Text Wrap path Selection
If we lock the Text Layer if it’s above the Objects’ Layer that has graphic elements on it, and we want to “Wrap” an object from that layer, we can see the Wrap Path which is Editable by Pen Tool & Direct Selection Tool,
When Wrap Path is active and then we want to select just an anchor point by making a marquee selection from outside (like Illustrator) to select a single anchor point the path disappears and we see disappeared path even mouse click button is pressed, every time we will have to click on the anchor point to select it which is difficult and wastage of time.If we lock the Text Layer if it’s above the Objects’ Layer that has graphic elements on it, and we want to “Wrap” an object from that layer, we can see the Wrap Path which is Editable by Pen Tool & Direct Selection Tool,

Make Publish Online Autoplay and Loop
I am preparing a presentation for a museum. I already have it set up in InDesign, and have shared it to stakeholders via Publish Online. However, it needs to run on a loop and flip slides automatically – because of COVID, viewers can't touch the screen. Adding a feature to time each slides's appearance and set to infinite looping would solve this, and avoid me having to recreate it as a video – similar to exporting an interactive PDF. Thanks!

Fit page to (Selected) Artwork (like Illustrator)
Fit Page to (Selected) Artwork (Like Illustrator)
This feature is required for InDesign. In the Pages panel, there is an icon to customize the page and on that menu, this could be the option or its icon should be added so the user could use it quickly which would be very useful.
This Feature could be in the Layout Menu and it should be in the Properties Panel too.1 vote -

Can we have columns option in Paragraph styles
can we have columns option in paragraph style, as i will save lots of text boxes to be created in a file, and user can type in only 1 Text box per page, rather then making text boxes for every single line. like i have 50,000 name labels to print, and i want each name to start from right and the next name should come exactly parallel on the left side in another column. and then it should go again to another column on the right side. I saw a post earlier regarding this ... but that user only had to print 1000. and created a text box with column for a single line ... but when it comes in bulk like 50,000 or even more ... then it becomes a bit difficult to handle so much text boxes (14 per page in an 500 pgs document)

MacBook Pro Special Characters
When using the newer MacBook Pro series, we are able to use special characters like e-diaeresis by simply holding our 'E' button and there will pop up a menu where we can then choose to select the preferable character.
Would love to see this! I have added an screenshot for clarification.

Integration for Bengali (Bangladesh) Hunspell spellchecker
For years I've been using my own Bengali (Bangladesh) hunspell spellchecking dictionary in InDesign, and I wish it was just integrated into the software. I'm the author of it and I'd be happy to provide it to InDesign. But alongside this it would be nice if the process of adding new hunspell dictionaries was easier, if it didn't need to be redone after every update; and currently it doesn't even work.

a separate panel for overrides on character or paragraph styles
The 'hover over the style' trick to display what the override is, doesn't work consistently.
I separate info panel would speed up my work flow immensely.1 vote -
More options for importing text styles
Please add extra options (in the screenshot), the two I would mostly love is only keep bold and italic styles.
Have a lot of text every day to import from word, with lots of bold and italic noted words.
I think a lot of people would love this feature!

Paragraph Style Groups and... Paragraph Style versioning
It would be nice to create named subversions of the same style instead of just marking the changed paragraph styles with a + sign.
Then such subversions of one style will be saved with an additional qualifying name, and they can be quickly assigned in the right place in the text, instead of manually marking up the text.
This is somewhat similar to the existing style group, but with slightly different functionality.
Let's say we need to build a table of contents. In this case, each heading has its own level of hierarchy, but several different paragraph styles cannot be placed at the same level of the hierarchy. If we could use the common thin style group name instead of a specific paragraph style name, a lot of nasty things would be solved.
Another example concerns text variables for paragraph styles when creeping headings are applied. Several sections of the same publication may have different hierarchical structures, and different paragraph styles may fall on the same hierarchy level.
Therefore, the introduction of versions of a single paragraph style would allow not to complicate the structure of the document too much by using many master spreads and manual control over them.

