I just upgraded to macOS 11.3.1 and I use Adobe cloud InDesign 16.1. ID has slowed to a crawl. Takes FOREVER to even cut and paste. I've reset all my preferences, hasn't helped. What can I do to fix this??

Hi Jeff,

Sorry to hear about your experience about the performance of the app. I'd recommend trying to follow the suggestions given on this community post(https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/resolve-slow-performance-and-unexpected-behavior-of-indesign/td-p/11487287?page=1).

Let us know if it helps.

Regards,

How much RAM and spare disk capacity do you have?

Do you have a third-party application installed, such as a font manager?

I have a really stout iMac.

32 GB Memory

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019)

Processor: 3.7 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5

2 TB storage

I have a Font Book app but that's it

I have only used half of the storage, all my other applications work fine.

I have now downgraded to ID Version 15.1.3. My mac works great and fast now. Shame I can't use the latest version of ID with Big Sur.
