Footnote Improvement: Footnotes do not always get consecutive numbers. Footnotes within quoted material retain their original numbers.
This post is similar to "Custom numbered footnotes." Footnote Improvement: Footnotes do not always get consecutive numbers. Footnotes within quoted material retain their original numbers. To allow this, all Adobe needs to do is to create a second kind of footnote, the non-sequential footnote. The existing footnote style has a counter that increments by 1 every time the user inserts a footnote. Create a non-sequential footnote style that requires the user to enter the desired footnote number, and do not let that footnote increment the counter in the existing, sequential footnote style. Then the user can select either footnote style,…

Collaborative Work + Multiple Users Opening the Same File Simultaneously
We need a collaborative environment inside InDesign. We use InD for Proposals and document repositories. We have manually created a library of graphics and text that we use as standard content across multiple documents. We have a team that is constantly asking for access to the file. The lack of version history reverting and tracking makes this a nightmare on top of the fact that only one person can have the file open at a time. Then, you open it, and on PC it says its a read-only file so you have to save-as a new file name. Document integrity…

Toggle "Preview" ON by default
I'd like to see the effect of what I'm doing e.g. in the Paragraph panel by default. Can't find this in the application or on Google. This could easily be an option in the Preferences.

Links Panel: Show Exact Matches only
When re-linking files, add an option to show "Exact matches only". Adobe Premiere has this. So when you're looking for the file you're re-linking, all files are greyed out except for the one that matches your file name.
Find the Premiere equivalent in German attached!

Align Stroke to Outside option by default
For me the default Stroke Alignment setting should be Outside. I am always using boxes and frequently need to change the stroke widths. Since the default setting is Center alignment, this resizes the box, which I can't imagine anyone ever wanting. There doesn't seem to be any way to change the default stroke alignment to Outside, so I am constantly having to change this in the Stroke window. Which means we must have the Stroke window open simply because we cannot set the Outside as default. InDesign 19.2, Mac Ventura.

Hide all text and picture box borders when hiding Guides.
I wish InDesign would hide all faint text and box borders when hiding the document Guides. I am forced to go to Overprint Preview to hide those, which slows down the design process, because Overprint Preview mode is very slow and not at all smooth to scroll through multiple book pages to preview designs without the distractions of seeing any faint text boxes. I don't see this ability in any of the Settings menus. Indesign 19.2, Mac Ventura 13.6.4

artificial intelligence for text
Wouldn't it be a nice idea to have InDesign apply some artificial intelligence for looking at the text? Like what ChatGPT can do, but then integrated into InDesign. Checking the complexity, readability, Colorcontrast, tone-of-voice etc of your text. Would love to see that. Or suggestions on how to solve readability-issues for accessible PDF! Yeah!

intelligent swatches for type
When changing selection from object to text frame swatches should change to the text itself intead of the text box.
I always accidentially fill the text box with colour first instead of the text. I think, users want to change the text colour a lot more often than the colour of the text box.1 vote -

Line Spacing in Story Editor
Seems like it would make more sense if you could edit the line spacing for the story editor as you would in any text box, rather than being locked into just a few options. For instance, someone might find it easier to read at 1.15 spacing, or want to customize for another reason.

Fully black theme
As a low vision user, I'd appreciate if there was a fully black inDesign theme. I use the darkest, but it'd be nice if there was a total black background option.

I need the text in my interactive text buttons to be centered. Right now I can only align the text to the left.

Add Suffix Customization
I regularly use InDesign to build layouts destined to be JPG or PNG, so this new feature is very much appreciated, BUT when using the + Page Size suffix, the suffix includes spaces [eg."1260 x 350"] rather than the more web-friendly underscore or even better no spaces at all please. [eg."1260x350"]
I've been using the [absolutely wonderful] Batch Rename feature of Bridge to fix this after the fact, but wondering if it would be possible to be able to choose/customize the suffix content more.

Set an increment for auto-sized text boxes
When making a text box auto-sized, it would be good to set how much it expands by, be it 0.5mm, 1mm etc. I use it for laying out org charts, and to set the spacing between each box it helps when they are sized to be even 1mm sizes and sit at y value of an even number. If the box ends up auto-sized to 23.34mm then starting the next box at a y value of 25mm means a 1.66mm space between the two boxes instead of a nice even 2mm or something. If I could set it so that…

InDesign for Apple Vision Pro
Hello,
I am an Artistic Designer that uses InDesign for about 30 hours a week. I essentially live within InDesign for work. I would very much like if you would make a full fledged InDesign available within Apple's Vision Pro headset. I'm not even asking for a Spatial redesign, though it would be amazing eventually. Just support for downloading and installing the full version of InDesign without an unnecessary additional subscription or mobile friendly version. Please, this would make a huge difference to a lot of people.
