[ID-4274243] InDesign clearing Undo stack frequently
Undo not working, InDesign 21.02x64
16.12.2025
As recently as yesterday, it was possible to perform more than 50 undo actions, but today only 1–2 steps are available, and my colleagues are experiencing the same issue.
Fix for this issue is available in the latest InDesign 2026 release (21.2.0.30) and InDesign 2025 LTS release (20.5.2.078), please update to this release from CCD app.

...and really annoying that you have to register and log in another place (this site) in order to state that this is super critical. Look at all the comments here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-undo-history-clears-itself-without-user-action/td-p/15631507

Error en el Historial de Rehacer y Deshacer, esto me tiene estresado, cuando hago muchos pasos a los segundos se borra el historial automati o le das click y se borra el historial dejandote con 2 o 3 rehacer, no es memoria no es ran he hecho de todo y esto me ha creado un atraso enorme de tiempo porfavor ? o soy yo que estoy haciendo algo mal? recien hoy descargue el programa y ya anda con errores?

This is very frustrating for me as well! The most undos I can have right now is 5. Not acceptable as this is an imperative function of this software.

I have two PCs with Windows, and the one with 32GB of memory doesn’t have the problem, but the one with 16GB is having the problem.

I am paying for Creative Cloud every month and this issue with only 1-3 undos is making my work much harder. I need this to be fixed as soon as possible!!!!!

It does seem to be a 16 GB RAM on Windows issue. I had this problem incessantly when my PC had 16 GB of RAM - really annoying. As soon as I increased the memory to 32 GB, the problem went away and undo functionality returned to normal. So I guess InDesign requires 32 GB RAM now.

Read on Reddit: The number of people with this problem is increasing; it could be related to having specifically 16 GB of RAM and Windows — a Windows update occurred around the time it started.
Lu sur Reddit : Le nombre de personnes avec ce problème augmente ; ça pourrait être lié au fait d'avoir spécifiquement 16 Go de RAM et Windows - une mise à jour Windows s'est produite à peu près au moment où ça a commencé.

I am having the same issue with InDesign. I have the latest version installed and only have 2-3 undos. I'm not having the issue in Photoshop or Illustrator so I know it is not an issue with my computer.

Hello everyone, I continue to report the undo issue. The problem has been occurring since around December 14. I use Windows 11 Pro, and I have updated InDesign to the latest version, but the problem persists. I am attaching a video to clarify what is happening on my computer. Please let me know if I can share anything else to help the Adobe team resolve this bug.

I'm experiencing this too - only about 3 undos. Very frustrating! I've uninstalled/restarted/deleted preferences/tried an older version etc and nothing works.
