According to Adobe, the October 2017 release of InDesign 2018 "focuses on improving the user experience with more control over commonly used features and workflows." At this meeting David Creamer describes each of the upgrades and new features in the latest version of InDesign.

 

Among the new features are:

  • Endnotes
  • Paragraph borders
  • Object width, height styles
  • Add and share text assets using Creative Cloud Libraries
  • Organize and filter fonts, including visually
  • Gradient swatches in a color group

We encourage those who have used one or more of these new features to attend and share their experience.
