InDesign UXP Plugin Menu Persistence

Question

Are there any plans to allow for the plugin menu to be persistent when saved into a workspace? It was convenient to always have the CEP plugins at hand when needed. It gets a little annoying to have to pull it out of the top menu and reposition every time InDesign closes or crashes.

With no documents open - go to Plug-ins at the top and view the Plugins Panel - then dock the Plug-in Panel

With no documents open this becomes the default going forward - you can then save your Workspace so you can quickly reset it.

And I don't know if InDesign natively support persistent plugin menus within workspaces, I don't use any plug-ins. However, if this is a feature that many users have requested, particularly for the convenience it offers in accessing frequently used CEP plugins.

There may be alternative workflows or workaround solutions, such as creating custom keyboard shortcuts or utilising third-party tools to streamline access to frequently used plugins.

But, sharing feedback directly with Adobe through their official channels, such as feature request portal, willl help prioritise improvements, link shared already.
