After a recent update, my InDesign is now showing all these stupid pop-ups the whole time.

Screenshot attached. To be absolutely clear, I am talking about the entire dialogue box, not the tool-tip illustrateed in a section of the dialogue box shown.

How do I kill them off once and for all ? I've looked through Preferences but canot spot anything obvious.

How to

Hi everyone,

Thank you for continuing to share your feedback and experiences regarding the recurring in-app notifications and pop-ups. I understand this has been a long-standing concern for many of you.

I wanted to share an update that this topic is being discussed internally, and the product team is actively considering the feedback. We also have a bug logged for this behavior and are continuing to track it.

In the meantime, please follow and upvote the existing UserVoice report for updates and to add your feedback:

ID-4257796 – Provide an ability to disable IAMs and other In-app notifications

Please also update to the latest InDesign 21.6 release and continue to share your observations if you're still seeing these notifications.

I'll keep this thread posted as soon as we have further updates from the team.

Thanks again for your patience and continued feedback!

Abhishek

Du kannst nicht. Adobe hat beschlossen, dass Ärger ihr zweiter Vorname ist.

The below tutorial window (scrrenshot) for Text to image pops up every single change I make to scale an image, which is not releavant and frustrating.

There is no way to click got it or any buttons on the pop up. I have to press enter to get rid before i can make a single change to scale, and it comes up again.

Please advise how I can get rid of this, it is affecting my work, I like to preview the scale change and do this gradually to fit in the the document.

Many thanks,

that's some unusual behavior.

try these general troubleshooting steps, especially cleaning caches:

will it make a difference?

Thank you for the advice 🙂

I have tried this, and now looks like it has stopped (at least for the time being).

Will see if this is a continuing fix

YES INDEED these pop-ups are EXTREMELY annoying! Another thing that drives me crazy is the Workspace setting that resets itself randomly very often. Sadly, after 30 years of working with Adobe software, I can not move my workflow to any alternative because of the company policy (I get the work files from outside). Adobe products have turned into CPU power eating monsters, especially After Effects.

That's the real issue here: the Workspace reseting all the time. If it worked as it should the popups wouldn't happen anymore. But the Workspace issue has been an ongoing problem for years. Apparently not a priority. Stunning.

Alas! No. At least not yet. But I did ask for it to be added to preferences.

I feel your pain. It seems like all tech is getting worse at it gets older. I am hoping soon that there is a visionary in Adobe to can adopt the mantle of "Make Adobe Great Again" and really work with it's users to empower them and support them. I just completed one of their surveys and I'm not very hopeful. For one thing they introduced the idea of "membership" which is just a fancier, more "upscale" term for subscription. I just want tools that work at a reasonable price that are customizable to my production needs. It was once this way in a galaxy far, far away.

The pop ups are driving me insane. And I come to this page to find out if I can turn them off, so I can get back to work... and I'm hit with two more pop-ups from adobe.com. Sooo, does that Adobe thinks everyone wants to click through a forest of pop-ups every five minutes, everywhere they go?

InDesign is suddenly infuriating, in this latest version. I can't believe it isn't possible to disable them.

This is infuriating. I got online hoping to find a simple say to disable these pop-ups. I'm going to go back to using an older version of InDesign. It is beyond belief that there is no way to turn this off. Does Adobe realize the amount of distraction and extra time it takes to deal with these Pop-up suggestions?

+1 on removing the annoying pop-ups!

I would also like to disable the blue oval SHARE button at the top. This is a feature that we never use, because our workflow differs from this method. I've wanted to remove that since they first introduced it.

It feels like the app has gotten terribly bloated, and slow.

It would be nice if most newly added features had options to choose to use OR NOT.

I'm not against new features being added, but would love to get a faster, more nimble app by turning off features which are not relevant to my my workflow.

Can't you just ignore the share button?

No.

Incidentally, this is just my work account. I've been using Adobe since the 80's (since before some of the apps were even owned by Adobe). But about 2 years ago, I dropped Adobe completely in my home business, and only use it at my day job.

There were 2 determining factors in this: 1. The subscription model (I got tired of shelling out $700 year), and 2. The pervasive attitude that what bothers the Users of this paid app does not matter.

There used to be an app called QuarkXPress, which dominated the Desktop Design Market. Quark got the idea that they were irreplaceable, and stopped listening to their user base.

Today, only a very small percentage of designers use QuarkXPress, with estimates placing it at less than 5% of the design market due to the dominance of Adobe InDesign.

Adobe needs to take a lesson. Other industry quality apps are coming up, ready to step in.
