(InDesign 21.5.1, Windows 11 Pro)

There have been (are) several problems with InDesign’s Undo feature, to which a new one (as far as I know) can be added: when you Save As a document, the undo stack is no longer removed. This is a problem because over time, a document’s size can increase enormously. Reported here:

Hi ​@Peter Kahrel 

Your post is in the Adobe Express Developers forum, which is probably not where you meant to put it! Since we can’t move posts (yet), can you repost?
