InDesign is layout software meant for creating print and digital projects such as flyers, brochures, and books. InDesign is used to arrange elements and design layouts, and isnt meant as a photo editor or word processor. If a project requires edited images or big blocks of text, consider using other programs and then importing or copying them into an InDesign. Photoshop can be used to edit images, and Google Docs or Word can be used to draft text. Be aware that different versions of InDesign may vary in appearance and functionality.

Note: If InDesign is too complex of a program to start, try a free and easy-to-use alternative, Gravit Designer or Canva.
