Why do i have to see all the time a pop up for adobe express inside In Design. It's annoying. How to stop that?

I need to stop the annoying pop up that is asking from me to use adobe express.

    Setting up and saving a Custom Workspace can often get rid of the pop-ups. InDesign will then no longer think that you’re a new user and should stop trying to “sell” you stuff you obviously don’t want.

    Speaking of heavy-handed Adobe Express promotion:

    I would love to remove the Adobe Express (and ugly, low res icon) from the Edit With list when I right-click on an image. It’s distracting.

     Why is there an icon for Adobe Express only and not the other Adobe apps in the list (and the other apps not even aligned)? Why is it in the middle of the list where it looks the most awkward (and not in alpha order). Why is the icon low res in this day and age?

    Please Adobe, if we can’t remove it entirely, at least remove the icon and/or shove it to the bottom of the list.

    I’d include a screen cap to illustrate but I keep getting a “something went wrong” alert when I try to attach the small image (tried both png and jpg). SMH.

    Hi Harshika, thank you for your reply. I don’t think I’ll spend the time submitting feedback. I’ve submitted feedback many times before and never saw a change, even for glaring, longstanding bugs. Except for the “Share” button going from bright blue to grey (like it is in Illustrator). That change took 2 years and many users complaining, for Adobe to finally change a colour. I think Adobe is focussed on shoving AI (and the need to buy tokens) into every corner rather than bug fixes and decent UI/UX.

    This didn’t work for me. I always use Custom Workspaces. I set-up a brand new one today, and I still get the pop-up for Adobe Express whenever I export my first PDF of the day. It didn’t do it for later PDFs. Is there a setting in “Preferences” that I’m missing?

    Hi ​@ConcreteDiamonds,

     

    Sorry to hear that the custom workspace workaround didn't help in your case.

    Could you please try the suggestion mentioned in the following thread and let us know if it makes any difference?
    https://community.adobe.com/questions-671/fr-how-to-disable-learn-more-pop-ups-in-indesign-892201?postid=7685831#post7685831

    If you're on Windows, the location referenced in that post would be:

    \Resources\CEP\extensions\com.adobe.butler.OnBoarding

    Please let us know whether the Adobe Express prompt stops appearing after trying the above steps, and we'll take it from there.

     

    Thanks,
    Abhishek
