CS4 introduced a new consistent interface for the Adobe applications. This included the application frame for mac users, a tabbed interface and a other changes. One useful, but small change is the introduction of visual feedback of the save status for your open files.
When you have a file (or multiple files) open look at the name at the top of the documents window. If there is a small * next to the file name, it means that the file has not been saved since the last change.
This is not unique to InDesign CS4. Every other CS4 app that uses this updated interface also will use the *filename feedback to let you know if the file has been saved.
