Non-Linear History and Undos - By page
Much like paste, paste into, paste in place, undos should be able to have some added features. Photoshop has non-linear history, which feels confusing to undo a brush from 10 steps ago. However, InDesign would greatly benefit from current page specific history, undos, searching, text, edits etc.
An example, my workflow for placing graphics and prepping captions in a document, is to do one task at a time page by page. I also use transform again individually to apply things like rotation to existing graphics, or frame fitting if I'm placing a graphic somewhere. When placing a…

More relevant Share for Review page title
I've recently started using the Share for Review feature which is great, however when sharing the link on Skype (as well as other messaging platforms I'd assume), it shows the link title as “Your Work | Adobe Creative Cloud” which isn’t very accurate or helpful to whoever I’m sharing the review page with.
It would be ideal if the HTML title of the review page could contain the title I input when I set up the review page, so that the link preview is much more relevant for someone you might be sharing it with.

Advanced Paragraph Shading Options
- The ability to specify a specific measured width for paragraph shading in pica, inches or whatever is the standard unit for the document.
- The ability to extend shading through continuous paragraphs. (i.e. If two consecutive paragraphs have the same paragraph style (with shading) that there is no gap between the paragraphs. Currently you have to use offset to extend these.

Save Page(s) as File(s)
I prepare files for a team of 5 designers at my local university. In order for the designers to work on the project they need each page as a separate .indd file. As it would make my life easier and sounds like I don't want to do my job it would increase my workflow immensely.

Change pasteboard / background page colour
The dark grey isn't always best!
Often a page may have a dark background which doesn't sit will on a dark pasteboard background.
An option to change this background colour even if from a limited palette would be good.

Add feature to toggle on/off "adjust page numbers when hiding spreads" to add behavior option to match CC2024
Request: Add an option to toggle on/off "adjust page numbering when hiding spreads."
The updated Hide Spreads feature that adjusts page numbering when spreads are hidden is only useful in documents where you may have alternate versions of pages, but not when you are just trying to export unique sample pages from a long document. We have multiple users that had used Hide Spreads in CC2024 to easily exclude pages from a PDF export instead of having to type in page ranges to export. The original page numbers are critical to keep for functions like "see page…

Anchored Objects need be able to apply a text wrap when placed before their anchor point in text
For example, if the reference text for an image falls on the lower half of a right hand page, but the placement of the image works better at the top of that page—or even on the facing left hand page—the text wrap should be able to work before the object's anchor point in the text. Otherwise, when dealing with long documents, this feature is somewhat useless if you can only anchor some of your objects.

An options to place InDesign files into a document as spreads
Scenario: I have a a load of menus, A3 double sided folded in half, designed in two double page spreads. Client wants wide format prints of each menu ganged up on one sheet.
It would save quite some time if I could place the menu files into another document as spreads rather single pages.

Add option to center Document Grid on page (instead of aligned left)
Please add an option to center the Document Grid to the middle of the page. That is, instead of the origin of the grid being placed at the top left of the document, have an option to place the grid origin at the top center of the page. This way, extra space that "overflows" the grid is evenly distributed at the edges of the document (as a kind of default gutter), instead of the current behavior, in which the grid is aligned to the left edge of the document and any "overflow" space is only on the right…

'Even' and 'odd' pages from consecutive files in an InDesign book will not combine on a spread when exporting to PDF
When exporting a book with multiple InDesign files to PDF the last 'even' page from document 'x' needs to combine with the first 'odd' page of the next document on a spread.
So let's say document 1 is from page 1-6 and document 2 is from page 7 to page 50, pages 6 and 7 need to merge onto a spread when exporting to PDF. It will now make separate pages, while the pages from one and the same document do come out as spreads.13 votes -
Pages Window—keep active page in center area of the window
When working on long documents, it would be extremely handy if the Pages Window kept the active page in the center of the window, so the user can see what's behind and ahead. Currently, the Pages Window keep snapping the active page to the most bottom point of the window when I tab to another reference InDesign file—that contains all of the figures, images, and tables—for copy/pasting into long file (academic book). Also, the page numbers of the last pages of the document in the Pages Window are cut off from view.

Video player controls in publish online too small when starting retina document
When starting a document in bigger dimension (for example iPad retina) the controls of the viewer are very small. They are bigger when started as iPad1024x768. Shouldn't the controllers be based on percentages of the width of the screen?

Displaying docs side by side; use the whole screen
I have two docs to either compare or take details from etc, I need them side by side, so I use the Window > Arrange option and have them in whatever config I need. They then resize to ⅔ the screen size next to each other. Then grabbing a corner to resize the window makes them jump all over the place. It works perfectly fine when I split a window (Window > Arrange > Split Window), it keeps the doc full size of the screen, so why not when tiling?

Add a "View" option "a spread as single pages"
My idea is to create an option in the VIEW panel, to see your spread as single pages, where they are broken apart and still on the left or right, but separated... Here's why...
Amazon is becoming one of the largest online stores around. Their "create space" content uploader is requiring an interior bleed on your books. So if anyone wants to create a facing page spread in indesign, they will need to separate the pages into single pages so that they can work on making sure the graphics cover the bleed area as well as export…

Please add the possibility to place multi-page ID and PDF files like multiple images with gridify function
When placing a multi-page InDesign or PDF file it should be possible to use the gridify function the same way as when users place multiple images.

Page number more accessible
Could you add a button to the Pages panel to insert the page number? It's the logical place for new users to look.

Zoom possible in presentation mode
When I set the page to be too long, enabling the presentation mode will show the full content, which makes the page too narrow in the screen to see the details, I want to add the zoom function in the presentation mode.
