Workflow Cheat Sheet

4. Check before every Apply

  • Intentional? Keep the occurrence and record an appropriate review decision. Dismiss or Mark as addressed does not edit text.
  • An eligible correction is offered? Confirm the exact target, fresh evidence, candidate strategy and acceptable side effects. Read Before/After; know whether the preview is panel-only or live. Choose Apply or Revert deliberately.
  • No suitable correction? Review the reason. Make a justified manual edit in InDesign or retain the occurrence. Do not force an unavailable action.
  • Document or settings changed? Obtain fresh results before another correction. Finish the active preview before starting competing work.

Typography dots identify rules, not urgency: repeated spaces; number–unit spacing; dash usage. Always read the name. See the Colour Atlas for examples and exceptions.
