    Thank you Adobe once again. I have to downgrade InDesign so I can work. "Good" work!

    Did you want help? If so, please post your system specs including full operating system version and if you're on a Mac and have Magnet installed, uninstall it.

    Mac mini M1, 2020, 16 GB. Mac OS 13.7.1 (22H221). I don't even know what Magnet is. All I know is that previous versions of InDesign crashed from time to time, but InDesign 2025 crashes all the time. Can you help me now?

    Hi @Sabrina22716845prss

     

    I’m sorry to hear about the crashes—I understand how frustrating that can be. Could you share a few more details to help us troubleshoot?

    • Operating system and InDesign version you’re using
    • When did the issue start? Did it begin after a recent update?
    • Is this happening with a specific file, or across multiple files?

     

    We’re here to help; just need a bit more information.

     

    Regards,

    Srishti

    Hi Srishti,

    Update to the latest version of Sonoma, macOS 14.7 - will it make a difference?
