macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta…

Find/Change doesn’t show up…

I know I’m not supposed to be working with a beta OS, but here I am… I just thought it might be useful for some people to know…

By way of an update - Dev Beta 5 of Golden Gate was released today and *so far* this issue seems fixed.

Hi @teejaycee23,

Thanks for the update and for testing this with macOS 27 Golden Gate Dev Beta 5. It's great to hear that the Find/Change issue appears to be resolved so far.

I've shared your update with the team for visibility. Please keep us posted if you notice the issue returning or encounter any related behavior.

Thanks again for taking the time to report back!

I had this issue - I found a fix was choosing “Reset Preferences on Quit” under Preferences > General. From the next instance of inDesign usage the Find/Change box restored.

The primary issue I have now is occasionally documents refuse to save, and I have to move all pages to a new/other document and abandon the existing one.

Hi @Astronomie-Québec,

Thank you for reporting this, and I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing.

Since you're currently using macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta, I'd recommend, if possible, reverting to macOS Tahoe, which is currently within InDesign's supported operating system requirements.

You can find the list of supported operating systems for InDesign here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/desktop/get-started/system-and-product-info/adobe-indesign-technical-requirements.html

As macOS Golden Gate is still in beta, it isn't officially supported by InDesign yet. We recommend waiting until the operating system is officially released and added to InDesign's supported compatibility list. Once support is available, the HelpX page linked above will be updated accordingly.

In the meantime, I've shared this with our product team for further investigation and will keep you updated with any findings.

Thank you again for taking the time to report this and for your patience.

I do know it’s not supported. Going back to macOS 26 Tahoe is impossible, as macOS doesn’t allow “downgrades.” Besides, serena004williams is right that it needs to be addressed before macOS 27 is officially released.

I found a workaround by deleting (or renaming) the following files in:

~/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version 21.0/en_US/

FindChangeData
InDesign SavedData

But it works only about 10–13 times before bugging again.

Hello,

It's understandable that beta operating systems can cause unexpected issues, but it's still helpful to know that Find/Change isn't working on macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta. reproduce it and have a fix ready before the final OS release.
