Indesign 13.1 x64 (PC), Cell styles, Ignore option not working
I can't get the "Ignore" option to work when setting up cell styles, I've had it working on previous versions, but now it won't stay (it needs to show in the rule type and colour setting selector panel but when I select "Ignore" nothing shows in the panel - it needs to display the "Ignore" setting). An example of when you might use it is if you've set up a table with various cell styles, eg header row, thin underlines, thick underlines and a table end rule and then want to apply a tint panel to all, or some of…

incopy
I am using InCopy v. 20.0 with DropBox. When I open a document, changes that other teammates have made to items in the Assignments panel have not automatically updated like they used to. This is a new issue with the most recent update. Prior to the update, when I opened a file, any changes by myself or other people have updated automatically, but now I have to manually update each one in the Assignments panel. Is there a fix or a setting change that can address this?

SAVE
I’m using version 20.2 in English. I open a document, make changes and save. The SAVE AS window opens and tries to save without success. I need to save in another location and replace from the desktop. The translated window is this:
Unable to save the document. The document may be open in other applications. Close any other applications and try again, or use Save As to save it as a new document.2 votes -
Serious GREP style bug: ampersands
Hi, InDesign team.
I've run into a serious bug with GREP styles. Any GREP expression containing an ampersand character that is entered as a GREP style in a paragraph style will suddenly acquire additional ampersands whenever I scroll through the list of GREP styles.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Create a simple GREP style as part of a paragraph style.
The entire GREP expression should consist of the single character &. (Though this also happens when the & is part of longer expressions.)
Make enough other GREP styles that you need to scroll in the window to see them all.
Close the…5 votesThanks for reporting. We’ll review this shortly.

"Edit Page Size" drop down list; each entry duplicated
When using the "Edit Page Size" button/drop down on the Pages panel, the list of page sizes has begin showing duplicate entries, and I'm not sure why. It seems to have started out of nowhere.
To select an item in the list, you can see in the screenshot that each entry is doubled, and sometimes the "top" item is the correct one to click, other times it is the "bottom" item. In each pairing, one of them does nothing when selected.
I've attached an image to show what I mean.3 votes -

Share for Review Unreliable
I love the share for review function, however it is proving too unreliable to be used in a professional setting.
Here are the issues that my team and I encountered on a regular basis:
Review comment window is blank Updating sharing link freezes program Review page in browser won't load (spinning circle of death) Document in browser glitches and jumps around when trying to navigateThese are pretty serious issues that need to be resolved. I like the innovation, but in order to make it part of our process, reliability is the most important aspect.

story editor
Using Indesign 17.2 on x64 PC. Brand-new machine with fresh install.
To reproduce the issue open the story editor then close it.
Expected result: The story editor closes and I can resume working in the main document window immediately.
Actual result: When I close the story editor, the window disappears but all the tools on the toolbar, except the text tool, remain greyed out and I can't do anything in the main document for around 30 seconds.

Indesign incredibly slow or crashes with more than one document open
InDesign (15.0.2) becomes almost unusable with more than (1) document open. Trying to copy text or images from one document to the next or just work in one of the documents while the other is open results in minutes-long wait times (or complete crash) to even select a text box, type a character, etc.
Steps to reproduce:
Open INDD doc (either on network or desktop)
Open second INDD doc
Attempt to edit text in either doc or copy over text from one document to the nextSet-up info:
InDesign 15.0.2

We recommend you upgrade to either InDesign 2020(v15.1.2.226) or to the latest InDesign 2021(v16.0.0.77) for the fix.
If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application and click on the context menu on the top right and click on Check for App Updates.

zoom with touchpad windows
I would like you to make it possible to zoom with the fingers on the touchpad in Windows. It works in illustrator, but not in Indesign, at a PC, in Windows (only on Mac). Could you make this possible? It gives so much better control over the working process

Microsoft Surface Laptop vergrößert alle Bedienelemente von InDesign weil InDesign denkt, es wäre ein Tablet (wegen dem Touch Panel)
Ich benutze ein Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 mit Qualcomm Plus ARM-Prozessor und die BETA-Version von InDesign. Beim Starten geht InDesign sofort in eine Touch-Oberfläche, weil es das Surface Laptop, das auch ein Touch-Display hat, fälschlicherweise als Tablet interpretiert. Dadurch sind alle Elemente um den Faktor ca. 500 vergrößert, so dass man keine Bedienelemente mehr erreichen kann und das lässt sich auch nicht abschalten. Ich habe eine KI gefragt, wie man das lösen könnte, aber alle Versuche scheiterten leider. Aus diesem Grund kann ich InDesign auf meinem neuen Surface Laptop nicht nutzen, obwohl ich es mir genau dafür für unterwegs gekauft…

Thank you for patience while we were investigating into the root cause of the issue.
During our investigation we identified that the issue manifests due to Symentec DLP antivirus software.Please find below steps to whitelist the application:
1. From the Enforce console select System > Agents >Application Monitoring.
2. Select the application to white list. If it is not listed, click on “add application” and provide at least one of the required application binaries.(Refer to Symentec DLP_Console.png for reference)
Note: DLP attempts to validate every field populated. We recommend using as few as fields as needed. If the whitelist seems to fail, try changing which required field is populated or removing one of the other fields.
3. Uncheck all of the detection channels under the “Application Monitoring Configuration.”
4. Click on save and verify the application in the list of monitoring activities is unchecked.

Does this happen after creating or opening documents or both?

Linked Images Disappearing/ InDesign Files Opening as Read-Only
Good morning!
After my computer updated to Monterey 12.3.1, the linked images in InDesign files (indd) turn black or static or with colored stripes like bad reception on an old TV. The link panel did not show a broken link but I had to manually relink all the files. I've tried reinstalling InDesign and going back to an earlier version of InDesign. All to no avail.
A second problem that occurred is that InDesign files would only open as read only. When I tried to resave it said that someone had them checked out or I didn't have permissions to…

Cannot recognize/package .ai files from .indd files linked to another .indd file
See this forum post:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/is-it-possible-to-package-an-indesign-document-that-has-linking-indesign-documents/m-p/11629673?page=1#M405575When linking to another .indd file, and then creating a package, the package will include .psd, .jpg and .png files from the linked .indd file. However, it appears that .ai files are not recognized in the main file's link panel and are not packaged. The other non-.ai links to the sub-file's assets are included in the main file's links panel as well.

Applying a different swatch not always working (bug?)
It happens every now and then that changing the color of text by selecting the text with the text tool and clicking on the desired swatch does not change anyting. You can select the desired color, but the text color stays the same. It does not seem to be document related and is not always happening. If you use the color picker to select a random color from the document, the problem disappears. You can find more comments and examples on this issue in the Support Community: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/can-t-change-colors-from-the-swatch-panel/m-p/11859690
