    InDesign 21.4.1, which includes the fix, is now live.


    The update should be available in the Creative Cloud app. If you do not see it yet, please click “Check for Updates” to refresh the available updates.


    Thank you for your patience and understanding while we worked to resolve this issue.

    After updating to InDesign 21.4 on macOS, I started experiencing issues with placed images that were not present in previous versions.

    Issue 1: Multiple object selection
    I can select multiple placed images.
    However, when I click and drag to move the selected objects, the multiple selection is lost.
    Only the object directly under the cursor moves, while the other selected objects become deselected.

    Issue 2: Align panel
    Align commands do not work correctly when multiple placed images are selected.
    The same align commands work normally with native InDesign objects such as text frames and shapes.
    The problem appears to affect placed image frames specifically.

    Troubleshooting performed

    Reset InDesign preferences.
    Tested after restarting the application.
    Problem remained.

    Resolution:
    Installed the previous InDesign version (21.3 / previous release).
    All functionality immediately returned to normal.

    This appears to be a regression introduced in InDesign 21.4.

    Platform:
    macOS
    InDesign 21.4

    Can anyone else reproduce this issue with placed images?

    The issue affects existing production workflows and was introduced immediately after updating to 21.4.
