Use Adobe Bridge with InDesign

Bridge is a cross-platform application included with Adobe Creative Cloud components that helps you locate, organize, and browse assets to create print, web, video, and audio content. Start Bridge from any Creative Cloud component (except Adobe Acrobat®) and use it to access both Adobe and non-Adobe asset types.
