Keep Comments on the Spread When Resolved
My reviewers love being able to see the conversation and comments all the other reviewers are making, saving them time by not making the same comment over and over. My proposal team thinks the interaction between InDesign and SFR is wonderful!! In our large documents, we have found as we start to make the edits, the comments disappear making it challenging for the document editor to find where they were. The comment totally disappears or it throws them to the end of the list in a pile of "unmapped comments." BUT it then totally moves the comment off the spread.…

Highlighting non-consecutive words
I would like to easily highlight non-consecutive words in a document, e.g. names of people in an article, so that I can apply a style sheet to all the highlighted words with one click of the style sheet.
Don't want to use GREP, just a simple keystroke or keystroke combination, e.g. shift > highlight; shift, option > highlight.
Carpel tunnel syndrome is bad enough.
Thank you for the consideration.

"Split Column" within a table cell
I'd like to be able to use the "Split Column" feature within a table cell. I can do a work around sometimes by creating an extra column and making the middle line invisible, but when I've got three columns above one merged cell, I can't get things centered.

ARROWS: Give arrow start/end a different color option from line type color
It would be great if we were able to make the end of an arrow (from within the stroke panel) a different or complementary color from the arrow line itself. It would be a huge time saver from the other workarounds required to create something seemingly so simple. Especially if it could then be saved as an object style. I think many people would use this feature in their designs.

Show bleed between spreads or make it possible to mix spreads and single pages in the same InDesign document
In a magazine you always have a combination of spreads and single pages for separate topics. In a InDesign document you can't work with a combination of spreads and single pages.
In order to print a PDF by an offset printer, 3 mm bleed is required all around a page. Further it is required that all the pages in the PDF are exported as single pages with bleed and crop marks. This works fine for a spread that has one big image that overlaps both pages of a spread. But not for a spread that has an seperate page layout…

Retain previous window dimensions & position & display
My ID (CS6) workspace has palettes down both sides of the screen. If I open a file that I'd been working on then closed, the file window stretches across the screen and goes behind the palettes, tho' when I closed the file previously, the window fit exactly between the two columns of palettes. Assuming a fixed workspace, I'd like the window to be exactly where it was when I last closed the file. It is a 3-step process to restore position & dimensions manually, more if there's a palette covering the bottom right corner of the window. Maybe this has…

Text perfectly aligned with text frame
If the white space on the left/right hand side of a character (image attached) can be ignored, the option of snapping the text frame with objects, guides/grids, could be possible.

Share for Review, Reviewing Comments: show page # as well as spread #
When in InDesign and reviewing comments from Share for Review, it would be nice to have the comments identified by page # as well as spread #.

Unresolved cross references need to be detected as errors
If a document contains unresolved cross-references, InDesign should register them as errors that show up at the bottom of the main window, with specifics listed in the Preflight window. At present, InDesign will notify me of the existence of unresolved cross-references when I start to print a file or book, and it will identify which files contain them, but it won't show me where to find them so I can fix them.

Exclude Pasteboard (PB) from Find/Change
Many of the Find/Replace functions would be much faster and easier to complete if only run on the pages area only rather F/C searching paste board too.

InDesign for iPad/Mac cross-compatibility
The iPad Pro has the M1 chip now. Why not have InDesign for iPad? Now that iPads have the same hardware as Macs there's no reason not to have one app that works on both.

SVG Import/Export with device-cmyk()
Please respect
device-cmyk()beside its RGB/hex color value for CMYK output in SVG file import and – if it will hopefully be implemented soon – in SVG file export of InDesign, e.g.
<circle fill="#CD853F device-cmyk(0.11, 0.48, 0.83, 0.00)" />5 votes -

Slow publication analytics loading
Most of time our analytics / statistics pop-up is VERY slow to load. Sometimes it doesn't load at all.
Can it be speeded up. Is there a reason its slow?
(PS I don't mean the 90 minute update lag, I mean any figures showing at all)

Rethinking pages with an infinite pasteboard and multi-user collaboration
Let us bring InDesign into an open and more collaborative world.
The individual pasteboard and contained page structure of InDesign are very constraining. It is time for a different approach to how we do page layout.
Let us move to an infinite style pasteboard canvas (a la Illustrator, or Adobe XD, Figma) where your imagination can run wild! Think of it as a blown-up version of the Pages Panel with the same click-to, snap-to rearrange functionality, but without the extra layer of InDesign UI baggage.
- Pages would function the same way with a left-to-right, top-to-bottom order, snapping layouts into the…

Adjust colours directly in the gradient panel
In InDesign, I'd like the option to edit colours from directly in the gradient panel, as in Illustrator (double click to access colour slider)
Having this feature added would greatly improve workflow - at the moment, I have to add colours to a swatch panel then drag them onto my gradient slider which becomes a very tedious process when making micro-adjustments.

Ability to copy link name only from links panel, as additional option to 'copy platform style path' 'full user path' etc.
I often copy links from one spread to another document and then need to search for the link on a a media archive for a client. It would be really helpful to be able to just copy the link name alone, through right clicking the link in the links panel (even better, without extension!) for searching purposes. This would also be helpful when searching your machine or a server for a missing link.
The only time I use this function is when searching elsewhere for an image / link, and therefore need to use one of the existing options, and…

Custom Workspaces - Save to Cloud
It would be great if we could save custom workspaces in the cloud so we don't have to recreate them when we reinstall CC on a new computer, for eg... Thanx!
