Hi @andymalhan,

Thanks for bringing this up! I've checked across multiple versions, including InDesign 2024 and 2025, and I couldn't find the Divide option in the Pathfinder panel like we have in Illustrator. I totally understand how important this functionality is to your workflow, and I'm really sorry it's not available in InDesign at the moment.

Would you mind creating a feature request for this on UserVoice? Adding your comments there will help us track demand for this feature and prioritize it accordingly, and you'll also get notified of any updates from the team.

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need any help. We'd be happy to assist!

Have InDesign 2022 and it's in 2022 either.

As a workaround - you could use an extra rectangle - after you duplicate your original object and then use 2nd rectangle to "remove" the other side.
