Share for Review
Share for Review does not seem to be working even after another update.
I sent an invitation by "Invite Only". My client received an email with a link and the only 2 options available for my client are "Sign in with an Adobe ID" – 99% of my clients will not HAVE or NEED an Adobe ID.
The second option is "Enter a password if one has been shared with you." Unfortunately, I was not given the option to set up a password. However, when posting publicly I could.
And lastly, when I update the file (link), there was no notification email sent to inform my client that the file had been modified, yet I am getting email notifications. Maybe that's because I have an Adobe ID.
I tried creating a new test but it look as though all the comments go away if one chooses that route. But if I have to go that route, honestly, I'd rather just keep emailing clients.
@Adobe, right now, all the potential is there for something great. However, this is an epic fail in my eyes. And mostly, I'm really getting tired of feeling like I'm a beta tester.
@Adobe: One last thing, when you fix this, as I am sure you will. MAKE IT THE SAME ACROSS ALL OF YOUR PRODUCTS FOR CONSISTANCY. Please.

Open more than one InDesign file
InDesign gets really slow after opening more than one document at a time
The Problem ist, that the Users can open more than one but InDesign get slower an slower, till you have to wait a couple of minutes until you can work on the selected item.
If we kill the InDesign Process via. TaskMananger an reopen the document, everythings works fine, but this can't be the final solution.
The problem happens in aller InDesign 15 Versions.
There ist no performance issue on the Win10 Computers. The Computer is running on 50-70%.

Text lag/slow when Documents Folder is present (package)
Since 15.03 there is a Text lag after opening documents that are in a folder that has a Documents folder. This delay has gotten worse in 15.1. If you're working from packaged InDesign folder, try deleting the document fonts folder inside it. Lagging was caused because of a double up in fonts on my computer. This took a month of testing by myelf and IT team to finally figure out!

Share for review
During this pandemic, I'm am trying to use the 'share for review' feature for a book I'm laying out. It is 600 pages, 300 spreads, about 333 MB file. It includes images and text.
I've designed other books -- the printer had no problem with the files
I'm using a Mac with InDesign 15.1.
When I tried to share the file, 4 pages - 2 spreads uploaded. I tried again and 8 pages - 4 spread, appeared for sharing. I didn't choose them, it is what InDesign randomly chose.
As an experiment, I created another file and tried to upload 100 pages. It worked.
I tried 200 pages. It didn't work. I received two different messages which I will attach. I tried to share a 150 page and received another artifact error.
Because of another message, I increased my cloud storage from 100 MB to 1 TB. So far that hasn't improved sharing but I wanted to make sure this wasn't the issue.
Is there a setting I'm not seeing or something I need to do first before trying to upload the complete file? Or is there a maximum number of pages before the share for review stops working? If so, it would be helpful to know in advance before trying to work with your help/support team who are not coming up with any help and referred me to this page.During this pandemic, I'm am trying to use the 'share for review' feature for a book I'm laying out.

Share for Review (15.1, ie. June 2020) color shift due to corrupt blend mode overlays
I feel like we've seen these kinds of issues before. But I noticed in the new "Share for Review" (InDesign 15.1) colors in a test document are shifting. A quick comparison shows that blend modes aren't been exported properly when sending a document up for "Share for Review."
In the screen shot, you can see what I mean: Top is the Review version as viewed in browser, bottom is the correct version as seen in InDesign. Some of the modes seem ok (Multiply, Normal opacity adjustments). But most blending modes aren’t rendering correctly (Hard and Soft Light look identical; Difference is something else entirely; even Screen isn’t looking right.)
Verified it isn't a browser issue or even an RGB export issue.
While this doesn't affect the ability to generally review a document, I can imagine a lot of feedback along the lines of "images look wrong" if using blending modes on overlaid objects.
Tested with both Ai objects embedded in Id document, as well as shapes created directly within Id.

package file name period
When packaging an InDesign file, if the filename contains a period, all characters after the period do not become written in the new package folder.
For example, if I package a file that is named "Project 06.16.20", the new package folder will be named "Project 06."
It should be named "Project 06.16.20" but for some reason, the name after the initial period gets ignored. User must type in the rest manually.

Character Alternates Contextual Menu not working in InDesign with Hebrew Support
Note the following checkbox:
Preferences > Advanced Type > Type Contextual Controls > Show for Character Alternates, Fractions, Ordinals and Ligatures
If checked, whenever a character is selected a contextual menu with alternates should appear (if supported by the font, of course).
It's working in the English (International) version, but not in the English (Hebrew Supporting) version.

All InDesign 15.0x EXTREMELY SLOW
All InDesign 15.0x is EXTREMELY SLOW, almost unusable.
I had to go back to version 14.03 to be able to work. This is on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, v1909. It takes minutes to paste a picture.

PDF Comments
I really like this feature and it is a big benefit to my workflow. However, I find the ability to cut or copy from the comments virtually impossible. Would be great if you guys could make this aspect more user-friendly.
Many thanks and stay safe

Major performance issues in 15.0.2 with multiple large documents open
I'm on a Windows laptop with a Core i7, 16 gb of ram and a dedicated GPU. Up until the 15.0.2 update there was some hitching and slowdown with these large files (and I noticed a weird bug where hitting T to use the Type tool doesn't actually change the tool) but now editing text can take up to 10 minutes with more than one file open. I can't make a screencast at the moment since I had to reinstall 15.0.1 to complete the project on time but the filesize we're talking about is 50-75mb, ~60 pages or so with about 300 linked images (it's a catalog).

proportional scaling
When I click and drag to re-size a text box or picture box, the proportions are constrained even though I'm NOT holding shift, and the lock button next to width and height is NOT selected.
Just started today. I've shut down and re-started my computer. I've closed and re-opened InDesign. I've downloaded the most recent update for InDesign.

Lagging/text doubling when changing paragraph styles
When changing paragraph styles the remaining text moves, but kind of doesn't refresh without me clicking away from the frame with the cursor or zooming in. What happens is I get double text which is confusing. Crashing is happening too at this point.

unasked for font changes in 15.0.2
It isn't so much an idea as a major problem. I upgraded to 15.0.2 yesterday and now fonts are being changed involuntarily and when I go into find font, I can't change them back. The names say they are there but the file looks like ****. I've gone back to InDesign CC 2019 to work, because I am completely stuck in CC 2020.
