split column gutters too wide - need a "negative" width setting
The split columns feature is great, and I use it often. But when I have only two columns of generally narrow width, the resulting gutter gap is way too wide. I can adjust it down to zero, as I have done in the attached image, but it would be so helpful to be able to go into the negative numbers (or use some other method) to bring these columns much closer together.

Version number on splash screen?
Sometime I have more than one version of InDesign on my Windows PC, especially if the latest release is buggy. It would be very useful to have the program version number show up on the splash screen when you start the program.

Change color to the QR Codes when using Data Merge
InDesign is great for controlling your design, but when you're importing a QR code from a spreadsheet using Data Merge, it feels a bit limiting. It's like what Henry Ford said about having any color car, as long as it's black.

Spell Check to start from selected text or text box
The ability to Spell Check to start from selected text or text box would be a real time saver.
Maybe add an on/off toggle to see spelling errors when needed.
I'm a horrible speller and sometimes just want to check what I just wrote not the entire document. I end up copying and pasting into Google which these days really confuses the (Artificial Intelligence).
Please consider this for Illustrator too.
Thank you.

More detailed document presets
If I'm regularly creating designs for which I'll need a variety of page layouts — say for example, a Facebook image, an Instagram image, a YouTube thumbnail, and a print flyer — I'd like to create a document preset that includes all of these.
Currently, you can only have one page size in a document preset, but I'd like to be able to designate something like "page 1 is letter size, page 2 is 1920x1080," etc.

InDesign Page panel
While duplicating the spread in the page panel of the Indesign, it just duplicates the page below the original page, it is good, but it should not fluctuate the panel screen.

Ability to change text from a dialog box like Corel Draw
I use Corel Draw from time to time and when I need to edit a string of text it lets me edit it from a dialog box instead of only on the page so I do not have to zoom up on any text strings to edit them. Can this be done for InDesign and Illustrator as well.

automatically use comment highlight
I'm always getting comments without highlights because I forget to select the highlight before I write the comment... it would be great to default to highlight color x every time

ability to import .avif file.
InDesign should be able to import .avif files. It doesn't need more explanation than that, except to say, If importing graphics and images is one of the core purposes of the program, it's surprising to find a format that can't be imported. Please keep InDesign updated and capable of working with all formats.

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…

Clearer comment navigation in share for review
click on a comment and have the comments panel scroll to the comment clicked, make the active comment highlight more visible and don't unmap comments when the text is deleted but delete the comments with the text.

Comments in Logical Order Please
The comments in Share for Review currently start on the right hand page of a spread work down and then skip to the top of the left-hand spread. This is confusing.

Store Export settings along with PDF and update PDF with the same settings
I find it hard to impossible to tell the export settings of a PDF file just from the file. Am I missing where to look? I would like to have
- Write settings as human readable text into the metadata of PDF Files, when they are exported
- Export settings as Export preset, stored along with PDF (as metadata within the file)
- Import the Export Presets by pointing at an existing PDF File (with this metadata available)
- Update any PDF File (given the export settings-metadata are available) with the same settings by pointing to the the File that is to be updated

Update only some pages of an earlier exported PDF
When Exporting a big document, sometimes after a change it would be nice to update only the changed page in the exported file.
- it would save time as the export would complete faster
- no need to have all the linked files of the whole document locally just to update one page
- it would save me exporting one one some pages and then opening the old PDF file in Acrobat and replacing the updated page manually.1 vote -
Window size-changing
I find that Photoshop, Acrobat, Bridge and Dreamweaver all follow Apple’s standard of double-clicking at the top of a window to make it expand to full screen or return to the previous size. InDesign (v.19.0.1) apparently does not (I use only these five Adobe Cloud apps). InDesign windows will double-click expand to full screen but won’t returning to their previous size. The alternative, dragging the right-hand edge, is very tedious.
