make styles palette at book level (as well as variables, master pages and other shared book elements)
then, there could be a switch button in paragraph styles palette for documents (as well as other palettes) that makes all styles "inherited" from book "superpalette".
I mean, that I would make ONE set of styles which will be instantly propagated into all book documents, (which have this switch in "on" state).
I know it can be done with book "synchronize" button, but it is not working, when you change styles name in one document. Synchronizing just add this style as a new to synchronized documents, instead of changing its names everywhere.
And, last but not least, there will be…

Define epub:type in object style
Epub:type is available in Object Export Options, but can only be set on individual objects, not in Object Styles. Since some epub:types need to be used repeatedly (like "chapter"), it would be really useful to set them in object styles.

Publish Online Dashboard access via Adobe Account
It would be nice if you could access the Publish Online Dashboard via your Adobe Account online. Currently, you have to open InDesign and then navigate to the dashboard that way, but if you are already in an internet browser and logged into your Adobe Account, there should be a way to get to the dashboard.

Ability to place 'live' endnotes at end of story, not in separate frame
Fairly straightforward - current 2018 endnotes are forced into a separate frame, rather than being at the end of the text in the story. This means having to constantly manually moved them about when text frames are being adjusted. Need the ability to have the same positional behaviour at the end of the body text within the same story frame as endnotes have always previously had (preferably whilst still being live, but failing that, the ability to turn off the new behaviour would be sufficient).

Footnote numbering options for EPUB export
When exporting a single story into EPUB (2 or 3), the footnotes are numbered from 1 to x over all xhtml files with no chance to control their numbering. The footnote numbering options from within InDesign (per page, per section, etc.) should be respected while exporting.
Alternatively there should be some appropriate options in the export panel.

Repeat Grid
I'd love to see the Adobe XD Repeat Grid function redeveloped into InDesign. This would be invaluable to many publication designers that have repetitive layouts. Master Pages are great, but I think if it incorporated the repeat grid, it would increase workflow efficiency.

Advanced HTML5 export camparable to FrameMaker
I need an HTML5 export comparable to FrameMaker: I need all these options and even more. One of the most important one is splitting of HTML pages and automatic creation of a navigation structure based on these headings.

Add Sticky Notes to Incopy like in Acrobat
The Layout and the the Editors work pretty close together in our company. The ability for the Editors to correct their text in the Layoutview is a nice thing for both... Layout and Editors. But we really miss the "Sticky Note" Feature known from Acrobat. When the Editors try to communicate, that they want changes being applied to the Design, thats not really possible with Incopy right now. For example, the editors would love to click the sticky note tool, so that they could place it right next to a picture and add their notes. For exmample: "make this one…

見開きドキュメントのノド側に塗りたしを追加したい
PUR製本など見開きの良い製本を行う場合、ミーリングとしてノド側にも塗りたしを作成する必要があります。そうしないと見開きで絵柄が繋がっている場合は良いのですが、センターで絵柄が切り替わる場合に、印刷用に面付を行った時に、ミーリング部分に対抗ページのノド部分が出てきてしまい段差になってしまいます。現状そのままでは塗りたしを追加することが出来ないので、ドキュメントページの移動を許可のチェックを外し、ページパレットで見開きページを片方ずつ交互にずらしたのち、それぞれのページに塗りたしを追加しています。ただこれを行うと見開きとしてのレイアウトプレビューが出来ない、スプレッドでPDF書き出しが出来ないなどの不都合が起こります。なので必要に応じてノドのミーリング部分のアキをオンオフ出来るような機能があるととてもありがたいです。

Gutter control on spreads for facing-pages layout that require bleed on the inside edges
There are several requests for this that don't use correct terminology, so I'm going to add this one to hopefully consolidate votes on this long overdue feature. When working on facing-page projects that are not bound with glue, it is imperative that graphics and color that goes to the inside edge have bleed into the gutter. There is no gutter bleed support for parent pages in InDesign, requiring us to create two spreads with bleed across the gutter from either side to support pages that need that gutter bleed on export. Then we have to separate the pages in the…

Adjust pagenumbers if sheets are hidden
It's a great feature to be able to hide sheets. But, if we do so, the automatic pagenumbers should adjust to the shown pages, not counting the hidden pages as well.

disable launch image
Disable Launch Image
I do not think the launch images in photoshop, indesign and illustrator are culturally sensitive. They should not include any people especially not raunchy females. They should be totally neutral - landscapes, nature, no people please!!13 votes -
Share for Review - Image Quality
Bring the optimized quality of Share for Review images up to the level of acceptable web-based image optimization at 100% size.
I understand the need to optimize images for high-performance quick reviews. However, the current setting is far too low. Upgrading the image quality to an acceptable web-image optimization will help reduce feedback loops with concerns from stakeholders over bad image quality.
In my review workflows using Shared for Review, I am now constantly exporting and sending separate PDFs to reviewers to prove image quality based on concerns from the Share for Review representation.
Please know that the Share for…

Select multiple anchored objects
The ability to Shift+click to select multiple anchored objects to be able to make changes to all of them.
One situation this would be useful in is when you have multiple anchored frames for interactive text boxes to update all of their shared properties like font, and font size.

Workspace Sync across devices
Have your Workspace for all Adobe applications saved in your CC account. Like many others, I work off and sign into more than 1 computer (3 in my case). It would be great if I'm signed-in and can see my saved workspace already allocated in the application. Instead of re-tweaking my Workspace manually on every device.
Computers crash, major updates happen, and every-time we lose our settings, just a nice addition to add for the users.
Thanks so much, keep up the good work.

Repackage
If you edit a file in a package with external links, a REPACKAGE option should put all links that are not in the LINKS folder there.
extra; CLEAN PACKAGE should remove all files that are not used in the package.
This would avoid having to make a fresh package after every edit

By providing the flexibility to apply language settings to the entire document.
Hi i have an indesign document and just finished working on it. And i realized that language setting on this document is Turkish. I want to change language all texts in this document to english but I cannot do this all at once. I have to select all the texts one by one and manually to change the language setting. How can I change the language setting of all texts in the document to US english at once? Answer: There is no way at the moment :(
I can click on the text box, select the whole text with ctrl…
