However, one major limitation of the Start workspace was that it became unavailable once you opened a document, and the only way to bring it back was to close all documents. The Start screen showed recent files that you had worked on and also offered access to both Adobe Stock and Adobe Help. In CC 2015, InDesign introduced the Start workspace as the initial view shown when you launched InDesign and had no document open. I hope you’ll find, as I have, that some of these changes result in better usability and easier access to features.

You’ll notice a few minor interface changes when working in InDesign 2020.

Many of those sources have been removed in this release. In addition to overall performance improvements, Adobe has also worked hard to stamp out sources of document corruption that have resulted in lost work for some users. This version promises faster text composition when working with vertical justification in frames, balance columns, and span columns. In previous releases and in certain situations, it was common to be typing away in InDesign only to be forced to sit and wait for the display to catch up. Just as important as bug-fixing is improving app performance, and I’m happy to report that InDesign 2020 offers some significant improvements in that area that are sure to make your work easier. Thankfully, the InDesign team has been tracking these and working diligently to fix them! InDesign 2020 contains a long list of bug fixes to address crashes related to things like IDML import, GREP searches, cross-references, anchored tables, and CC Libraries. No matter what you use it for, you’ve likely encountered a bug or two along the way that stopped you in your tracks and forced you to come up with a workaround of some kind. InDesign is a big product with a big audience. Before we get to the cool new stuff, here are some under-the-hood changes that are sure to improve your day-to-day experience with InDesign. We all want to see whiz-bang features added to InDesign, but sometimes the really important changes are ones that you just can’t see. The InDesign 2020 splash screen The Intangibles
