Copy Editor no longer (Beta): also adjust size of text
Why has Copy Editor (Beta) been (Beta) for over five years? I use it all the time. It is easier to read than Story Editor (more readable screens). I would argue to take it out of Beta after making one and only one change, resisting the temptation to ruin it by adding too much to it. The only thing I want to be able to do is make the text a bit bigger for my old eyes. I don't need to change the font, or do any formatting. Clean and simple!

Adobe, Don't Leave InCopy Behind: AI Development Must Prioritize Editorial Workflows, Not Just InDesign.
InCopy should not be left behind in Adobe's AI development roadmap.
It is difficult to understand why Adobe is prioritizing AI-based Text Generation tools in InDesign while InCopy, the application specifically designed for collaborative writing and text editing in professional editorial workflows, remains without these features.
InDesign is the layout tool. InCopy is the editorial writing tool. AI development should reflect this fundamental distinction.
Adobe should prioritize AI integration in InCopy, including text generation, editing, copyfitting, headline generation, and future AI-powered journalism tools.
Professional editorial teams need a clear commitment to InCopy's continued development and its role in Adobe's AI roadmap.

Cancel required color in Character Style Options > Character Color > Tint ...
Allow users to specify a color shade (and other options) without having to select a color. This would make the character style much more versatile; a single character style could be used for paragraph styles with any color, such as bullet points in different colors depending on the brand.

option to start a certain paragraph, for example chapter title, at a specific page
When creating a lay-out file with text for an illustrated book that covers all available pages: it would be nice to tell the title of chapter two, to start at page 13 for example and the title of chapter 3 to start at 21 and so on. In that way you can instantly see how much blank space can be filled with images and you won't have to deal with constantly reflowing of the entire text. Also that way it could possibly be easier to place images on the right pages without having to deal with anchored objects that sometimes are hard to handle.

Can't PNG File on Feature Requests
Speaking of oversights, this is a design program and the feature request forum doesn't allow users to post pngs? What?

"Clear All Alerts" in Background Tasks
The fact that you cannot clear background tasks in bulk by selecting multiple, or clear all is a waste of time and a huge oversight.

Changed .ai with different layers, option ‘apply to all’ in pop-up-window
When I import .ai files and work on them, add layers and afterwards have to update the files I get an error message. And have to hit return any times the file is imported in my ID file.
It would be helpful if I could check 'apply to all' and hit return only once.1 vote -
Option to hide/block blue notifications bar in computer labs
I teach InDesign at the college level in a lab with 24 Macs all running the latest version. These lab computers are managed by the college, yet all students each and every day are suggested to try out the beta build of InDesign with AI assistant. Since these are public, managed computers there is no way for them to try this version out. As an instructor I would love the option to hide/disable these notifications as they literally get in the way of instruction. Thanks for listening!

Combine minimized tablets in panelgrid
A number of palettes (like glyphs) ar easy to use as pop-up, do your thing, and close again. It would be nice to be able to minimize palettes like in my simplified mockup screen dump but then also being able to put them in the palletgrid so they become part of all tools..

Highlight Text Effect
Maybe this could be an extension of the paragraph shading options, but it'd be great to have a highlight text option that lets you adjust offsets like paragraph shading, except it goes to the end of each line and stops there vs shading the whole paragraph based on the longest line. Similar to the "text background" effect in Canva. That highlighted look is very popular now.
Right now I'm achieving this by either making thick underlines with negative offsets and having to add spaces at the beginning and end of each line, or I have to make separate text boxes per line with paragraph shading.

