There are major changes in backlog that have been in the InDesign Uservoice for years such as: Applying parent pages to all even or odd pages Īsides from this, the frustrating part for the community was, at the time of the new features announcement, there were 4062 requests on the InDesign Uservoice, though the three features listed for 2021 shown above were the ones given priority.Unfortunately, that is where the changes to the pages panel ended, and other requested changes to the pages panel hadn’t been implemented, such as: While the change in nomenclature didn’t affect me either way, I understand that users who were offended by the previous terminology would have welcomed the change… though this should be called an improvement rather than a new feature. I also note InDesign’s Uservoice site now incorporates three priority buttons (Not at all Important or Critical) so the development team can further focus on immediate needs rather than non-critical wants.
Indesign extended recent menu full#
2019 – data merge can use semicolon delimiter and now has “use existing” for variable image frame placementįor transparency, see James Wamser’s full guide of InDesign features.2020 – Share for Review with text annotations.2020 – Intelligent subject detection and text wrap.2020 – Use HSB values without RGB translation.2021 – Capture fonts, color palettes, and shapes from any image, using the new Adobe Capture extension.To be fair, InDesign has introduced what I would consider ten features since 2018, not counting bug squashing, catching up with operating systems or minor visual tweaks: I understand that the engineers can’t implement all suggestions by the users, and when I’ve had a chance to speak to the engineers and developers directly, I’ll give my “top five” requests rather than give my entire laundry list of ideas, fixes etc.īetween 20, I made a point to travel – at my own time and expense – to attend conferences on the other side of the world, where Adobe InDesign’s technicians and decision makers would be in attendance, so that they could hear these suggestions and understand my determination of 24 hours of airline travel to give them my pain-points and ideas. At the same time every year when Adobe MAX comes around, I look at the new features in Photoshop and Illustrator and wonder “will the changes in InDesign be as advanced?” and for the last several years, I’m always let down by the new features that InDesign has in comparison to its companion software.
