    We would need more information on this.

    What is the OS version on which issue is seen?

    Is slowness seen with specific/existing documents or with new documents as well?

    Slowness starts happening just after opening documents or after doing some specific steps or after using it for some time?

    Okay, here is some more detail on this problem.
    - Beachballing happens upon opening a document
    - Beachballing happens when you scroll from page to page or spread to spread
    - Beachballing happens on EVERY click of the mouse, selection or drag. It happens on all boxes: Text or picture
    - Blinking or screen voiding happens randomly when selecting any box or selecting a line of text. Especially picture boxes or text boxes with tables.
    - Beachballing happens upon opening the INDD program in the home screen-before even opening a document.
    - Beachballing happens when closing a document. It beachballs then goes to a blank progress bar that progresses slightly then disappears.
    - After closing and returning to the Home screen it beachballs again, albeit briefly.

    I have checked the system and it is running satisfactory. INDD 20.0 is the only app thus far on my 3 machines reacting this way.
    - Mac mini: i7 Intel - 32 Gig RAM, 3.2GHz, 6-Core
    - Mac mini: M1 Apple - 16 Gig RAM
    - Mac M2 Laptop - 16 Gig Ram
    All machines running Sequoia 15.0.1

    It's all documents no matter what the size or legacy. Older documents I save to INDD 20.0 right away but even this doesn't help. The slowness happens from the beginning of opening the document. As the program is used the slowness/beachballing on every action seems to get worse until it levels off at it happens with every click or even just the movement of the mouse.

    As stated in my previous comment both machines are running Mac OS Sequoia 15.0.1
    I don't use INDD much on my M2 laptop but will test it this afternoon - also running Mac OS Sequoia 15.0.1.

    - Mac mini: i7 Intel - 32 Gig RAM, 3.2GHz, 6-Core
    - Mac mini: M1 Apple - 16 Gig RAM,
    Both machines running Sequoia 15.0.1
