Trying to get rid of the "new feature" blue dots

tell your team that if they do not walk that back, and give us a way to remove that feature, that we will be canceling our adobe subscriptions

We don't need to see what’s new. we don’t need badges on menu items. I do NOT want to see a little blue dot on Open a pdf in my file menu every time i go to place an image

we are NOT being understanding, we are NOT in agreement with your team, and tell your team that if they want to lose a whole LOT of professional customers, they are doing a very good job of giving us all a good reason to find other products to replace our adobe products with

and tell them this, today

If Adobe does not remove those annoying “new features” badges, or give me some way to permanently keep them from showing up - i WILL be finding other products to use instead of Adobe products. I hate them, i don’t need to see them, if i want to know what the new features are, i can go look on the adobe website

I currently pay for a full CC subscription, all products. I will cancel that if adobe does not allow me to disable the feature they think is cute and necessary - which is not only not cute and not necessary, but extremely annoying and frustrating to ahve to deal with

right now there’s a little blue dot on open a pdf in my file menu. i don’t want to open a pdf. i don’t want to have to deal with a pdf. i’m in the middle of a book and every time i need to place an image I see a little blue dot screaming at me OPEN A PDF NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These blue dots Adobe has added are not only annoying but treat us professionals like idiots. At the very least their MUST be an option to turn them off. Ideally you would never do it by default. 

Hi @Lord_Helmet,

Thanks for reaching out, and I completely understand how those persistent blue dots can get distracting, especially when they keep popping back up after updates or restarts.

I was able to reproduce this on my end as well. This behavior typically appears after you have recently cleared preferences, updated, or installed InDesign. The blue dots are designed to highlight new features and usually disappear after you have fully used the feature once. Once that interaction happens, they should not come back unless preferences are reset again or the app is freshly installed.

There is currently no dedicated setting to permanently disable them, but I have flagged this with the product team to check if it is something that is being tracked for improvement.

Could you let me know which version of InDesign you are using and whether you are syncing settings across devices? 

Looking forward to your update, and I will keep you posted once I hear back from the team!
