MAKE PACKAGE FEATURE USE ORIGINAL LOCATION AS ITS ROOT.
I would like the PACKAGE feature to default to the ORIGINAL location of the file. Rather than having to hunt around when I chose PACKAGE. I have many projects to package, and often when i choose PACKAGE FILES it will default to some previously-referenced folder—often completely different folder/location. Its a nuisance. Causes issues.

Include within View > Extras an option to turn on a transparent and mirrored overlay of the other side of a given page in a book. Allow for customization of transparency and color. Provides a quick way to check the baseline grid is properly aligned and that there wont be conflict with elements on previous page.

Custom Font Categories
I have several types of fonts in my personal collection that would like to group into custom categories for easy access. For example, Retro, Holiday, Customer Name, etc. It would be nice to access them where indicated in the screenshot. " "Favorites" is fine, and "Font Filtering" works too, but would it be possible to have a handful of custom groupings available?

Copy/Paste text formatting
It would be nice to be able to copy and paste formatting from/to text like you can copy and paste settings from one photo to the next in Lightroom. This way you would not have to create styles for every formatting choice that repeats.

Embed file option while placing the image in the page
Many-a-times after placing a Image, we need to Embed that as we don't want that to stay connected to the source.
That's why what we want is that before placing a Image, there should be a Link/Embed Option as there is in Illustrator so that I do not have to manually go to Links Panel and Embed it from there for every single Image. It will faster the work process2 votes -

Set asset path base location in preferences
Allow the user to set the base relative path location in preferences instead of having them set to absolute all the time. This will allow complete folder structures within Create Cloud Folders to be shared to other user without all the assets link breaking all the time and will avoid the need to send packaged files all the time.

Please fix the tab export issue in EPUB format! We're paying for a program that promises print AND flowable epubs but getting only half.
I'm incredibly unhappy about paying so much money out of pocket for a program that does only half of what it promises. It promises print and ebook exports. Print works fine. Epub does not export tabs, indents, or line spacing. I've had your techs work on the program with a program file of mine after I showed them my work flow, and they took two weeks and couldn't do it. I did everything right, even according to them. Their solution was to have me get another program to do the job Adobe InDesign promises it will do but does not…

Can we get text to go along with the video tutorials?
Videos can be useful, but we can read text MUCH faster than listening to a video. And we can easily refer to text where we can't in a video.
Please just supply the same learning in text form as well.

Repeat Table header?Skip the first row of the first table instead of the whole header of the first page
Duplicate header, there is an error.
Can I skip the first line of the header instead of the whole header.
What's the point of skipping the whole header on the first page?
My header has two lines. I skip the first line on the first page, which is more useful. How to operate?
David Blatner used a method, helpless, no real perfect solution.
Adobe needs to improve.
Skip the first row of the first table instead of the whole header of the first page

Caption setting: Why paragraph style, not object style?
Caption setting: Why paragraph style, not object style?
Its "displacement" is not very easy to use, I generally still need object style to control the caption.
If you can use object styles directly, it's easy? Because object styles can call paragraph styles, there are more settings.
I hope Adobe will pay attention to this problem.

Allow login from multiple adobe accounts on the same machine at the same time.
My job pays for InDesign and I pay for Photoshop/Lightroom. The fact that I cannot just have both logins running at the same time is insane. I have started paying for InDesign personally because it was just easier.

PLEASE TURN OFF the 'Type 3 fonts no longer supported after 2023" message
PLEASE TURN OFF the 'Type 3 fonts no longer supported after 2023" message, it is very annoying for the many legacy documents I must work on. YES I know! That is two years away and there seems to be no way to make the blue bar go away.

table of content popup
the table of content popup UI needs updating. When working on long docs with many paragraph styles, and many levels of TOC. There's a lot of scrolling involved.
Let us resize the window so we can see more paragraph styles / TOC levels at once.
Or even just copy word's interface, although not great, but it a lot more useable.

Add grep Location option for "end of line"
Hi,
it's possible add the option for grep location, similar to the "end of paragraph" option, but for the "end of the line"? I think it's very helpful for advanced formatting long text.Thank you

Add page range option to find/change
find/change dialogue box > SEARCH field drop down menu
Add ability to select a page range.
This would be particularly useful when it comes to replacing swatches. Let's say you have a section of a book that is GREEN and another section that is BLUE. If you had a range option you could easily use find/change to swap the two colors but as of right now, this is not the case. You have to use a temporary GREY as a placeholder, find/change the BLUE to GREY, then the GREEN to BLUE, and finally the GREY to GREEN. It feels like…

Rule Above and Below visible both in panel
It is confusing that when Rule Below is active, still the inactive Rule Above is show in the Paragraph Style tab.
Why not show both at once?
