With the missing link highlighted – it will be flagged up with a red question mark if missing – I click on the Relink button, symbolised by a chain link, at the bottom of the top section of the Links panel.įrom here, I can track down the missing link, and click Open to relink it. InDesign is trying to help you out here, so it tells you what the specific problem is, and how you can resolve it.

Handy!Ĭlick to select the name of the link in the Preflight panel, then expand the Info window at the bottom of the panel. If you double-click the name of the link, InDesign will take you directly to it in your document. Clicking the grey arrow again the name of the missing link is revealed. If I click on the grey arrow to the left of the text, the error message expands, to reveal it’s a missing link. At the top here, there’s one Links error, for example. In this window, Preflight lists the errors it’s found, and categorises them into different groups. In the main part of the panel is the Error window.

This means that InDesign will actively flag up technical errors as you work, and update them to ‘No errors’ as you resolve them. As a rule, you should always have Preflight set to On. You can also access the Preflight panel from the top menu, under Window > Output > Preflight.įirst up, at the top left of the panel you can see a check box for turning Preflight On and Off. If I double-click on the red circle, I will open up the Preflight panel. As long as there is a red circle here, this means that there are errors in the document that need to be addressed before I send the document to print.

But then, if I take a look down at the bottom left of the screen, I notice a little red circle, next to some text reading ‘ 3 errors’. Preflight is an essential part of the InDesign proof process, and is especially important for addressing technical errors, like missing images, missing fonts or overset text. The Preflight panel is going to flag up any technical issues that might cause a problem when you want to package your InDesign file, export it, or send it to a printer. OK, so what is Preflight? It sounds like something you might have to do before an aircraft takes off, and it is really the same idea, but instead for preparing a design document to ‘take off’ from the screen to go to the printing press.īefore you can export your InDesign document to a print-ready format, you need to make sure that everything is going to print in the way that you want it to. You can also get some more stats about the text content in your document by seeing what you can find out from the Info panel. Before you even look into performing a Preflight, which we’ll take a more in-depth look at here, you should check for spelling errors by conducting a spell check.
