Export InDesign documents to Adobe Express

Export your InDesign documents to Adobe Express for quick and easy online editing! This makes it super simple for communicators and non-designers to customize and tweak InDesign templates right in Adobe Express.
It's a great way to share your designs and let others make edits effortlessly!

Ingest MathML to create math expressions

You asked for it, and here it is! Now, with the new MathML panel in InDesign, you can easily create, edit, and style math expressions. Simply input your expression using MathML, preview it, and place it directly in your document. Additionally, you can customize the font size and color of your math expressions to fit your design needs!

Text to Image Advanced Option

The Text to Image panel now has an Advanced option where you can see more sample prompts, add a Reference Image, and select a Style Effect. All variations will be downloaded to your computer in C:\Users\<userid>\Documents\InDesign GenAI Assets, and you can view them in the Links panel with the OK  icon.

Export to HTML5 package

Exporting InDesign documents as an HTML5 package for easy hosting on your website or server, which helps enhance SEO and accessibility. You can choose to export your text as HTML text or SVG tags.

Focused creativity with contextual task bar

The Contextual Task Bar helps you stay focused by displaying your next key actions. It updates automatically based on your work, ensuring you maintain your flow. It's pinned to your workspace but you can move or hide it as needed.

Enhancements to cloud document workflows

You can invite collaborators to edit your cloud documents from the InDesign desktop application. You can also create public links to view your cloud document anywhere, anytime.

Hide spread enhancements

With the new toggle option, control hidden spread visibility on your canvas. It helps keep your workspace organized. Auto-page numbering skips hidden spreads, regardless of visibility status.

Accessibility updates

Improved accessibility in InDesign enhances page breaks, tables, and figures for smoother navigation and supports figure and figcaption tags. Assistive technologies now announce figcaption instantly, helping users immediately understand the context when they enter a figure.

UXP enhancements

Explore the flyout menu options to save panel space, and persistent storage will save your plugin data in the corresponding InDesign version. Plugin storage migration can help copy the plugindata folder from a previous version to the current version automatically.
