Pantone alert in indesign

How do I get rid of this message?

I can't even read it, but if I click the oval it brings up the pantone message page...

Hi @Joe63 , The latest version of InDesign no longer installs the Pantone .acb files, and I’m guessing that’s what the message refers to.

 

There are a few options if you need to use the Pantone libraries: You can install the .acb files yourself from an earlier version of InDesign, they are located in this folder:

 

Applications⁩ ▸ ⁨Adobe InDesign 20XX⁩ ▸ ⁨Presets⁩ ▸ ⁨Swatch Libraries⁩

 

If you don’t have a backup of an earlier InDesign application folder, you can download the .acb files here:

 

https://github.com/Autocrit/Pantone-color-libraries

 

Or you can subscribe to and install Pantone’s Pantone Connect extension—InDesign>Window>Find Extensions on Exchange

In the swatches pallet: click the menue on the upper right and uncheck find this color.

    Thanks, I don't care about the Pantone colours and this got rid of the alert for me.

    Despite being truncated, did you open a document that already had Pantone colors in the Swatches Panel?
