When you launch InDesign, the first screen that you see is the Home screen, which provides access to various in-app learning resources. These learning resources help you learn the fundamentals of InDesign and enable you to get started with your project. A project may include posters, flyers, brochures, magazines, newspapers, books, e-books, and more.

The contents of the Home screen are tailored based on your familiarity with InDesign and your Creative Cloud membership plan.

To refer to a wide range of step-by-step tutorials (with or without sample files), click the Learn tab. These tutorials will help you learn and understand the concepts, workflows, tips, and tricks.
