Transparency Grid in InDesign??

Community Beginner ,

Does any know if there is the equivalent of the artboard 'transparency grid' in Illustrator in InDesign? I couldn't see a setting anywhere or anything online about it.

No, but you  could draw one in Illustrator and place it on a locked layer on the master page. Make it the bottom layer and set it to non-printing.

No, but there’s the Flattener Preview panel, which will highlight objects with any transparency or transparency effect applied. Here the black fill is set to Multiply, so it gets highlighted:

You could also change the Paper color. Not really a grid, but it would show you where that are not any objects on the page (the closest thing that InDesign gets to transparency).
