Update the Review Panel
I have been using Share for Review for a couple of years now.
First: Kudos to Adobe for the recent update to the website tools, especially the login banner and the zoom buttons.
There are still a few things that I would suggest changing on the app side, specifically to the review panel and the window from the share drop down:
-Can we add an update button to the review panel? Or, even better, when you save (NOT Save As) have an option to update the review during the save process? Better than digging into the share windowpane just to…

Ink Alias with a already used Spot but at a Percentage
In designing a calendar, it would be preferable to design for multiple colors initially, and then if the customer wants 1 color instead, i can substitute the various colors for instead the picked spot, but at a different Tint Percentage. I can already create a swatch of the spot @ XX%, but now i want to replace "SetupGreen" with 60% 286, and "SetupOrange" with 20% 286, for example. And at the end I still want to output this one spot color, but the design now sets those elements to the ink density of that spot color.

More Control Over Embeds (Option to remove the publish online button from my embeds)
Dear Adobe.
It's time to stop acting like the "Tommy Hilfiger of Software" and allow users "Who Pay" for your software to remove your branding from final published pieces.
Who said this would be OK? Seriously, you don't see PPTX files trying this hard!
ALSO... Give users control of the embed framework. Maybe we don't NEED all the controls and labels on the bottom of published items and just need the published item.
Also... Give the user the option to change the background color.

A way to lock a pages location in the window?
Is there a way to lock a pages location in the window? If not it would be a really great enhancement!
Such as this example where I have located the page in the center of the workspace:
SCR-20221023-hpi.pngexpand image
And then unintentionally I move it with in the frame:
SCR-20221023-hq2.pngexpand image
This could be single page or a spread.
Having the ability to, with a shortcut, set this position for this page or any page in the document to remain in the same position relative to the window.
Thanks for taking a moment to consider this!

Make PDF preset selection permanent
When packaging files, keep the "select PDF preset" from changing to whatever preset was used last in Indesign. When I package, I always use the same settings, but that PDF preset changes based on the setting I used when just creating a proof from Indesign. I'd love to have a preset that allowed me to create two PDFs -- when I package, I make crops and no crops versions. Would be a big timesaver -- to at least keep that preset the same for packaging and then to create two versions.

Folders in Pages Panel
Folders in Pages Panel would be most excellent!! So multiple chapters/sections of long documents can be combined and closed up for quicker navigation.

grid edit quick access from properties panel
alt+doubleclick is learned behaviour to edit links, for example. I would love to see this work on the properties panel, esp to tweak the grid settings, internally llinking to the preferences UI. That would save a lot of time and be quite simple to implement.
I use about 2/3 of the CC products regularly and the heterogeneous ui functionality drives me batty. in psd i click on the number and drag, in ai it takes three clicks to do the same. WHY?!?

Find/Change saved queries: dividing line should be visible
Currently, when Interface preference is set to dark, one can barely see the dividing line in the Find/Change saved queries dropdown. The line should adapt to the interface setting, providing full contrast!
But better yet, the whole thing needs a structural revamp, allowing an easy-to-use user-customized FOLDER STRUCTURE and easy export/import/backup.

crop marks length
Option to adjust the length of crop marks. We need to cut a lot of crop marks manually so longer crop marks would help to follow the line without cutting them off. At the moment we make the line a bit longer with a pen …

Grep: option to relink parent and child paragraph syles
I create an "A" paragraph style with some grep options and then create a "B" paragraph style based on the "A" paragraph style. When I add a new grep option in "B", style "B" breaks its link with "A", so if I change the grep option to style "A", style "B" keeps the "A" option original and don't update its grep option.
Please add an option to make it possible to keep the link between the parent style grep option even when I add a new grep option to the child paragraph style. Thanks.9 votes -
Footnote numbering for Persian and Arabic ePubs
It is a significant undertaking when one needs to convert an Arabic/Persian (RTL languages) book into an ePUB. In addition, the software capabilities diminish as the number of readers decreases. The InDesign Development Team has done a decent job making the InDesign 2022, version 17.3 (Eng/AR), work well. However, there is still a lot to accomplish in non-native languages to be processed.
One major issue with InDesign is that the only option for footnotes is using Latin numbers (1,2,3,...). When a book is written in Arabic/Persian, the same kind of numbers are needed (۱، ۲، ۳،...). When creating a print…

Change Toggling Style Override Highlighter to Turn On/Off
Toggling the style override highlighter is confusing if there isn't any override on the current page. Change the function from toggling to turning on or off.

Option to convert colours to process when importing links
I work with files from numerous territories, so sometimes I import vector logos or illustrations and they have spot colours included in them, either by accident or the other territory has used a spot colour and my client doesn't want to. Could we have a way that InDesign can show a warning when importing new assets so that I can decide whether to convert all colours to process before dropping into my document? Or maybe have an additional warning box that allows me to convert before I export to PDF? This would remove production errors and delays at printing stage…

coupure de mot
Hello,
In french, when there is a word wich have a "-" inside, can you forbid InDesign to put another "-" to devide it between 2 lines ? (see picture, the word "beaux-parents" has 2 "-" wich is a mistake)
This problem happens frequently in french text.1 vote -
Allow the 'import options' dialog window to be scaled up
When re-linking or placing a layered file it would be useful if the relevant dialog window can be scaled up. This would make it easier to select which layers are imported, especially when importing artwork that has a large number of layers (e.g. an Illustrator file). At the moment a lot of scrolling is needed especially if each layer needs to be imported into InDesign individually. Would be useful for workflow to be able to scale up the dialog window to see all layers at one time, and then select/de-select layers them from there.

Scroll while editing Paragraph, Character, or Object style
I usually have "Preview" checked while I'm editing a style to see how my changes affect the paragraph and everything surrounding it. The Style Options window is often blocking much of my view, even if I move it to the side, so I have to hit OK or Cancel, scroll so I can see everything, and then go back into editing the style. It would be useful if I could scroll while the Style Options window is open, much like I can while the Find/Change window is open.
