James Wamser has updated his indispensable InDesign New Features Guide so it includes CC 2015.1
The 101-page interactive PDF is free and a must-have quick reference for hardcore, get-a-life InDesign geeks…not that I know anyone who fits that description ;)

What would be your suggestion for me to download your 100-page free InDesign PDF file? thank you!
Hi Bev- Thanks for mentioning the broken link. It’s fixed now.
thank you!
I don’t know whether it’s just me or if everybody
else encountering problems with your site. It seems like some of the written text within your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide
feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too?
This might be a issue with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen before.
Cheers
Thanks for all of this effort!
Great job!
I’ve updated the CC app and everything else as well. Also, I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the software, to no avail.
I’ve just had another message: “no internet connection,” again!! :) :)
Anyway, many thanks for responding, David.
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if there’s a problem with the Adobe servers today?
I have a brand new mac, so that’s not a problem. All other apps are working (including Microsoft) but unfortunately Adobe’s not! I keep getting the message; “no internet connection”; but that is a load of rubbish. Then when it does decide to work it’s only for a short time before it crashes! Is anyone else having the same problem? Thanks in anticipation.
I saw that a lot last week. I fixed it by quitting the Adobe Creative Cloud app and restarting it. I think the CC app had to update itself, too.
2015.1 version but there is no wrap footnote text, endnote, multiple index…
Many thanks for the updated “New Features Guide for CC 2015.1” – its a great help!
Anita, you’re very welcome!
I kinda resent the “indecisive designers” comment on Automatic Layout Adjustment. I had to use it when the guy I was laying out a book for decided at the last minute that he wanted it 5.5 x 8.5 instead of 6×9. Couldn’t talk him out of it.
Lynn, I kinda resent the “indecisive designers” comment on Automatic Layout Adjustment too, so I replaced the “old” description with a new one I took from the current Adobe Help website. PDF has been updated.
Much better! Thanks!
This is a very useful overview, thanks.
I do have a question about Publish Online (Preview), which you say “is available in North America (en_US) and UK (en_GB) only.” Do you really mean it is available for users physically based in those two countries only, or do you mean it’s available only to users whose Indesign uses those versions of English? (sorry if I phrased that awkwardly) I am in Australia, and keen to try out this feature.
Thanks.
Karen: I believe in CC 2015.1 (released this week) it is available to everyone.
Thanks Mike … for the comprehensive version update to the ROTFL line “get-a-life InDesign geeks.” Oh yeah. I get asked about upgrades all the time and have had to keep my own charted comparison; this is very handy.
Great catch Alex, just fixed the typo!
In the file: a typo in the first sentence of the first paragraph.
