InDesign contains a technology preview of our newest feature: Auto Style, powered by Adobe Sensei. This feature enables you to transform unformatted text into beautiful documents by applying multiple paragraph styles with a single click. Auto Style will analyze the text and automatically style headings, body copy, lists and more.
