    15.1.1 It is available if you click on the triple dots on "other versions" for Indesign update in Adobe Creative Cloud. I am not updating though; I feel safer to be on the older version (15.0.3) for now.

    I am sorry to say that expecting us to be your test conduit for a software we pay for, one whose release should have been correctly tested beforehand anyways offering basic features as page and footnote numbers, sounds unfair and makes little sense to me. We appreciate all the work done by Adobe in creating this and other wonderful applications and system of upgrading, updating and improving the software in every release, and have taken for granted that you already have a sound internal testing procedure before you release each version. This seems to have been simply a gross and odd mishap, hopefully. So, why should I spend my time and risk my files testing your software again, not knowing whether there are still other errors around we have not noticed, ones that may end up corrupting my files and preferences again? I understand that those immediately and irreversibly in need may want to try the beta test version to move on, but I don't find any urgent need to upgrade until you offer assurance that the version to be upgraded is a final, internally tested, version. I have gone back to the last version and will just work as is, until you provide further notice about a finally approved version, as it is usually done and expected. My suggestion to all is just revert to the last version if you can, and just wait until Adobe offers a fully tested new version. I think it is fair not rush Adobe into fixing this, and end up with more errors. Just revert back to last version and give them more time, if this is possible for some to do. My reversion to the last version, other than loss of some preferences, seems to be going fine. I'll just wait, as if no new version has been released. My suggestion to Adobe is to make sure the same error is not made in Illustrator and other applications in this 2020 release.

    what a me"ss"!! Had the same problem, all numberings turned into "ss". I switched back to the last version, and now I find that all the preferences are gone, so have to set things up my workspace and perhaps other unpleasantries (to be discovered) again!

    Before switching, I noticed in the Indesign preferences there was no panel for "numbering options". Perhaps the cause of all this has to do with that being left out in the world options of indesign.
