Question

Which InDesign feature saves you the most time?

I've been exploring more of InDesign recently, and I'm curious which features other designers rely on the most.

  • Which feature has improved your workflow the most?
  • Are there any hidden shortcuts or tools that more people should know about?
  • Do you use GREP, Data Merge, Object Styles, Scripts, Variables, or another productivity feature?
  • What's one InDesign tip you wish you had learned much earlier?

I'd love to hear your favorite time-saving tricks and recommendations!

    95% of the time i just need to export a medium res pdf in the locaiton of the indesign file. I have a script to do this and assigned a keyboard shortcut to it so i literally press one key and it exports the pdf. No dialogue box or additional clicks to deal with. Probably what saves me the most time overall.
