Does Avellio replace InDesign Preflight?
No. Avellio is a typography-focused preflight layer. It adds style, composed typography, locale, semantic and break evidence. InDesign Preflight remains the right tool for links, images, ICC profiles, overset/output conditions and production profiles.
Does Avellio automatically change my document?
Analysis is read-only. Some diagnostic modes add reversible visual markers, and corrective actions intentionally change exact text or local formatting only after the required audit, guards and user confirmation. Work on a saved duplicate and erase diagnostics before delivery.
Does it upload InDesign documents?
No. Document analysis runs locally inside InDesign. Licence activation and periodic entitlement validation are separate network operations and should not transmit the client document.
Is Live Mode the final QA record?
No. Live Mode is responsive editing feedback and may show “Needs audit.” Run the appropriate complete Style Integrity Audit or Typography Audit immediately before fixes, final exports and delivery decisions.
Which InDesign and operating-system versions are supported?
Avellio 1.1.0 uses Adobe InDesign ExtendScript and ScriptUI on desktop Windows and macOS. Use the published, tested support matrix for exact marketed combinations; a generic “CC 2020+” statement alone is not release certification.
What should I run first?
Use a disposable or saved working copy. Start with Conservative Proofing on Current Spread for a low-noise orientation, review the evidence, then run a complete audit before opening Fixes or exporting reports.
