@schroef Are you able to add "Selected" to the Artboard selection field? Much like you have under the Layer Comp selection pull down?

You're messing with our muscle memory again Adobe while also slowing my ability to work down. (Albeit by a couple of seconds per click, but do you know how many selection-clicks I do in a day!?) Pre latest update, Cmnd-Shift-Click would select whatever was under the cursor + whatever was selected before. Making say, selecting a product + it's shadow a breeze. Now to do the same thing we have to Cmnd-Shift-RightClick > Search and select the desired layer in the pop-up? Seriously? Who's brilliant idea was it to do this? Obviously not someone who works with group shots of products. Please tell me there's a prefrence hidden somewhere so I can reverse the utterly garbage decision.

Was working on a project the other day where I couldn't help but ask, "Why don't I have corner options (rounded, kerfed) under the stroke effect?". We have them in Illustrator and InDesign, why not Photoshop? It'd be great to save presets as an effect/style so we don't have to rely on creating/controlling vector shapes with the attributes. That's it, that's the question.

My bigger issue is how certain features—like share for review—are useless unless the files are saved to the cloud. I get it Adobe, you want us in your ecosystem. The problem is that many design shops already have ecosystems that—logistically speaking—aren't easy to give up or migrate from.

I heard a comment yesterday by one of your MAX presenters that there's a consideration to eventually phase out InCopy now that you're introducing Online Editing. So, unless I missed the part stating that one can link those online submissions across multiple InDesign documents while also applying Paragraph/Character styles. I'm here to implore you to NOT do that. While what I've seen of Online Editing is pretty cool, and I certainly see a lot of people using it. I would hate for my team to loose all the efficiences we've gained by bringing InCopy into our workflow. As a marketer responsible for creating many differnt pieces of signange that uses the same exact copy, InCopy has been a major boon to our process. Especially when it comes to maintaining consistency and implementing any/all copy changes. Our proofing team especially loves InCopy, as they can proof a singular document, vs. however many elements we're outputting. My designers adore how they can hit that update button to implement 10s – 100s of changes in an instant. I realize we're not using the app as it was originally intended, but InCopy has saved my team HOURS of work over the course of the past year, and unless this new online feature can do the same, I shudder at the thought of loosing it.

I work for a marketing agency and was looking to implement InCopy into our workflow as the thought of creating a single copy doc to share between not only copywriter, designer and proofing but also the multiple layout interations we create (posters, shelf talks, flyers, etc.) is incredibly alluring. It's as close to "smart copy" that I've seen to date and would save designers hours of work over the length of a job's life. However, while I have learned how to edit type styles to allow the type to change on the fly the one thing that's preventing me from implementing InCopy's addition is how it doesn't allow custom paragraph rags between shared documents. If there was a way to allow InDesign to track uniqe paragraph breaks per document I think that'd do the trick—but obviously I'm not a software engineer. If someone's thought of a workaround for this issue, I'd love to hear about it! Have a great day.
