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.

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

For me, the context bar has been useless at best, but more often it is simply in my way. It frequently covers the image or text that I am working on, making it difficult to see and edit my work. This obstruction disrupts my creative process and hinders productivity. At least the context bar can be turned off, which is a relief.

Now in InDesign, every time I click on an image, a popup tutorial video about how to use the new text-to-image AI feature appears from the context bar This video covers about a third of my screen and whatever image I have selected. This is extremely frustrating as it prevents me from continuing with my project without first closing the video.

I strongly believe that these popups—whether advertisements or tutorials—should not interfere with the workspace. I hope this does not become a common practice, as it greatly impacts the user experience.

The Context Bar can be disabled by either clicking the three dots on the bar to access its menu, or via the Window > Contextual Task Bar.

I also think that after clicking 'Got It' the video won't show again.

Every time I move an image in InDesign, I see this annoying popup trying to coax me into using the next AI beta feature that Adobe is cramming into its software these days. I see Adobe community posts going back more than 6 years asking how similar annoying popups can be disabled on a number of Adobe apps. Please advise. And Adobe Development team, please make these optional without the need for the user to make registry edits!

And no, I don't want to keep clicking "Got It". I just want these helpul annoying popups to stop spamming my workflow.

So, for anyone else tired of this particular annoyance, you can go to Windows > Contextual Task Bar and make sure it is unchecked.

No longer in that place in the current version : 19.5

Of course, there is always a choice.

There are several other progs that do the same, some a lot cheaper as well.....

Does anyone know how to turn these off permanently in all Adobe Products?

It is my understanding that after you dismiss the pop ups 3 times, they will no longer appear.

That's not the case for me at least. Every couple of days for the past month or so the cycle of pop ups reset, often combined with my workspace being reset. Such an annoying feature when it's not properly working.