ajout de fonctionnalité
j'aimerai bien pouvoir copier les effets (FX) dans indesign, comme sur photoshop pour pouvoir appliquer un même effet à d'autres blocs texte ou image. l'utilisation de la pipette nécessite d' avoir à changer sans arrêt les options de celle-ci, ce n'est pas franchement pratique. De plus un document comportant plusieurs pages ils vous faut retrouver la page ou l'effet est appliqué pour l'appliqué sur une autre. Alors que si l'effet était comme dans photoshop on pourrait facilement le copier coller
Autre suggestion lors ce que j'ouvre certain document lourd, je choisis un affichage standard ou rapide plutôt que l'affichage en qualité supérieur. J'aimerai que ce choix soit mémoriser dans les préférences à l'ouverture du document, liée au document et non au préférence générale d'ouverture.
Autre problématique, une couleur en ton direct importée d'illlustrator dans un document indesign n'est pas supprimable, hors il n'y a rien qui la différencie du reste. De surcrois vous ouvrez un document d'un client, vous utilisez la couleur "illustrator" sans savoir qu'elle est lié à un import puisque rien ne la distingue dans la pallette de nuance, du coup vous pouvez plus modifier la couleur partout ou elle est appliquée par un supprimer remplacer. j'aimerai pouvoir supprimer la couleur dans indesign sans que cela affect le fichier illustrator ou A défaut ce serait bien que les couleurs importées d'illustrator se distingue dans la palette de nuance.
merci pour votre attention.

In the Index Window, add a column to show if there is a Number Style Override
In the Index Window, add a column to show if there is a Number Style Override and if yes, what format. It is time consuming to open each entry to confirm setting.

Grouped master-page elements
Could InDesign please fix the long-standing issue with grouped master-page elements? When elements are grouped across left- and right-hand masters, applying just one master can cause elements from the other to appear. Could elements be automatically clipped at the spine so only the selected master’s elements appear on each page?

Please make editing colors and adding swatches available anywhere colors are involved
E.g: in Paragraph Styles / Character Color - make it possible to add a color directly, in stead of having to leave the dialog to do so.

Display full file name in Relink dialog
It would be usefull to have displayed full file name in Relink dialog on MacOS.
It helps to find correct file in list faster without going somewhere else to find it out.Explanation here

MacOS27 use smaller corner radius in smaller windows like tab-settings
MacOS 27: Apple has changed the corner radius, but also offers to use a smaller radius (keyboard overview panel) and it seems a non-brainer to implement this in menu items like tabs.

Add context menu for recent files on home/start screen with option for Reveal in Finder
When a document is open, its tab gets the attached right-click context menu, but on the InDesign home screen, the Recent files shown don't have any context menu at all.
These items should have context menus, with the Reveal In Finder option at least to avoid needing to load the whole document from my network drive just to find it on disk.
This would also seemingly be a sensible place to put the "Remove From Recent" option that has been requested multiple times by other users.

Add a 'Discretionary Page Break'.
When working on a document, paragraphs can break up over pages. To get more control over these page breaks a 'discretionary page break' would be nice: like a discretionary hyphen, this should mark the preferred location for a page break.
Combine with keep options and some extra settings, this could provide a lot of comfort when working on documents in progress.

Tenía una pequeña duda sobre la reserva antes de mi viaje.
Unos días antes de mi viaje, revisé mi reserva y noté algo que quería aclarar. No se trataba de un problema grave, pero no quería dejar el asunto para el último momento y tener que resolverlo en el aeropuerto.
Empecé a buscar información sobre el servicio Air Canada Telefono, ya que quería saber qué opciones de asistencia había disponibles para mi consulta. Antes de hablar con alguien, verifiqué los detalles de mi reserva y reuní toda la información que pudiera necesitar.
Tener a mano el número de reserva, las fechas del viaje y el itinerario facilitó enormemente el proceso. También me resultó útil consultar la información de asistencia de la aerolínea, ya que allí encontré respuestas a temas como reservas, equipaje, reembolsos y otras dudas frecuentes de los viajeros.
La principal lección que aprendí de esta experiencia es que es mejor resolver las dudas con antelación en lugar de esperar al día del viaje. Revisar todo no me llevó mucho tiempo, pero me dio tranquilidad antes de emprender el viaje. Visit: https://reservarvuelos.com/atencion-cliente-aerolineas/air-canada/
Cuando tienes alguna duda sobre un vuelo, ¿sueles buscar la respuesta en internet primero o prefieres hablar directamente con un representante de la aerolínea?

Make it possible to Redefine the current selected text to any existing Style
In many cases a restyled text should not redifine the current style, but another (unused/old style) E.g. when creating a subheading from the Plain text style. If there was a Style called 'Subheading' already, it would be nice to let the selected modified plain text directly redifine that 'Subheading' style, in stead of creating a new one, find out the Subheading already exists, delete it etc.
