I just started using indesign in CS6, all went smooth, until the history panel is gone. I can't remember what I did, I might press something accidentally, but it is gone now. I tried to open window and look for history option, but its not there. what can I do to show the history panel again?

    ‌As Peter said, InDesign does not have a History panel; a third party plug in could have come from either DTPTools or 65bit, both have/had this kind of plug in.

    This Adobe Help page for InDesign says that there is a history panel under Windows. But it's not there.

    Only the newest version of InDesign (2024/25). This topic was about older versions. Maybe we should lock this?

      For those that thought InDesign had a history panel, perhaps you're thinking of this plugin:

      In Design does not have a native History panel. I fyou ever had one, it was a third-party plugin.
