My be it's not an idea, but there's something wrong
Upgrade auf Indesign 2025. Datei im Umfang von 32 (!) Seiten stürzt permanent ab, auch nach der zweiten oder dritten Änderung im Text. Rückkehr zu Indesign 2024 nicht möglich, da alle Dateien neu gespeichert wurden. Was ist zu tun?

How to Win Geometry Dash Lite
Winning in Geometry Dash Lite requires more than quick reflexes—it’s all about rhythm, timing, and persistence. Every level is designed to test your reaction speed and ability to stay calm under pressure. Here’s how you can master it.
Learn the rhythm: Each obstacle follows the beat of the background music. Listening closely helps you anticipate jumps and spikes instead of reacting too late.
Practice in training mode: Use practice mode to memorize tricky sections. Don’t rush—focus on getting the rhythm right before attempting the full level.
Tap lightly and consistently: Over-tapping can ruin your timing. Keep your taps short and…

Add "Fit Frame to Content" option to Object Styles
Add an "Auto-Size Frame Options" section to Object Styles that would allow the frame to automatically adjust its dimensions to fit the placed content. This feature would be particularly valuable when importing images via XML files for automated catalog production. Thank you

Formatting bullet points
Implement a simpler way to format bullet points in InDesign. For example, in Microsoft Word, you can simply hit Enter and then Tab to create a Tier 2 bullet, with predefined spacing. While I understand the use of character styles, tabs, and paragraph styles for bullets, it often takes me and my colleagues a long time to remember how to format them correctly. I love typesetting, but the bullet formatting always trips me up!

Option to ignore hidden spreads while auto checking spelling or find/change etc.
There are a few posts surrounding hidden spreads. Perhaps all these could be view as a whole when tackling.
My specific feature request is that automated text editing functions such as Find/Change and Spell check have an option to disregard content on hidden spreads. Currently the checking process for each of these (and possibly others such a replace font etc.) is interrupted by having found object on hidden spreads and requires that they be unhidden to progress. Keeping spreads hidden is not an option as clicking OK to the prompt that pops up ends the checking process.
Also while considering…

Line-Based Paragraph Shading Option
Currently, InDesign’s Paragraph Shading feature applies shading across the entire width of the paragraph, regardless of the actual length of the text on each line. This often results in large shaded areas extending far beyond the end of the text, which is visually unappealing and requires complex workarounds.
Please add an option to apply paragraph shading per line, so that the shading extends only as far as the text on that line. This would allow for much cleaner typography, especially in cases like poetry, short line breaks, lists, or multi-line titles.

Exclude leading words from Table of Contents "alphabetical order".
I'd like to be able to exclude leading words such as "The" from the alphabetical ordering of the listings. We do a festival program each year with a sponsor directory and end up with a hug section under "The" like they're in their own little world at the end of the Table of Contents.

Add "Duplicate" and "Delete" option to Home Page of Indesign
When opening Indesign, the homepage that comes up could include a Duplicate Project button on a right-click menu. This would eliminate the need to open Files separately on my local computer, find the correct file, and copy/paste it there before I can have a duplicate from which to make new version changes. It could also include "Delete" or "Hide" buttons for managing InDesign files.
THis would save me quite a few steps that I need to take outside the InDesign program just to duplicate a project. Thanks!1 vote -
CMD+CornerRotation unsed, idea: Rotate around anchorpoint
While rotating an object with the default tool (not the rotation tool), the CMD-key is unused.
shift+rotate = rotate in 45° steps
alt+rotate = rotate and make duplicate
shift+alt+rotate = rotate in 45° steps and make duplicatecmd+rotate => rotate around the anchored point
cmd+alt+...
cmd+shift+...
cmd+alt+shift+...You get the idea.

Add access to photo albums in InDesign
I am working on an art book which entails inserting many photos. Because my photo library includes many different types of photos, the art photos have been segregated into an album. Unfortunately I cannot access that album directly, which means I will have to move all of those images into another folder outside of photos in order to insert them with Place. Please add album access to InDesign. I have given ID full disk access but that does not make any difference.

Improved Animation Features and Native Video Export in InDesign
Improved Animation Features and Native Video Export in InDesign
Dear InDesign Development Team,
My name is Eldad Pnini, and I manage a graphic design studio that relies heavily on Adobe InDesign -
not only for print design, but also for digital content creation.
Currently, InDesign offers basic animation capabilities, but we believe there is significant untapped potential. At our studio, we use InDesign to design banners, landing pages, social media posts, and stories - and simple animations (like entrance, exit, movement, fade, etc.) are a daily need. We would greatly appreciate seeing major improvements to the animation tools in future…1 vote -
Prioritize Adobe Photoshop in “Edit With” context menu
Currently, InDesign relies exclusively on the operating system’s default application associations when generating the Right-click → Edit With menu for linked images. As a result, users often see irrelevant applications such as Microsoft Edge, Word, or generic photo viewers, while Adobe Photoshop (the natural and professional tool for image editing) does not appear by default.
This workflow inconsistency is counterintuitive for professional users:
InDesign is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem.
Photoshop is the industry-standard editor for images.
Most users expect seamless integration between InDesign and Photoshop, without having to manually browse for Photoshop each time.
Suggested improvement:

separations preview - keyboard shortcuts to toggle one channel on and off
At the moment, the separations preview has the ability to toggle ON an individual channel by using a keyboard shortcut e.g. viewing the Cyan channel only can be done by going cmd + opt + shift + 1. Similar shortcuts can be used for the M Y & K channels as well as 5 spot channels, and all 4 process channels at once. However, they only toggle the separation ON. What would be preferable would be the ability to toggle a channel OFF.
Here is a use-case: I'm a finished artist inspecting a magazine layout from my designer. They have…

Upgrade font selection dialog to match new Illustrator format and capabilities
The Illustrator team are upgrading the font selection dialog, so that there are now three versions: Photoshop's, InDesign's, and Illustrator's. At this point (September 2025), the Illustrator beta is the most capable and flexible.

Share for Review with ChatGPT
Can you allow Share for Review to connect to ChatGPT. I want to share it with ChatGPT and it will proofread it and populate a bunch of edits that I can go through.
Automated grammar/spellcheck with contextual awareness
• Visual layout critique suggestions
• “Tone” analysis for editorial documents
• Accessibility flagging (e.g., contrast, font sizes)
• Multilingual proofreading (Hebrew, English, etc.)
• Brand consistency checks (“Did I use the correct logo spacing or style guide font?”)1 vote -
Support compressing images with WebP when exporting with Adobe PDF Presets
When exporting a PDF, there are several options to compress images: JPEG, JPEG 2000, ZIP. And we can choose the image quality, from Min to Max. To a degree, PDF file sizes can be reduced with these settings, but at a certain point the image quality is too poor for anything meaningful. WebP has incredibly high quality for a low file size, plus it supports an alpha channel.

The Save a Copy default should be to not overwrite existing copies. Instead it should append a number to the filename of the new copy, the same way MacOS handles file duplicates. Overwriting could be a checkbox in the Save a Copy dialog box.
If it worked this way, I'd have a simple method of keeping versions of my files without having to remember to rename each copy. If there's another way to do this via a script, I'm all ears! Cloud docs are unfortunately not an option for me.
