   I posted a thread about this issue to the InDesign product discussion here: https://community.adobe.com/questions-671/layer-panel-refresh-when-switching-documents-1561356

   This behavior wasn't always the default; I can verify that in InDesign CS5.5 (v7.5.1) the Layers panel ("palette" at the time, I think?) didn't refresh when switching between open documents; layers remained highlighted, sublayers remained expanded. If it'd be helpful, I can do some research to pinpoint exactly which release was the first without this functionality.

   Resolved For User  ·  AdminRavi Kiran (Admin, Adobe InDesign) responded

   Gen Alt Text is turned ON by default. Users are informed the first time an image is placed to turn it off with a clear CTA.

   
   

   Closing this as As Designed.
