Share for Review: Invitation links are no longer file name
Updated to InDesign V 20.2
Share for Review invitation emails used to include the file name, but now show in the subject and body text as a string of characters. I have multiple files being shared to review daily, and its become difficult and time consuming to find previously shared projects since my email inbox is no longer displaying the names of the files being shared.

InDesign crashes when updating review link
InDesign Version: 20.1
OS: macOS Sequoia 15.3.1
Device: MacBook Pro (14in 2021)
Memory: 32G
Chip: Apple M1 MAXI regularly update a large file. Any time I try to update the Share for Review link, InDesign crashes. In smaller files, I receive an error message saying, "There was an error updating the artifact." The link will successfully update, but not without crashing or errors.

Share for Review, Review links in
The Review feature is incredibly buggy. When I open up my .indd to edit from the clients edits, I have the REVIEW window open on the right as I edit on the left. 1. the minute I delete within the highlighted area, the comment/edit immediately zooms away. This is so frustrating. Spelling errors cannot be corrected if the yellow highlight is on...you have to choose a letter replacement from a dropdown. So bizarre. And this is the MOST irritating...Why can't I just see a list of Unresolved comments with NOTHING ELSE? The screen is constantly over-populated with vintage comments that…

share for review
Last summer we encountered an issue working with the [Share InDesign documents for review] feature. After transferring Indesign documents between colleagues for holidays, it turned out that this function does not work when InDesign documents are processed on other devices. Not even within our license.
Indesign claims (attachment transcribed from Dutch):
No access for review. You cannot create or update a review share since you a not the owner of the review. Please save this as a new document to create your own review.Easy to write, but we do not want to bother our customers (stakeholders) by sending them…

Share for Review does not update
Share for Review creates a link but does not update content.
Reproducing:
- File created in InDesign 2024, Share for Review link created. Updating the content often showed a red "There was an error updating the artifact" error but would still update content in the link
- File opened in InDesign 2025, where it was converted to a 2025 file. Comments from previous version carried over in "Review" panel
- Clicking "Update Content" in Share for Review causes long loading icon. Once completed, it showed no red error, but the link did not update content. Upon third or fourth try,…1 vote -
Adobe Review: automatic adoption of text suggestions and incorrect filter behavior
When I receive comments on replacing text or deleting text sections via Adobe Review and these are displayed in Adobe InDesign 20.0, the display switches to comments with the status clarified. After each correction, which cannot be accepted with approval but must be made manually, I have to set the filter in the control panel back to unresolved comments to work on.
It would be desirable for a filter to only be set in the control panel when I activate it. I would also like options for inserting, replacing or deleting text to be applied with a click and not…1 vote -

Comments in a review are stripped after I upgraded to the latest version of InDesign
Today I updated InDesign to the latest version (20.0, Windows). A client had left some comments in an online review initiated through the previous version, and now those comments are all stripped from the document when I open it in v20.0.

review search
When sharing a review: On the review web page, there is no longer a possibility to search for text. This makes reviewing long documents with many pages nearly impossible. Reviewers have to manually go through all the pages to find the content that's relevant.
Until around mid-2024, it was possible to use the browser's search function (CTRL+F). This has been disabled. Even if enforced (entering search through the browser's menu), it does not work.
To me, having no possibility to search for text in a document that should be reviewed, sounds like a severe, obvious oversight and should be addressed…

Share for Review strikethrough & replace text from online edits aren't visible in InDesign or online viewer

Highlighting and draw tool are working correctly.

Issue Not Resolved: Cannot Implement and/or Copy Any Review Comments
This was previously mentioned with multiple votes and then marked as resolved by admin. However, multiple comments show that this bug is CRITICAL and NOT FIXED with the latest update.
Share for Review is essentially useless at the moment since there's no way to either A) download the PDF with edits, B) implement a change from the comment, or C) copy and paste the comment from the review panel.
Please fix, these features all work when sharing an exported PDF for review and then importing comments. Absolutely zero excuse that this expensive of a software cannot solve this and then…

Indesign 2024: 2024 version files open as Read Only - but only sometimes.
When opening files, created in earlier versions but already opened and saved as newer version, often, but not always, open as READ ONLY. Of course I'm not checking every time I open a file to see if it's read only because I've already updated the file to version 2024 and only realize when I try to save. PLEASE FIX THIS

Objects transformed with the Shear-Tool aren't displayed correctly in Review and with Acrobat Extension for Chrome
In my corporate design, I use rectangles with a shear angle of 45°. However, these rectangles are displayed incorrectly in the Review and in the Chrome browser with the Acrobat extension. Such rectangles are then not displayed at an angle, but as a larger rectangle. In the two uploaded images you can see the comparison of how it is designed in Indesign and how it then looks in the Review.
Correcting this display error is very important to me. Of course, I could also draw the slanted rectangle with the path tool. But this is very impractical because I can't…2 votes -
Share for review is not working properly
I've seen other people comment on this, and have had this crash several times in several different docs, but the Share for Review tool in InDesign is basically broken on a regular basis. Update content constantly just gives me a spinning wheel. The image quality is extremely lo res when reviewing (which was "resolved" by an Adobe team member saying "it would slow down load speed" which in this day in age is frankly absurd. Fix your "Share for Review" feature, I've almost lost two clients to it who thought we sent them garbage and who also needed something delivered…

Correct but wrong German translation for Review Panel
The German translation for »Share for Review« is »Für Review freigeben«. I do not understand why you kept the »Review« in English, but that's not my point here and could be discussed somewhere else.
There is the Review panel, which can be opened via Window > Comments > Review. In German it should be named »Review« as well, because you did not rename the functionality. Right?
But, hey, the panels name ist »Überprüfen«. Correct translation, but inconsistent, as you might agree to me.
So please, change »Überprüfen« to »Review« or change »Review« everywhere else to »Überprüfen«.

Link Name as Page Title in Share for Review
I have no idea why it isn’t set up this way, as the title of "Link Name" certainly makes it sound like that would be the page title, but instead I find that every single document I share for review has the page title of "Files | Adobe Creative Cloud" which is supper annoying when I have to share a few different proofs in a messaging app. Messaging apps (like Skype) convert the link to a card that features the page title in bold, so I end up with a series of links that all look the exact same, with…

Share for Review: there was an error updating the artifact. NOT updating!
Adobe InDesign CC 2024
I am working a magazine. The size is pretty large, lots of pictures. I was able to create the Share for Review link, and share it. But I am unable to update. Although, I copy the link, open the address in Google Chrome and my edits show. When I mark a pin resolved, it does not show in my indesign file.

Share for review comments moved after file update
Comments are no longer in the correct position after update to INDD file.... I entered a few line returns and replaced a space with a non-breaking space after a few words, going manually through the search and replace. Going backwards with the edits doesn't help.
