Hi @Sebastián5FEC :

 

This is a Mac issue and not an InDesign issue.

 

On your Mac, choose System Preferences from the Apple menu in the top left corner. Click on Dock & Menu Bar.

 

As per @Woodley43's reply, you can choose to Automatically hide and show the dock as you hover over the bottom of your screen when InDesign is maximized. However, I often observe my students inadvertantly showing the dock when they mean to access the Preflight panel, so the arrow below is meant to alert to you to the various positions for the dock—you might like it better on the left or right of your display, rather than at the bottom. Above that, you have controls to determine the dock size and the magnification (if you are enabling the Scale Effect).

If it just recently happened, you may have accidentally typed the key shortcut to show/hide the dock. By default, it's option-command-D (see system prefereences > keyboard > shortcuts to set or turn on/off that feature)

Preferences/Dock/Menues: When you activate "automatic..." it dissapears and shows up again, when your cursor hits the monitor side, where it is defined to be.
