Also the ability to change a document settings to English after some or all work is done.
I tried to do this kind of things on my project the file started to work very slow, not able to work slow.
Thank you!!1 vote -
Footnotes: ability to cite multiple references to a footnote, with appropriate tagging for accessibility
Each new instance of a footnote added in InDesign gets a sequential number – but authors and copywriters expect to be able to insert multiple references to the same numbered footnote. For example, a bank might want to put a single asterisk against multiple references to ‘interest rate’, with one corresponding footnote at the end to explain what 'APR', or 'EAR' means. So I’d like a new feature to be added that would, at the point of inserting a footnote, give the option to cite an existing one that’s already in the document. In an exported accessible PDF, there would be more than one <Reference> tag, each containing the same number, with corresponding <Note> tags containing the same footnote text for each.

J'aimerais savoir si Adobe pense optimiser la gestion des tableaux dans InDesign pour l'accessibilité des fichiers PDF
À quand le balisage automatique des tableaux (genre dans les styles de tableau) comme on le fait pour les styles de paragraphe (H1, H2, H3, BlockQuotes, Liste)?
<TR> row
<TH> header
<TD> data
Exemple quand on se retrouve avec un ou plusieurs « en-tête » TH vertical pour ne pas à avoir à gérer ça dans le PDF1 vote -
TOC update don't delete interactive button defined with "GoToTarget"
When working with the Table of Contents feature in InDesign and you have created interactive buttons that use "Go to Target...", the entries of these buttons are deleted (the defined target) when the Table of Contents is updated. There is nothing left but to re-enter/enter all button targets. It would be great if only new targets had to be added to the new buttons and existing ones were kept.

Keeping some formatting when linking unformatted tables from excel
It would be great to have an option similar to typographer's quotes, when linking unformatted tables to excel. An option with a preference checklist to allow superscript, subscript, underline, strikethrough, alignment, etc. while still removing fonts, size, etc. especially the superscript/subscript is crucial when dealing with excel, so it could also just be a tick box for this like with typographers quote.

script no longer works in Monterey
Don't Adobe and Apple talk to each other? Every time one or the other changes tech, nothing works. They need to be on the same page as each other because it goes hand in hand with their products working together.

Have a repository of InDesign experts to help beginners accelerate their project
In the Help menu, it would be nice to have one item where it says: Hire Help
Here is the rationale:
I'm stuck with this one project and I don't know who to ask questions ouside the usual "Hire a virtual assistant".
What I mean is this: why would I go outside the the InDesign Help ecosystem to get help?
If there was a pool of legal professional users of InDesign, I would be the first one to use it.1 vote -
Option to pick your default Share for Review Private or Public Access Setting
This may already be available (if so please teach me), but I don't see it.
Having the share for review option able to default to either public or private access. I can't tell you how many times I am in a rush and forget to click public and then the person gets back and says, they don't have access.

Add a "Duplicate" file feature much like Photoshop has.
Would love to have a "duplicate file" feature much like Photoshop has so we can create a new version while keeping the existing document open in its current state.

Larger area when moving page/spreads or duplicating via alt drag
REQUEST
Make the area for "dropping" a page/spread larger and on above and below pages/spreads.ISSUE
The current area to "drop" a page/spread is small and inconsistent (see attached video). It also limited to the left or right of a page/spread, NOT above or below.GOAL
Move or duplicate a page to a specific location in the document, more efficiently.REASON
Duplicate page command sends the duplicate to the end of the document, which typically needs to be moved to another location in the document, thus highlighting the issue regardless of moving or duplicating via alt/option drag.STEPS
Select a page/spread.
(Hold Alt/Option, if duplicating)
Click and hold mouse/trackpad.
Drag page/spread to desired location in document.
Hover over existing page/spread until vertical line appears left or right of the page/spread.
Hover towards desired location before or after existing page/spread.
Release mouse/trackpad.DESIRED RESULT
When moving or alt/option dragging a page/spread the resulting area to drop the page/spread is:
1. Consistent
2. Larger, especially to the right of the existing page/spread.
3. Includes above and below a spread.REQUEST

Tool for sustainable Design
Hello dear Adobe team,
At the moment there is a lot of talk about environmental problems and sustainability. Responsible use is particularly important when it comes to the use of finite and regenerative resources.
The AGD has developed a charter for sustainability for this purpose. "Designers are largely responsible for
how our world is shaped. Design shapes, design is a role model and creates
new awareness. Design consumes resources - sometimes more,
sometimes less. The sustainable use of natural resources,
with the environment and with the people who have remained in this world for generations
should be able to live, design must do justice. "
* Alliance of German Graphic DesignersDimensions of sustainable design Sustainable design is:
- material-efficient and appropriate to the material - energy-efficient - low in pollutants - low or waste-reducing - durable - suitable for recycling and disposal - appropriate for logistics - appropriate for use - socially compatible - economical and successfulHence, consideration should be given to orienting the designs to save ink and paper. Could Adobe provide a tool that can measure how much ink is used depending on the printing process and color setting? Thus, the material efficiency of a design could be checked and an optimization of the use of ink via measurable and comparable key figures could be inclined.
Warm greetings
