Table
Hello, it would be nice to be able to energize a table that allows for example to change a price in a single operation when you have a brochure or catalog in several languages. A bit like Excell with his dynamic crossovers. Cordial greetings.

Preserve positioning data when pasting graphic from one frame to another
When I copy an image from one frame and paste it into another, I expect this action to preserve two sets of attributes: scaling factor and positioning data.
I get one out of two (scaling).
No offense, but QuarkXPress could do both back in 1990.
Why does this matter? Imagine a layout with a horizontal row of head shots, each in a separate frame of the same shape and size. Client says, "Oh, please move photo 3 to frame 10, and scoot everyone else up one frame."
I don't have to imagine this situation, as I'm currently working on a…

Share for Review with indb
It would be amazing to have the chance to share and review all the documents included in one book.
We usually design magazines, which are made of many InDesign documents gathered in an indb book. We have to export a pdf so the editor can review the whole magazine. This is ok but manage the comments directly from InDesign would be a huge time-saving feature.

Print Layout Stacking (as it is in CorelDRAW)
Imposition control from the Print dialog box (as it is in CorelDRAW) would be a massive time saver for those of us in print shops. I am an Adobe user in a Corel shop and I've been (slowly) working on converting them to Adobe, but this is one feature that keeps the owner going back to Corel for most everything he designs, simply because of the imposition features.
I'm sure everyone would be happy with this feature.

Kerning Tables
Can you please build in the ability to export a kerning table for a font that I have manually kerned so I can use it again and keep adding to it as new combinations come up. This is something that is really restrictive for the Typographers amongst us and one of the things that is still really missed from the Quark days. I appreciate your general optical setting but it's really only a start point for fine tuning.

Ability to change Default to None when deleting a Swatch
When deleting a swatch, it would be helpful if there was a way to change the default 'Replace with' Swatch of Black to be None/another color so one could option-click the trash icon instead of having to select None from the drop-down each time (or make None a merge-able 'swatch').
We get a lot of files where there are multiple swatches that aren't in use but don't get removed with 'delete all unused.' I don't think I've ever encountered a situation where I wanted to replace with Black anyway.
If there's a way to do that already, please let me…

master page & character style search function
Add On for Organized ID Files:
Search function for Master Pages and character/Paragraph... styles. In addition to the suggested folders, a search function would be great.Edit 1.1.2021:
For very large Indesign files and especially for accessibility productions, it would be an immense advantage and make work easier if you could find the sample pages as well as the format templates (paragraphs, characters, tables, etc.) more quickly using the search function.
A folder structure for the sample pages would also be an advantage. For the format templates, the function of After Effects would be great if you could simply…3 votes -

Chemin bibliothèque locale Indesign
Hello,
Would it be possible to have the address locally in the "library" panel, as in the link panel? Indeed, CC libraries are handy, but 1 plugin in particular does not support them (EasyCatalog), and it is not practical to find local libraries when you have several of them.
Thanks in advance.1 vote -

Creating text anchors for all section heading in a document
Add a hyperlink style of TEXT ANCHOR to the TOC Style interface.
The TOC feature allows the creation of TOC entries that recognize the text that was formatted to a specific paragraph style. If only the TOC Style interface allowed users to choose what type of hyperlink they want associated with those entries. Everything I've tried so far always defaults to the page number, which means clicking the TOC hyperlink still requires the reader to find the appropriate item on the page. Using Text Anchors for the TOC instead would land the reader directly where they need to be.

Can someone please explain what the "story list.xml" is about, which (from time to time) is created when exporting to InCopy?
I have not found any documentation on this.Some inexperienced users are very irritated about this!

Export Package needed this badly
When i package my files, i only get to package fonts that were installed in my com however, if i were to use any adobe font, zero trail in package document font folder. This will cost people time telling the printer or marketing side, hey its adobe font that's why its not in the package file. Or worst whoever take over the project on a new com, have to wait till they open up the file, and indesign or illustrator says hey your font missing. Blah blah blah.
Solution: What if you guys create a file that have adobe font…

File Lock auto-release
We have multiple editors working remotely, with a policy of locking a file while working on it. But we have a repeated problem of files being left locked at the end of the day, meaning others are unable to work on them. Please add a pop-up on closing a file which asks "do you wish to unlock?".
