Sometimes you may want to downgrade your current version of Adobe InDesign, or you may wish to upgrade Adobe InDesign to the most current version. This article tells you how to do it.

CHECK DESIGNMERGE SOFTWARE AVAILABILITY

First, please be sure that your Meadows software is available for the version of Adobe InDesign that you wish to install.

Current DesignMerge Versions

The most current version of DesignMerge software may be downloaded from the Meadows Downloads Page.

Older DesignMerge Versions

All older versions of DesignMerge software are available for download on our Legacy Software Downloads Page.

HOW TO INSTALL A DIFFERENT VERSION OF INDESIGN

The instructions below assume that you have some version of Adobe InDesign already installed on your system, and you wish to revert back to a previous version of Adobe InDesign, or upgrade to a newer version of Adobe InDesign.

1. Start up your current version of Adobe InDesign.
2. Launch the Adobe Creative Cloud application.
   Open the InDesign Help menu and choose Updates. This will open the Adobe Creative Cloud application.
3. Display the list of all installed and available apps.
   Select the All Apps tab in the Creative Cloud app to display the list of Adobe applications that are installed on your system. Note that you may need to sign in to your Adobe account using your Adobe ID at this point.
4. Locate InDesign in the list of apps.
5. Display more actions for the InDesign application.
   To do this, click the small 3-dots button next to the Open button for the InDesign application. This will reveal a menu with additional options.
6. Show the list of other versions.
   Select Other Versions from the more actions menu to reveal a list of all available versions of InDesign.
7. Click to install the version of InDesign you desire.
   Each version will have either an Install or Uninstall link. Click the Install link next to the version that you wish to install. If you do not see your desired version in the list, try logging out of your Adobe account, restarting the computer, and then repeating the above steps. If your version is still not listed, one possibility might be that the computer operating system you are running does not support the version you wish to install. If your system requirements are correct, you will need to contact Adobe at this point for further assistance.
8. Optional: Choose whether to retain previous versions.
   By default, previous versions of InDesign will be removed when you install a new version. If you want to keep your older version(s) of Adobe InDesign around (recommended), display Advanced Options and then un-check the check box labelled Remove older versions. This will leave your current version(s) of InDesign unmodified and available for later use.
9. The installation should begin.
   The version of InDesign you selected should be added automatically to the All Apps list in Creative Cloud. You should also see a progress bar appear next to this new entry while the application is being downloaded and installed. Follow the prompts (if any). When the installation has finished, you should see an Open button for this version of InDesign in the All Apps list.

For additional information, please see the Adobe Creative Cloud User Guide.
