Hello.

Is there a way to configure a preflight setting so it olnly checks visible objects and layers, excludes hidden objects and turned of layers?

@mattiaso33135605 Would this be a good use of Conditional text and Conditional Sets ? These provide handy ways to hide and show different things but it depends on your specifics.

Hi!

I need to explain our situation/workflow a little more.

We use a populating plug in Easy Cataloge from 65Bit https://www.65bit.com/software/easycatalog/

we use templates that are show/hides different elements depending of the input with rules.

The benefit from hiding objects from deleting them is that if it changes in the manuscript/data source the template can change to the appropiate apperence that meets the requirements. But we dont want all that hidden objects to be included in the preflight check because then we get so much warnings, especially of overflowing text.
