Hello, have a nice day. is it possible to get the new version of InDesign? (2023 or 2024) I would be very grateful.
Please share an updated recent version. Current one is japanese version based, has too many unused features and options filled on your screen, making you hard to find required ones. Love your works btw. Best regards.
