Those tabs house lists of InDesign templates you can download and use. Perhaps the best new thing about CC 2017.1 is another feature hiding inside the new New Document dialog box: There are several new tabs, including Print, Web, and Mobile. On the other hand, there is one new feature here, which I strongly applaud: You can set the measurements system for the document! In other words, if you want the document to be set to centimeters or picas or whatever, you can set that up here.īut if that’s not enough to convince you, note that you can disable this new dialog box design by turning on the “Use Legacy ‘New Document’ Dialog” checkbox in General Preferences. Plus, the new New Document dialog box is missing two features the older dialog box offered: the Intent popup menu and the Preview checkbox. But that is still ten times slower than the old dialog box, which opened, ready to use, almost instantaneously. The good news is that InDesign’s new New Document dialog box seems to be a little peppier, only taking an average of 3 seconds to open on my computer. I’ve seen it take up to 6 seconds to open! That may not sound like much when you read it, but believe me, waiting 6 seconds every time you create a new document will start to get on your nerves. I tried to like it in Photoshop, but I just couldn’t get past the fact that it takes far longer to open than the old dialog box. The main problem in Photoshop is that it’s slow to open - far slower than the older “legacy” New dialog box. New New DocumentĪdobe rolled out a new “New Document” dialog box in Photoshop and despite a less than enthusiastic response from users (to put it mildly), they decided to put it in Illustrator, too. Let’s take a look at the new user interface changes, and see where a couple little features snuck in. But we’ll all go along for the ride (at least those of us who are using CC) because it’s either that or we have to look at the annoying “1 update available” in the little CC app until CC 2018 comes out. Were you clamoring for a new UI? Were you sad because InDesign’s New Document dialog box was so old-looking? Neither was I. Instead, it only includes an updated “New Document” dialog box, some templates, and a UI makeover that affects the appearance of every button, tool, and panel.

Not “yay.” More like…” sigh.”Įven though InDesign CC 2017.1 is the first significant upgrade since CC 2017 shipped last October, other than a handful of welcome bug fixes, it offers almost no new features.

And today Adobe gave us a new version of InDesign, called CC 2017.1. And I usually love new versions of InDesign.
