After initial excitement over how useful the new endnote controls are for working with endnotes in magazine text, it's only serving to massively disrupt my workflow. InDesign insists on adding a new page for the endnote frame, whether or not I have 'load place cursor' checked in the document endnote options. Not the end of the world, but InDesign also makes a new page for the endnote frame any time I extend the story. I never have the chance to place the endnote. For example, I have the story ending on page 3, InDesign makes a new page 4 for the endnotes. I then make a new threaded text frame from the story to take the text over onto another page – InDesign makes another new page, moves the endnotes there, emptying the already-existing endnote frame (but not deleting it, or the already-existing automatically created page). The long and short of it is, I spend half my time trying to undo the pages that InDesign is adding automatically, every time I reflow the text that's already there. I assumed the 'place cursor' checkbox would stop this behaviour, but it's made absolutely no difference – the place cursor never loads.
