Anyone else found that with the latest Indesign releases you ask for a new file and the command seeems to disappear into the ether?

It doesn't happen to me. Please tell us what operating system (exactly) you're running. Please tell us (exactly) what InDesign version you're using.
I'd suggest restoring your InDesign preferences and trying again:

– You're stating you go File > New > Document and nothing happens – is that correct?
Which version of your OS?
How much RAM?
Have you tried resetting your InDesign preferences?

Hi there,
Yes, I can create a new book but not a new document
No I haven’t tried resetting the preferences as I don’t want to lose all my set up that I already have in place and I don’t know how.
RAM not sure, it’s my work computer but should be fine.
Kind regards
Libbie

I am having the same or similar issue. I go to File>New>Document and the dialog box opens, but when I click Create, nothing happens. I am also unable to save document presets in this dialog box. Same problems when I go to the dialog box through the Create New button after opening InDesign.
I am on InDesign 2021, v 16.0 x64 (CC says it is latest version), OS is Win10 Enterprise ver 1909.

I did not see an edit button, so apologies for the double post. This issue does seem to be temporary/intermittent; it may have resolved with a simple restart of Id, but I'm not sure. I am now able to create (and preview) new documents from the dialog box and home screen.
