw a post earlier regarding this ... but that user only hadโ€ฆ

  10. Find all instances of a Paragraph Style

    Find all instances of a Paragraph Style in a document via the Paragraph Styles panel. Like you can see with Links, be able to view the pages that the styles exist on and jump to these pages by clicking on the page number in the panel or be able to navigate through them with up and down arrows

  11. Select All by paragraph style

    I'd love to be able to select all text in the document by paragraph style. So, select all text with "Heading 1" paragraph style. And then I could copy and paste it into a different document. It would help for revising documents, so I can see the topics all together and reorder the outline of names.

  12. We need "smart" title case in the change case menu

    We need smart title case, with prepositions and conjunctions not capitalized. It's ridiculous that a script or third-party plug-in is required. This is a publishing program! InDesign can create a table of contentsโ€”it should be able to do it correctly.

  13. Please add an interactive box for images + option to set font color for interactive text boxes

    I recently started to make interactive PDF forms in InDesign (which is a great tool!), but I was surprised to find out that:

    1. you cannot add an interactive box for images
    2. you cannot set color to the assigned font in interactive text boxes...

    Seems like some basic functions like this are still missing in InDesign, so it would be greatly appreciated if you could add it to your to-do list.

    Thanks a lot in advance!

  14. specify which document contains errors

    if you have to open more then one indd file, and some of this files have missing or modify links you get just this simple message. But you dont know which document contains missing links. and if i will open 10 files at once, a have go thru all this files to find out which file have missing links. I know i can use book and run preflight, but that is to much of work :)

    Can you just add name of the file in to this message box? Like picture 03?

  15. Add Delete File option

    We should be able to delete InDesign files. Not just set them to zero in a masking action, as is in the community forum. Then we lose access to files. Is this the only program, ever, in which the user cannot delete a file? Why? I am getting so many files left over from drafts, that it hinders my work. It will go on an on. At some point I will have to make a written log of each file I save, so I can mark them as which ones had a flaw, or wasn't needed for which reason, sinceโ€ฆ

  16. Scroll document whilst Pop up window is visable (e.g Place)

    When any pop up windows like Save/ Place/ Export is open it is useful to be able to scroll the document in background.

    For example: In InDesign CS6 and you can scroll the document behind the Place pop-up window. In Adobe CC this function no longer works โ€“ which slows the design and layout process down.

    This feature was especially useful when producing books with many images in.

  17. Bring back Click-and-Drag character and paragraph interface

    The scale scrubbers on the control panel/menus that allowed us to click and drag to adjust character size, tracking, line spacing, etc. were invaluable. It allowed us to see the changes as we were making them. Please bring them back! It takes me about eight times as long to lay out text now.

  18. Copy and Paste Effects

    It'd be great to be able to copy and paste effects from objects, especially between multiple documents. This would be similar to Photoshop's ability to copy layer effects.

  19. Default text box to "Formatting Affects Text" rather than "Formatting Affects Container".

    If a Text box uses all the same color of text within, upon direct selecting the box it should default to an active "Formatting Affects Text" rather than "Formatting Affects Container". Or give me the option to make this the default in Preferences. Pressing (J) before each and every swatch click to trigger this formatting is tedious and unnecessary.
