Own individual font/type/characters categories
I think everybody has a large font libary. It would be great if we could make own individual tags or categories (groups) to organise the font library.
For Example:
"Project xyz" (5 types/fonts)
"Fresh" (..10 types..)
and so on - so creating own groups for type3 votes -
share for review
It would be really helpful to be able to switch between multiple "share for review" links that are created for one document (ie: client vs. internal) - the same way we can in xd (xd screenshot attached).

Differentiate Native Styles vs Styles that came in with copy/pasted text
I would like for there to be some type of differentiation between Styles in documents when copy/pasting or bringing in new styles. Old styles get mixed up with new ones, some have the same names (body copy for example) so it's hard to tell which ones are from pasted copy and which are the ones I'm currently using in my document.
Open to any format as long as the Styles from the original document are all in one grouping and any styles from Copy/Pasted text are in another distinct grouping. This could be done by folders, or color-coding, splitting the…

Allow special characters to be added in front of note number when importing footnotes (e.g., tabs).
The "prefix" option for "document footnote options" should allow that, but only permits the few options in the pulldown menu. We should be able to insert any character before or after the footnote text.

Activate HTTPS and Youtube links
I know, there are many complains about no possibility to use https links for media files, but would be great to add not only them, but Youtube links also.
I have downloaded 15.1.2. version, and the problem still not resolved. This is very sad, that so cool option as an interactive pdf-file loses sense.3 votes -
Interactive text field options that do not exist in InDesign, but do in Acrobat.
I make a ton of interactive PDFs in InDesign. Why can I not set things like character limits or centered text within InDesign so I can save the settings in the .indd file? Instead, I am forced to make these changes in Acrobat. This means that any changes to the .indd file require that I remake the PDF format changes in Acrobat. EVERY TIME!

Deprecated GPU renderer
I found out today that indesign uses the OpenGL engine on Mac Mojave, despite the fact that Apple no longer supports the technology. Why? Can you fix it to improve Indesign GPU performance, and use it for raster more faster previews, effects like shadows and exports?
Indesign 15.1.1 , running on Mojave 10.14.6

footnote/endnote styles
Ability to define footnote/endnote styles (as opposed to the formatting styles contained within the the footnote/endnote definition) and synchronize these across the book documents. Would save a lot of time in books with many documents.

Password Protection in the new Review panel
Include a password protection field in the new review tab. Allow it to be toggled on and off. When a review is sent, and a password is created, send the password in the same email as the review link.

Option to replace links with same name but different format
When relinking a file, ID is able to check and relink all other links in a folder. However, I regularly have to use the relink feature to replace .tif dummies with finalized .psd files. The problem is that relink includes the extension of files in the name, so a tickable option to tell ID to change extension according to the first file you click so it then relinks all files with same name but the desired extension instead would save a lot of time.
(Unrelated, but having a corner to drag the typing field when posting ideas would be nice.…

Add HiDPI scaling for InDesign Mac OS
Please add scaling for UI and Tools for Mac version. I'm using an external 4K display so OS X system display scaling doesn't work as it does for Retina displays.. UI scaling in Illustrator works perfectly for me on my Mac, having this in InDesign would really be appreciated.

Make Indesign UI bigger
People have been complaining for years about Indesign's hard to see UI and the inability to make adequate changes. Why is it 2020, and this issue is still unresolved? I shouldn't have to change my Windows UI to make it better, which by the way it doesn't. Attached pic of my display at the recommend UI setting of 250% on a 15 inch screen.

Add the ability to remove or change the position of the 'home' button in the top left
It would be helpful to be able to move this button as it's so close to 'file' - accidental clicks of it can be irritating. I realize you can use Alt > F to open File, but often a click is easier.

Add text wrapping feature to combo box for interactive pdf drop down boxes with statements/questions.
I am trying to create an interactive pdf interview guide for my company. We would like to have the possible questions they can ask in a drop down format to help ensure the same question isn't asked by multiple people. I need to be able to add more characters to the combo box, then I also need them to automatically text wrap so that the text isn't displayed as a tiny line of text that isn't readable. I think Excel allows you to create drop downs with sentences that will wrap text.

Styles order when importing or book synking
It would be a good thing to keep styles order from source file.
If i have the following list of styles
- Style 1
- Style 2
- Style 3and i create a "Style 2X", i can place ir right above "Style 2". But when it is imported from another file or inked on a book, new style goes to the end of the styles list.
We should have an option like "keep list order" when link or import.
Is it possible to do that?
Thanks!

Share for review—interactive documents
Loving the new Share for Review feature, but how about the ability to markup documents with interactivity. Currently, all the buttons, rollovers, etc. disappear when using this feature—which implies it's just a baked-in version of adobe DC's commenting feature for static PDF documents.

preflight errors alert in export
When exporting to pdf, if there are missing fonts, links and/or overset text (probably some other options), we will have a prompt saying that we have those kind of errors and InDesign will allow us to fix the errors before creating the pdf.
In the other hand, if we have missing glyphs for example, InDesign will create the pdf without any warnings.
You can see the errors in the preflight panel but I think it can be easily overseen and this extra security step would help to fix these errors if needed.
I think Indesign should show this prompt every…