Multi Level Running Headers with Numbering
Add the ability to have multiple running headers. Specifically for multi-level lists that include numbering. Currently you can only select one paragraph style and it doesn't include numbering. It would be great to be able to create breadcrumbs for multi-level lists so you can show which section and subsection you're in INCLUDING NUMBERING. Currently the running header drops the numbering which is annoying.

Show error when paragraph composer cannot render lines
All too often, I run into text that doesn't render because of some feature of the text (unsure of all cases, but examples are words that exceed the line length, common in some languages and in URLs). I have a stable of techniques for dealing with these issues, but most usually I'm poking around in the dark: the lines I'm trying to fix are not visible in InDesign; I don't know what exactly is offensive (e.g., Chinese lines were usually things work, but sometimes they don't); and the offending text might have gremlins from the source text that are not rendered in InDesign even when I can see them.
It would get great if InDesign had an option to 1) show the error/reason that the line couldn't be rendered, and 2) to force render the line so that users are not guessing at fixes, or what I often do, throwing text into a basic text editor to attempt to clean the source text (which is a 50-50 or worse solution).
FWIW, I see these errors most commonly in Chinese text, and perhaps most issues could be solved with a default Chinese dictionary. How I solve these Chinese issues can be bizarre, however: technique #1, adding spaces between words, then kerning out the spaces; technique #2, adding tab characters at the end of the paragraph (not even sure how I figured out that one!)
One thought here would be to provide an option to render overset type within the Normal screen mode. Or to add a more specific error to the Preflight panel (e.g., sure its overset, but not because the frame isn't big enough, so what is the problem?)

To export personalized press books, to have a complete layout and be able to set aside non selected pages without removing them.
To export personalized press books, it would be SO useful to enjoy a complete layout of all our work and just be able to set aside non selected pages without removing them before exporting the tailored document for a specific client. Of course, the pages numbers would have to automatically adjust themselves. Would this be possible? This would avoid saving many different versions after inserting and removing pages constantly.

Make it possible to lock down or freeze all kinds of text wraps made by detect edges
It would be great if there was a way to “freeze” all kinds of text wrap made by detecting edges in a document, or in other words to make them static, so they stop changing with the image. If the designer uses the final image, everything is fine. The problems arise when a print service provider has to make adjustments to the images prior to printing, such as changing color profiles, converting or correcting colors, downsampling, or replacing the designer’s lores versions with hires. Even the slightest changes will often make the text reflow, and this is very troublesome to recreate exactly as it was.
There is a workaround where you turn these paths into modified paths by adjusting them just a little, and you can also find them by searching.
But imagine this:
On a regular basis, you receive a load of documents containing perhaps 500 of these text wraps. All images are to replaced with improved versions. The book is scheduled for printing a few days later. The designer has gone on holidays. There is no time to change all these paths to user modified one by one.
Or the other extreme: You receive a document with just a few of these, which you do not notice until it is too late.
This is what makes me wish for a nice, simple button that I can just press every time I need to make something ready for printing.It would be great if there was a way to “freeze” all kinds of text wrap made by detecting edges in a document, or in other words to make them static, so they stop changing with the image.

Preview at proportional size with content collector placer
I place many images using content collector placing tool and am having trouble positioning on page. I place a few images and have to adjust place some more adjust and so on to save paper for proofing.
If I could have a proportional preview(proportional to the previously placed images) so I know how it will fit before placing it would save much time. I sometimes place hundreds of images at a time this way.

Add the SPREAD NAMES for the reviewers
Add the name of each spread in "share for review". Right now they're rename "1-2-3-etc." and it may be confusing for people that receive the document to know what spread is what when we named it already in Indesign (ex : Facebook publicity, Newspaper publicity, Website, Poster, etc.)

Keep wth Next able to keep with more than 5 lines
The ‘Keep with Next’ feature is very useful, but why is it limited to 5 lines. A max of ten would be far more useful.
