      I have been looking for ways to insert footnotes in a separate column next to the main text not at the bottom of the text. I couldn’t find any solution on the web. Is it even possible? I have seen a couple of papers and books with this format, so I assumed there should be a way to do this.

      Do you mean for all pages, or just the last page of the chapter?

      If the former, I think it’s always going to go at the bottom of the page. If the latter, there is an option in the footnote options (layout) to put end of story footnotes at the bottom of the page or not to.

      Yes, there’s a free script for that by Peter Kahrel. You can find it here: https://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/sidenotes.html

        Nice find!

        EDIT: Misunderstood the original post. I thought OP meant next to text bottom not sides.
